LAIEIKAWAI:  “Ka! aole au e moe ia ia.”

I aku la o Aiwohikupua i ua wahi Kuhina nei ona, “E! ke lohe pono aku la oe i ka hoole ana ae la a ke Alii wahine.”

“Ae, ua loke, heaha la auanei ko ia hoole ana ae la, o ko laua aala no kai makemake oleia ae la, malia hoi o ae ia Mailelaulii.”

“Hoopaa no hoi oe,” wahi a Aiwohikupua, “kainoa ua hai mua iho nei wau ia oe i ko’u manao e hoi kakou, eia kau he hoololohe, hoololohe iho la oe la, aeia mai la.”

“Aole ka hoi i pau na kaikuahine o kaua, alua i hala, ekolu i koe,” wahi a kona Kuhina, “kuuia aku paha i pau, he nani ia, ua pau na kaikuahine o kaua i ke kii, wikiwiki auanei hoi paha oe e hoi, a hiki kakou i kai o Keaau, olelo kakou no ka loaa ole, e olelo ae auanei ka poe kaikuahine ou i koe; ina no ia makou ka olelo ana mai e kii, ina no ua ae mai o Laieikawai, aia la, loaa ka lakou mea e kamailio ai, kuuia aku i pau.”

“Auhea oe e kuu Kuhina,” wahi a Aiwohikupua, “aole o oe ke hilahila ana, owau no, ina e like ana ka manao o ka moopuna me ko Waka la, ina ua pono.”

“Kuuia aku paha i ka hilahila,” wahi a kona Kuhina, “kainoa ua ike no oe, he waa naha i kooka ko kaua ko ke kane, a hoole mai aunei ia nawai e olelo kana hoole ana, kainoa o kakou wale no kai lohe, hoaoia’ku paha o Mailelaulii.”

A no ka ikaika loa o ua wahi Kuhina nei ona i ke koi, hooholo ke Alii i ka ae.

Hele aku la o Mailelaulii a kupono i ka puka o ka Halealii, kuu aku ana oia i kona aala e like me na mea mua, hikilele hou mai la o Laieikawai mai ka hiamoe, a olelo aku la i kahi kahu, “He wahi ala okoa wale no hoi keia, aole hoi e like me kela mau mea mua.”

I mai la kahi kahu, “Kaheaia o Waka.”

LAIEIKAWAI:  “E Waka, e Waka—­e.”

WAKA:  “E—­o, heaha la kau o ka po e ala nei?”

LAIEIKAWAI:  “Eia la he ala, he ala e wale no keia, he ala anuanu, he ala huihui, eia la i ka houpo i ka manawa o maua.”

WAKA:  “Aole na he ala e, o Mailelaulii aku la na o na kaikuahine aala o Aiwohikupua, i kii mai la ia oe i wahine oe i kane ia, o ke kane ia moeia.”

LAIEIKAWAI:  “Ka! aole au e moe ia ia.”

“I hookahi no hoi hoole ana o ka pono,” wahi a Aiwohikupua, “o ka hele ka ia he kauna wale ae no koe o ka hoole, makena no hoi ua hilahila ia oe e ke hoa.”

“Kuuia aku paha i ka hilahila,” wahi a kona Kuhina, “a i ole e loaa i na kaikuahine o kaua, alaila, na’u e kii a loaa iloko o ka hale, a olelo aku wau e lawe ia oe i kane hoao nana e like me kou makemake.”

A no keia olelo a kona Kuhina, alaila, ua hoopihaia ko ke Alii naau i ka olioli, no ka mea, ua lohe kela ia Kauakahialii i ka loaa ana i ua wahi kanaka nei o Laieikawai, i hiki ai i kai o Keaau.

Ia manawa, kena koke ae la o Aiwohikupua ia Mailepakaha, hele aku la a ku ma ka puka o ka Halealii; kuu aku la i kona aala, a hikilele mai la ko Laieikawai hiamoe, honi hou ana no i ke ala.  I hou aku keia i kahi kahu, “Eia hou no keia ala, he wahi ala nohea hoi keia.”
