Legend oj Aukeleniiiaikn. 91 



Mahope o keia olelo ana a lana, lele mai la o Aukelenuiaiku a kau ana i luna o 

 Kuemanu. Olelo iho o Aukelenuiaiku : "Nan no ke kupu owau." Ninau mai kela: 

 "Na'u na wai?" "O ke keiki an a Kapapaiakea laua o Iku." A lohe o Kuemanu i keia 

 mau olelo, uwe iho la ia ia Aukelenuiaiku, a ninau ae la: "O ka moopuna no oe a 

 Kapoino laua o Kamooinanea?" "Ae," aku o Aukelenuiaiku, "ae, owau no ka laua 

 moopuna." Alalia, ninau mai la o Kuemanu: "Heaha kau liuakai nui o ka hiki ana 

 mai?" I aku o Aukelenuiaiku: "I hele mai au e imi i ka wai ola loa a Kane, no kuu 

 keiki a me o'u kaikuaana." "Ae, ua loaa; o ilio i lalo i ko kupunawahine, aia i lalo 

 kahi i noho ai i ke kumu o ka pali, oia o Lualiinekaikapu, ua makapo nae. A hiki oe, 

 e puleliu niaia ana kela, hookahi kauna maia, i lalau auanei kela liookahi, lalau oe hoo- 

 kahi, pela a pan na maia eha. Alalia, nana ia e lalavi iho a nele, olelo iho, penei : 'Nohea 

 la hoi keia kalohe i hiki mai nei?' Alalia, lalau kela i ka lehu a In ma ka aoao akau, 

 holo oe ma ka aoao hema e ku ai, a pau ia, lu hou kela ma ka aoao hema, holo oe ma 

 ka aoao akau e ku ai. Mahope o laila, nana aku oe i ka lalau i ka lehu a honi i ka ihu, 

 a i kihe kela ma keia nana ana, ua honi i ka hohono kanaka, alalia, malama oe ia oe 

 iho, o make oe i ka luahine. Nana aku oe, hookahi make i koe; lalau kela i ka ie hohoa 

 a hili ia oe, holo oe ma ka hema, a hull ma ka hema e hili ai, holo oe ma ka akau. 

 A hala keia mau mea, alalia, holo oe a pii i luna o ke kua e noho ai." 



Maanei, e waiho kakou i na olelo o ka launa ana o Aukelenuiaiku me ke kupuna- 

 wahine, a kona kupunakane i aoao mai ai, a e olelo kakoii no ka pau ana o na mea make 

 a ka luahine ia Aukelenuiaiku, a me na olelo hope. 



A pau na mea make a ke kupunawahine, alalia, pii ae la o Aukelenuiaiku a noho 

 iho la i luna o ka uha, ninau ae la ke kupunawahine: "Na wai ke kupu o oe?" I aku 

 o Aukelenuiaiku: "Nau no." "Na'u na wai?" "Owau no ke keiki a Kapapaiakea a 

 me Iku." A lohe ke kupunawahine, olelo ae la ia ia Aukelenuiaiku: "O ka moopuna 

 no oe a Kapoino laua o Kamooinanea?" " Ae," aku o Aukelenuiaiku, "ae." Ia wa ninau 

 mai la kona kupunawahine : "Heaha ka huakai nui a kuu haku o ka hiki ana mai ianei?" 

 "I kii mai nei au i ka wai ola loa a Kane, no kuu keiki a me o'u kaikuaana." Ninau 

 aku ke kupunawahine ia Aukelenuiaiku, "ua pau loa nae paha?" "Aole." "E ka 

 moopuna, e nana mai oe ia'u, aohe maka, ua makapo, aohe ike aku, aole paha auanei e 

 loaa ka wai ola loa a Kane." 



Ma keia mau olelo a kona kupunawahine, ua komo mai ke kanalua ia Aukele- 

 nuiaiku no ka hooko ole ia o kona makemake. Nolaila, noonoo iho la o Aukelenuiaiku 

 a maopopo ia ia, i aku la ia i ke kupunawahine : "E hele kaua i waho", a lohe ke kupu- 

 nawahine, ae mai la ia. Alakai aku la o Aukelenuiaiku a hiki i waho, hoomoe iho la i 

 ke kupunawahine malalo o ke kumu niu, pii ae la o Aukelenuiaiku i luna o ka niu, a 

 loaa elua muo hou o ka niu. Mahope o ka hahaki ana a Aukelenuiaiku i na muo niu
