alaula. He is
banished for neglect of duty, crawls through a crack at Kawaluna at the
edge of the great ocean. The king treats him kindly, hence he returns
and gets his sister to be the king's wife. In her calabash, called
Kipapalaulu, she carries the moon for food and the stars for fish.

King Konikonia and Hinaaikamalama have 10 children, the youngest of
whom, the boy Maikoha, is found to be guilty of sacrilege and banished.
He goes to Kaupo and changes into the _wauke_ plant. His sisters coming
in search of him, land at Oahu and turn into fish ponds--Kaihuopalaai
into Kapapaapuhi pond at Ewa; Kaihukoa into Kaena at Waianae; Kawailoa
into Ihukoko at Waialua, and Ihukuuna into Laniloa at Laie. Kaneaukai,
their brother, comes to look for them in the form of a log. It drifts
ashore at Kealia, Waialua, changes into a man, and becomes fish god for
two old men at Kapaeloa.[1]

[Footnote 1: The rock called Kaneaukai, "Man-floating-on-the-sea," on
the shore below Waimea, Oahu, is still worshiped with offerings. The
local story tells how two old men fish up the same rock three times.
Then they say, "It is a god," and, in spite of the weight of the rock,
carry it inshore and place it where it now stands and make it their fish
god. Thrum tells this, story, p. 250.]

3. KAULU

Kukaohialaka and Hinauluohia live in Kailua, Oahu, with their two sons,
Kaeha and Kamano. A third, Kaulu, remains five years unborn because he
has heard Kamano threaten to kill him. Then he is born in the shape of a
rope, and Kaeho puts him on an upper shelf until he grows into a boy.
Meanwhile Kaeha is carried away by spirits to Lewanuu and Lewalani where
Kane and Kanaloa live, and Kaulu goes in search of him. On the way he
defeats and breaks into bits the opposing surfs and the dog Kuililoloa,
hence surf and dogs remain small. In the spirit land he fools the
spirits, then visits the land where their food is raised, Monowaikeoo,
guarded by Uweleki and Uweleka, Maaleka, and Maalaki. He fools these
guards into promising him all he can eat, and devours everything, even
obscuring the rays of the sun. In revenge the shark Kukamaulunuiakea
swallows his brother. Kaulu drinks the sea dry in search for him,
catches a thunder rock on his _poi_ finger, and forces Makalii to tell
him where Kaeho is. Then he spits out the sea and this is why the sea is
salt. The dead shark becomes the milky way. The brothers return to Oahu,
and Kaulu kills Haumea, a femal
