i ka hale o ua kaikamahine la me ko ike oleia mai, i eha la
au e makai aku ai, a ike oe i kana hana mau, alaila, hoi mai oe a hai
mai ia'u, alaila, na'u e hoouna aku ia oe e hoowalewale i ua kaikamahine
la. Aole e loaa ia'u ma kuu mana, no ka mea, elua laua."

A no keia olelo a Malio, hele aku la o Halaaniani e hoohalua mau mawaho
o ko Laielohelohe hale me kona ike oleia mai, kokoke alua anahulu kona
hookalua ana, alaila, ike oia i ka Laielohelohe hana, he kui lehua.
Hoomau pinepine aku la oia a nui na la, aia no oia e hoomau ana i kana
hana he kui lehua.

Hoi aku la o Halaaniani e halawai me ke kaikuahine e like me kana
kauoha, a hai aku la i na mea ana i ike ai no Laielohelohe.

A lohe o Malio i keia mau mea, alaila, hai aku la oia i na mea hiki ke
hanaia aku no Laielohelohe e kona kaikunane, me ka i aku ia Halaaniani,
"E hoi oe a ma ka waenakonu o ka po, alaila, pii mai oe i o'u nei, i
hele aku ai kaua ma kahi o Laielohelohe."

Hoi aku la o Halaaniani, a kokoke i ka manawa i kauo haia nona, alaila,
ala mai la oia a halawai me kona kaikuahine. Lalau ae la kona kaikuahine
i ka pu la-i, a hele aku la me kona kaikunane, a kokoke aku la laua ma
kahi a Laielohelohe e kui lehua mau ai.

Ia manawa, olelo aku la o Malio ia Halaaniani, "E pii oe maluna o kekahi
laau, ma kahi ou e ike aku ana ia Laielohelohe, a malaila oe e noho ai.
E hoolohe mai oe i ke kani aku a kuu pu la-i, elima a'u puhi ana, ina ua
ike oe e a-u ana kona maka i kahi i kani aku ai ka pu la-i, alaila ka
hoi loaa ia kaua, aka hoi, i aluli ole ae kona mau maka i kuu hookani
aku, alaila, aole e loaa ia kaua i keia la."

Ia laua no e kamailio ana no keia mau mea, uina mai ana kahi a ua o
Laielohelohe e kui lehua ai, i nana aku ka hana o laua, o Laielohelohe e
haihai lehua ana.

Ia manawa, pii ae la o Halaaniani ma kekahi kumu laau a nana aku la. Ia
ianei maluna o ka laau, kani ana ka pu la-i a Malio, kani hou aku la o
ka lua ia, pela a hiki i ka lima o ke kani ana o ka pu la-i, aole o
Halaaniani i ike iki ua huli ae ka maka a hoolohe i keia mea kani.

Kali mai la o Malio o ka hoi aku o Halaaniani e hai aku i kana mea i ike

ka pu la-i elima hookani ana, aole no i ike iki o Halaaniani i ka nana o
Laielohelohe i keia mea, a hoi wale no.

Hoi aku la o Halaaniani a kamailio aku i kona kaikuahine, i mai la kona
kaikuahine, "Loaa ole ae la ia kaua i ka pu la-i, i kuu hano aku ia
loaa?"
