I na manawa a pau o ko Laieikawai hele ana ma Keaau, he mea mau i keia
keiki ia Halaaniani ka ike ia Laieikawai ma Keaau, me ka ike ole nae o
Halaaniani i kahi e hele mai ai o Laieikawai; mai ia manawa mai ka
hoomaka ana o ka manao ino e ake e loaa o Laieikawai, aole nae e hiki,
no ka mea, ua alaila mai e ka hilahila, a hiki ole ke pane aku.

A o ua Halaaniani nei, ke kaikunane o Malio, he keiki kaulana ia ma Puna
no ke kanaka ui, he keiki _koaka_, nae.

I ka eha o na la hoomalu o Laieikawai, he mea hoohuoi ia Halaaniani ka
nalo ana o Laieikawai, aole i hiki hou ma Keaau.

Ia Halaaniani i hookokoke mai ai ma kahi o na kamaaina o Keaau, lohe iho
la oia, e lilo ana ua Laieikawai nei ia Kekalukaluokewa.

Ia manawa, hoi wikiwiki aku la oia e halawai me kona kaikuahine me
Malio.

Olelo aku la kona kaikunane, "E Malio, i pii mai nei wau ia oe e kii oe
i ko'u makemake. No ka mea, i na la a pau a'u e nalo nei, ma Keaau no
wau, no ko'u ike mau i keia wahine maikai, nolaila, ua hookonokonoia mai
wau e ke kuko e hele pinepine e ike i ua wahine nei. A ma keia la, ua
lohe aku nei wau e lilo ana i ke Alii o Kauai i ka la apopo; nolaila, o
ko mana a pau maluna iho ia o kaua like e lilo ia'u kela kaikamahine."

I mai la kona kaikuahine, "Aole na he wahine e, o ka moopuna na a Waka,
o Laieikawai, ua haawi ae la ke kupunawahine i ke Alii nui o Kauai, popo
hoao. Nolaila, a e like me kou makemake, e hoi nae oe a kou wahi, a ma
ke ahiahi poeleele pii hou mai, a mauka nei kaua e moe ai, oia ka manawa
o kaua e ike ai i ko nele a me ka loaa."

Mamuli o ke kauoha o Malio i kona kaikunane, hoi mai la o Halaaniani a
ma kona hale noho ma Kula.

A hiki i ka manawa i kauohaia nona e hele aku i kahi o kona kaikuahine.

Mamua o ko laua manawa hiamoe, olelo aku la o Malio ia Halaaniani, "Ina
e moe kaua i keia po, a i loaa ia oe ka moeuhane, alaila, hai mai oe
ia'u, a pela no hoi wau."

Ia laua e moe ana, a hiki paha i ka pili o ke ao, ala ae la o
Halaaniani, aole i loaa he moe ia ia, a ala mai la no hoi o Malio ia
manawa no.
