ike ai.

Ninau mai la ke kupunawahine, "Ua makemake oe i ko kane?"

"Ae," wahi a Laieikawai.

I mai o Waka, "Apopo, ma ka puka ana o ka la, oia ka wa e a-u ai o
Kekalukaluokewa i ka heenalu oia wale, ia manawa, e hoouhi aku ai wau i
ka noe maluna o ka aina a puni o Puna nei, a maloko oia noe, e hoouna
aku no wau ia oe maluna o na manu a hui olua me Kekalukaluokewa me ka
ike oleia, aia a pau ka uhi ana o ka noe maluna o ka aina, ia manawa e
ike aku ai na mea a pau, o oe kekahi me Kekalukaluokewa e hee mai ana i
ka nalu hookahi, oia ka manawa e loaa'i ko ihu i ke keiki Kauai.
Nolaila, i kou puka ana mailoko aku nei o kou hale, aole oe e kamailio
iki aku i kekahi mea e ae, aole i kekahi kane, aole hoi i kekahi wahine,
aia a laa ko ihu ia, Kekalukaluokewa, oia kou manawa e kamailio ai me na

kane a loko o ko olua hale, alaila, e hoolaaia ko kino e like me ko'u
makemake."

A pau keia mau mea i ka haiia ia Laieikawai, hoi aku la oia ma kona
Halealii, oia a me kona kahu.

Ia Laieikawai me kona kahu ma ka hale, mahope iho o ke kauoha ana a kona
kupunawahine. Hoouna ae la oia i kona kahu e kii aku ia Mailehaiwale,
Mailekaluhea, Mailelaulii, Mailepakaha, a me Kahalaomapuana, kona mau
hoa kuka e like me ka lakou hoohiki ana.

A hiki mai la kona mau hoa kuka, kona mau kiai kino hoi, olelo aku la o
Laieikawai, "Auhea oukou e o'u mau hoa, ua kuka ae nei au me ke
kupunawahine o kakou, e hoao wau i kane na'u, nolaila wau i houna aku
nei i ko kakou kahu e kii aku ia oukou e like me ka kakou hoohiki ana,
mahope iho o ko kakou hui ana maanei. O ka makemake o ko kakou
kupunawahine, o Kekalukaluokewa kuu kane, a pehea? Aia i ka kakou
hooholo like ana, ina i ae mai oukou, ua pono no, ina e hoole mai, aia
no ia i ko kakou manao."

Olelo aku o Kahalaomapuana, "Ua pono, ua hoomoe ae la no ko kakou
kupunawahine e like me kona makemake, aohe a makou olelo. Eia nae, a i
hoao oe i ke kane, mai haalele oe ia makou e like me ka kakou hoohiki
ana; ma kau wahi e hele ai, malaila pu kakou, o oe i ka pilikia, o kakou
pu ilaila."

"Aole wau e haalele ia oukou," wahi a Laieikawai.

Eia hoi, ua ike mua ae nei kakou ma na Mokuna mua, he mea mau no ia
Laieikawai ka iho i kai o Keaau, ma ka moolelo o Hauailiki, a me ka
moolelo o ka hele alua ana o Aiwohikupua i Hawaii, a oia mau no a hiki i
ko Kekalukaluokew
