6o8 Fornander Collection of Hawaiian Folk-lore. 



At that very moment her beauty was restored to her, while the gods set fire to 

 the dancing hoiise, consuming the house, her sister-in-law and all the people who had 

 insulted her; they all perished. 



After this Kahikiula called out to his sister: "Come in, Laukiamanuikahiki." 

 She refused, saying: "I will not come to you, for you have caused me to suffer in 3'our 

 own home. Here I am returning to Kuaihelani." 



In this legend, it is seen that it was not considered wrong for a brother to take 

 his sister to wife. It is also seen that they also suffered in those days just as we do in 

 these days. They also hated one another and in fact lived as we now live.' Therefore 

 these customs of days gone by are guidings for after generations. 



■ This legend closes with a inis-stateinent of modern life resembling in all respects that of ancient times in the effort 

 to show that human nature is the same. Civilization, law and order and education overcame pagan customs many 

 years before the foregoing was written.
