Olelo hou aku kahi kahu, “Kaheaia o Waka.”

LAIEIKAWAI:  “E Waka, e Waka—­e.”

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

LAIEIKAWAI:  “Eia la he ala, he ala okoa hoi keia, aole hoi i like me na ala mua iho nei, he ala maikai keia, he ala nohea, eia la i ka houpo i ka manawa o maua.”

WAKA:  “Aole na he ala e, o Mailepakaha aku la o ke 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, ina i kii mai kekahi mea e ia’u, aole no wau e ae ana!  Mai hoomoe hou oe ia’u ia Aiwohikupua.”

A lohe o Aiwohikupua, a me kona Kuhina i keia hoole hou ana o Laieikawai, i aku ua Kuhina nei ona, “E kuu Haku, pale ka pono! aohe pono i koe, hookahi no pono o ka hoi wale no koe o kakou; kaukai aku nei hoi ka pono i ko kaikuahine muli la hoi, i ole ae hoi ia lakou, ia’u aku la hoi, i lohe aku nei ka hana, e hoole loa ae ana no kela, me ka nuku maoli ae la no i ke kupunawahine; a eia nae hoi ka’u wahi olelo i koe ia oe, o ka olelo no auanei ka’u, o ka ae no kau.”

“E kii kaua ma o ke kupunawahine la,” wahi a ua Kuhina nei, “e noi aku ia ia, malia o ae mai kela.”

Olelo aku o Aiwohikupua, “Aole a kakou hana i koe, ua pau, eia wale no ka olelo i koe, o na kaikuahine o kaua, e noho lakou i ka nahelehele nei, no ka mea, aohe a lakou waiwai.”

Alaila, huli aku la o Aiwohikupua a olelo aku la i na kaikuahine, “E noho oukou, ua nele ae la no ka’u mea i makemake ai e lawe mai ia oukou, o ka nahele no nei noho iho.”  Ke hele aku nei e maamaama.

A pau ka Aiwohikupua olelo ana i na kaikuahine; kulou like iho la ke poo o na kaikuahine i kahi hookahi, e uwe ana.

Kaha aku la o Aiwohikupua ma iho, kahea aku la o Kahalaomapuana, ke kaikuahine muli loa, i aku la, “E laua la! ku iho, e lohe mua makou i Kauai, e lawe ana oe a haalele ia makou i keia wahi, i na aole makou e hiki mai.  Pono no la hoi ia, ina owau kekahi i kii aku nei ia Laieikawai, a nele ana la hoi, alaila, pono kau haalele ana ia’u, pau pu no o ka mea i hewa, a me ka mea hewa ole.  Aole oe he malihini ia’u, ia’u wale no e ko ai kau mau mea a pau.”

Kahea mai la o Aiwohikupua i ke kaikuahine opiopio, “Iho mai kaua, ou mau kaikuaana ke noho aku.”

“Aole wau e hiki aku,” wahi a kona kaikuahine opiopio, “aia a pau loa makou i ka hoi pu me oe, alaila, hoi aku au.”

A no keia olelo a kona kaikauhine opiopio, alaila i aku o Aiwohikupua, “O noho mamuli ou mau kaikuaana, a nau no e huli ae me ko mau kaikuaana i ka oukou wahi e hele ai, eia wau ke hoi nei.”

Huli aku la o Aiwohikupua ma e hoi, ia laua e hele ana ma ke ala, kani aku la ke oli a Mailehaiwale, penei:
