Legend of Piiiiiakaia. 157 



NO KAALAEA. 



Holo aku la o Kaalaea, nie kona mau kaikunane he unii, he unii lakou he umi 

 waa, o ko Kaalaea waa, he uniikumamakahi waa; a hiki lakou ma kahi o ka ia i pae 

 ai, ]iae aku la na waa o lakou a uka, kau iho la, noho iho la o Kaalaea ma ka ae one 

 maloo, me ka hele ole ma o a ma o, me ka noho malie e nana ana i na kanaka i ka ohi i 

 ka ia, a me na wahine. 



Ia ia c noho ana ma laila, ike mai la o Puniakaia i ka wahine maikai o Kaalaea, 

 i ka noho malie, i ka like ole me na wahine e ae, alalia, olelo aku la o Puniakaia i kona 

 makuahine ia Halekou: "E Halekou e, e kii ana an i kela wahine na'u, no ka mea, he 

 wahine maikai loa, aohe pun, aohe kee, ua like kona maikai me ko'u." Ae mai o 

 Halekou: "Ae, o kau wahine ia, ua like olua a elua, ua like na kino, na maikai, na nani, 

 nolaila, e kii oe i wahine nau." 



A hiki o Puniakaia i nuia o Kaalaea, olelo aku la i wahine nana, ae mai la no o 

 Kaalaea; i aku no nae o I'uniakaia ia Kaalaea: "E, i hele kaua a hiki i mua o ka ma- 

 kuahine o kaua, mai hilahila oe, hele no oe a noho i luna o na uha." Hele aku la laua a 

 hiki i mua o Halekou, noho iho la o Kaalaea i luna o na uha o Halekou, a liuliu iki, kena 

 ae la o Halekou i na kanaka, e hooili i ka ia i na waa he umi, a pela na waa e ae; piha 

 i ka waiwai, o keia waiwai, he waiwai hookupu na na mea a pan. Hookupu o Halekou 

 i kana waiwai na Kaalaea, pela o Nuupia, hookupu i kana waiwai ia Kaalaea, a pela o 

 Puniakaia, akolu lakou i hookupu ia Kaalaea, hookahi no o Kaalaea o ka hookupu ana, 

 ua oi kana waiwai i nuui o ka na mea ekolu. A pan ka hooku])u ana, hoi aku la o 

 Kaalaea i kona wahi me kona mau kaikunane a me kona mau niakua. 



A hala lakou, nonoi aku o Puniakaia ia Halekou, e hoi me ka wahine me Kaa- 

 laea e noho ai. [ mai o Halekou: "E kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe, e hele ana oe i ka 

 hale o ko wahine e noho ai, e mainoino ana nae oe, a e hoi koke mai ana oe i anei, aole 

 oe e liuliu aku." A pau ka Halekou olelo ana, hele aku la ia i ko Kaalaea wahi, a noho 

 pu iho la laua, he kane a he wahine. I ka wa ai, he mea mau i na kaikoeke o Punia- 

 kaia ka hoomakaukau i na mea ai, a me ka noho ana o Puniakaia i luna o ka uha o 

 kona mau kaikoeke, a na lakou e hanai i ka wa e ai ai. Pela ka hana mau ana o na 

 kaikoeke ia Puniakaia, a hala ka wa loihi, hookahi no hana a Puniakaia o ka hiamoe i 

 na la a pau loa, me ka wahine me Kaalaea. 



I kekahi la, ia laua e moe ana, hele mai la, kekahi makuahine o Kaalaea, a me 

 kekahi poe e ae, a hiki i kahi a laua nei e moe ana, e hele ana i ka lawaia papai. I mai la ka 

 makuahine: "E Kaalaea, e ala e hele kakou i ka lawaia papai; o ke aha kau hana, o ka 

 moe wale iho la no, a ala ae wae i ka piapia o na maka, popoi i ka nalo a ai ae." Ia ia 

 e olelo ana, e nana mai ana no o Puniakaia maloko o ke kihei kalukalu nahenahe, me 

 ke ala mai no, a hoolohe; aka, o ka makuahine nana i olelo, aole ona manao e ala ana, 

 ua manao no ia, e hiamoe ana o Puniakaia. 



Aka, ua huhu loa o Puniakaia i keia lohe ana, nolaila, hookananuha loa iho la ia i 

 kona mau kaikoeke, aole ekemu, aole hele pu e ai e like me mamua ; nolaila, noonoo iho
