A pau na la o ka papaiawa ma Kauai, hoouna aku la ia i kona mau elele ia
Ulili laua me Akikeehiale, e holo aku e hai i ka olelo kauoha a ke Alii
imua o Poliahu.

Ma ko laua ano kino manu, ua lele koke laua a hiki Hinaikamalama la ma
Hana, a hiki laua, ninau aku i na ka maaina, "Auhea la ka wahine
hoopalau a ke Alii o Kauai."

"E i ae no," wahi a ma kamaaina.

A lohe ke Alii i keia olelo hope a na elele, manao ae la o Aiwohikupua i
keia mau olelo, aole ia i hiki i o Poliahu la, alaila, hoomaopopo aku la
o Aiwohikupua, "Pehea ka olua lele ana aku nei?"
