Legend of Kaipalaoa, tlic Hoopapa Youngster. 581 



hokeo a wehe ae la i ke poi, lawe niai la i ka mauu, lie kuolohia, a haliilii, i ka moena, 

 hie ahu hinano aala no Puna, a uhola; he aaliu kapa ouholowai no Olaa, ua hele a po i 

 ke ala o ka olapa. Ma keia man mea a lakou, ua pai wale, olelo na kanaka niakua: 

 "O ka mea palia ia i loaa iaia, koe hoi keia, ianei ia la make." 



Olelo na kanaka makua: "E kaka ka wahie, e hoa ka umu, e umi ka puaa, a 

 moa, inn ka awa", hana lakou la i ka lakou la. Lalau aku la keia iloko o ka hokeo, 

 he pauku wahie, ua wawahi ia a liilii, pu-a ia a paa i ke kaula; huki ae la keia i ke 

 kaula helelei, lalau aku la keia he laulau iliili, loaa ke a o ka umu, a a ka umu. Lalau 

 aku la keia he puaa kukui, ua hana ia a like me ke kino o ka puaa, lalau aku la i ka 

 aha a uumi iho la ma ka ihu; o ka uwi a ka aha, olelo iho keia: "U, akahi ka i ka puaa 

 uwe loihi." Kau aku la i ka umu, a pan ae la ka ili o waho i ka paholehole, koe iho 

 la ke kino aiai o ke kukui; kua-i iho la ia loko, lalau iho la keia ma ka opu (ua waiho 

 ia he naau ame ka io o ka puaa ma ia wahi), a huki ae la i ka naau, a pan, kalua; kii 

 aku la i na pea kauwawe i loko o ka hokeo, kalua iho la a nalo ka umu. 



Kalua like na umu, mama na awa, mama ko lakou la he awa maoli, he man 

 mana no koi nei ua wali, elua, he awa no luna o ka laau. Moa ka puaa, okioki ka lakou 

 la he puaa maoli, pololei iho la no keia a ka io o ka puaa i hoopili ia me ke kukui, lawe 

 ae la ai. A pau ka ai ana, ooki mai la ka ona o ka awa i ke keiki, noho iho la me ke 

 kuloii. 



Olelo mai la na kanaka makua: "E ke keiki, e lealea kakou." "Eia ka lealea 

 la he hula, mamua ka hula, mahope ka hoopapa." Hula na kanaka makua, he kanaka 

 ko mua, he kanaka ko hope. Hula ke keiki mamua, he kii mahope e hoopaa ai. I aku 

 na kanaka makua: "Kupanaha, o kau hoopaa ka ke kii, he kanaka ka makou hoopaa, 

 he leo, he walaau, hookahi na hana like ana." I aku ke keiki: "Wahahee; i kaulana 

 nei mea o ka hoopaa i ka paa o hope o ka hula, aohe leo pane, aohe walaau, hookahi 

 waha olelo o ka hula. O ka'u ka hoopaa, he poe hula wale no oukou a pau loa."
