Olelo aku la o Malio ia Halaaniani, “EF hoolohe oe i ka’u, ina i 
hiki oukou ma kulana heenalu, a hee oukou i ka nalu, mai hoopae oe, 
e hoomake oe i kou nalu, pela no oe e hoomake ai a hala na nalu eha 
o ko laua hee ana, ai ka lima o ka nalu, oia ko laua nalu pau. Malie 
o hoohuoi Jaua i kou pae ole, ninau iho i ke kumu o kou pae ole ana, 
alaila nai aku oe, no ka maa ole 1 ka hee ana o ka nalu po kopoko, 
ai ninau mai i kau nalu loihi e hee ai, alaila hai aku oe o Huia. 
Ina i maliu ole mai kela i kau olelo, a hoomakaukau laua e hee 1 ko 
laua nalu pau, ia laua e hee ai, alaila hopu aku oe 1 na wawae o Laiei- 
kawai, i hee aku o Kekalukaluokewa oia wale. <A lilo ia oe kela 
wahine, alaila ahai oe i ka moana loa, nana mai oe ia uka nei, e au 
aku ana o Kumukahi iloko o ka ale, alaila o ke kulana nalu ia, alaila 
pule aeoe ma kuu inoa, a na’u no e hoouna aku i nalu maluna o olua, 
o kou nalu no ia ko kou makemake, lilo loa ia oe.” 
Ta laua no e kamailio ana i keia mau mea, uhi ana ka noe a Waka 
maluna o ka aina. Ja manawa, kui ka hekili, aia o Laieikawai ma 
kaluna nalu, na Waka ia. Kui hou ka hekili, o ka lua ia, na Malio 
ia. I ka mao ane ae o ka noe, aia ekolu poe e lana ana ma kulana nalu 
e ku ana, a he mea haohao ia ia uka i ka nana aku. 
E like me ke kauoha a Waka i kana moopuna, “Aole e olelo i na 
mea e ae, a laa ka ihu ia Kekalukaluokewa, alaila olelo i na mea e 
ae.” Ua hoolohe no kana moopuna i ke kauoha a ke kupunawahine. 
A ia lakou ekolu ma kulana heenalu, aole kekahi leo i loheia iwaena 
o lakou. : 
I ke ku ana o ka nalu mua, olelo mai o Kekalukaluokewa, “ Pae 
kakou.” Ia manawa, hoomoe like lakou i na papa o lakou, make iho 
la o Halaaniani, pae aku laua la, oia ka manawa i laa ai ka ihu o 
Laieikawai ia Kekalukaluokewa, e like me ke kauoha a ke kupu- 
nawahine. 
Ekolu nalu o ka-hee ana o lakou, a ekolu no hoi ka pae ana o Laiei- 
kawai ma, ae kolu no hoi ka make ana o Halaaniani. 
I ka ha o ko laua nalu pae, akahi no a loaa ka ninau a Laieikawai 
ia Halaaniani, me ka i aku, “ Heaha kou mea e pae ole nei? Aha 
nalu, aole ou pae iki, heaha la ke kumu o kou pae ole ana?” 
“No ka maa ole i ka nalu pokopoko,” wahi a Halaaniani, no ka 
mea, he nalu loloa ko’u e hee ai.” 
Hai aku la keia e like me ke kauoha a kona kaikuahine. 
I ka lima o ka nalu, oia ka nalu pau loa o Laieikawai me Keka- 
lukaluokewa. 
Ta Kekalukaluokewa me Laieikawai i hoomaka ai e hoomoe aku i 
ka nalu, e hopu aku ana o Halaaniani ma na kapuai o Laieikawai, a 
lilo mai la ma kona lima, lilo aku la ka papa heenalu o Laieikawai, 
pae aku la nae o Kekalukaluokewa a kau a kahi maloo.
