CHAPTER XXI 
Malio asked Halaaniani, “ What did you dream 2” 
Said Halaaniani, “I dreamed nothing, as I slept I knew nothing, 
had not the least dream until I awoke just now.” 
Halaaniani asked his sister, “ How was it with you?” 
Said his sister, “I had a dream; as we slept we went into the 
thicket; you slept in your hollow tree and I in mine; my spirit saw a 
little bird building its nest; when it was completed the bird whose 
the nest was flew away out of sight. And by-and-by another bird 
flew hither and sat upon the nest, but I saw not that bird come again 
whose the nest was.” 
Asked Halaaniani of the dream, “ What is the meaning of this 
dream ?” : 
His sister told him the true meaning of the dream. “ You will 
prosper; for the first bird whose the nest was, that is Kekalukaluo- 
kewa, and the nest, that is Laieikawai, and the last bird who sat in 
the nest, that is you. Therefore this very morning the woman shall 
be yours. When Waka. sends Laieikawai on the wings of the birds 
for the marriage with Kekalukaluokewa, mist and fog will cover the 
land; when it clears, then you three will appear riding on the crest 
of the wave, then you shall see that I have power to veil Waka’s face 
from seeing what I am doing for you; so let us arise and get near to 
the place where Laieikawai weds.” 
After Malio’s explanation of the dream was ended they went right 
to the place where the others were. 
~ Now Malio had power to do supernatural deeds; 1t was to secure 
this power that she lived apart. 
When they came to Keaau they saw Kekalukaluokewa swimming 
out for surf riding.
