T kela manawa i lilo aku ai o Laieikawai ma ka lima o Halaaniani, 
olelo aku la ia Halaaniani, “ He mea kupanaha, ia oe no ka pae ole 
ana wau, a lilo aku Ja ko’u papa.” 
I aku o Halaaniani, “ He lilo no ka papa ou o ka wahine maikai, 
ne kanaka ka mea nana e lawe mai.” 
Ta laua no e olelo ana no keia mau mea, laweia mai la ka papa 
heenalu o Laieikawai a hiki i kahi o laua e ku ana. 
I aku o Laieikawai ia Halaaniani, “Auhea kau nalu o kau aua ana 
iho nei ia’u?” 
A no ka ninau a ke Alii wahine, au aku la lana, ia manawa a laua 
e au ana, hai aku la o Halaaniani i kana olelo imua o ke Alii wahine, 
* Ma keia au ana a kaua, mai alawa oe 1 hope, imua no na maka, aia 
no ia’u kulana nalu, alaila hai aku au ia oe.” 
Au aku la laua a liuliu loa komo mai la iloko o Laieikawai ka 
haohao; ia manawa, pane aku oia, “ Haohao_ka nalu au e ke kane, ke 
au aku nei kaua i kahi o ka nalu ole, eia kaua i ka moana lewa loa, 
ke hai ka nalu i keia wahi, he mea kupanaha, he ale ka mea loaa i ka 
moana loa.” 
IT aku o Halaaniani, “FE hoolohe pono loa oe, ma ka’u olelo mua 
ia oe malaila wale no kaua.” 
Hoolohe aku la no o Laieikawai ma na olelo a kona hoa heenalu. 
Ta au ana a Jaua a hiki i kahi a Halaaniani e manao ai o kulana 
nalu ia, alaila, olelo aku la o Halaaniani i kona hoa heenalu, “ Nana 
ia o uka.” 
Pane aku o Laieikawai, “ Ua nalo ka aina, ua hele mai nei o Kumu- 
kahi a onioni i ka ale.” 
“O kulana nalu keia,” wahi a Halaaniani, “Ke olelo aku nei au 
la oe, ina i haki ka nalu mua, aole kaua e pae ia nalu, ai ka lua o ka 
nalu aole no e pae, ai ke kolu o ka nalu, o ka nalu ia o kaua e pae 
al. I haki ka nalu, ai kakala, a i oia oe, mai haalele oe i ka papa o 
ka mea no ia nana e hoolana; ina e haalele oe i ka papa, alaila aole oe 
e ike ia’u.” 
A pau ka laua kamailio ana no keia mau olelo, pule aku la o 
Halaaniani i ko laua akua ma ka inoa o kona kaikuahine e like me ka 
Malio kauoha mua. 
Pule aku la o Halaaniani a hiki i ka hapalua o ka manawa; ku ana 
ua nalu, hoomau aku la oia i ka pule a hikii ka Amama ana. Ku 
hou ana ua nalu, o ka lua ia, aole i upuupu iho, opuu ana kahj nalu. 
Ta wa kahea mai o Halaaniani i kona hoa, “ Pae kaua.” 
Ta manawa, hoomoe koke o Laieikawai i ka papa, o ka pae aku la 
no ia, ma ke kokua aku o Halaaniani.
