                A hala o Suki i ke kula, hui na kanaka a lalau a hapai ae i ka elemakule, ia Paulo, a ae oia e lawe ia i kona home. A kii aku lakou i ke kahuna lapaau, a hele mai oia a nana a ike, ua eha loa o Paulo ma kekahi wawae, aole e ola koke ana, e paa ana i mau pule paha iloko o kona hale. Aole nae i ae oia e noho pu kekahi me ia, i ka manawa wale no e wahi ana lakou i kona eha, a pau ia, hoi lakou, a koe ka elemakule wale no.

                "Kahaha! he elemakule maka ino oia, makau paha oe ke hele oe hookahi wale no; i kokoolua nou," wahi a ka makua. Hoole o Suki, "aole o'u makau, aole hoi makemake i kokoolua, owau wale no ke hele." Ka ae no ia o ka makua, a hoopiha o Suki i kana hinai i na mea ono he nui a hele aku. I ka hookokoke ana aku i ka puka o ka hale, ane maule kona naau i ka makau, aka hele wiwo ole aku no oia i ka puka, a kikeke—aohe leo pane mai— kikeke hou aku no, aole he pane mai.

                Kaupono ka maka o Paulo ma ke kaikamahine no ka manawa pokole me ka pane ole aku. A mahope iho pane nunulu mai oia "Heaha ia ia oe? No ke aha kou hele ana mai?"
                "No ka mea ua kaumaha au no ka hana kolohe ana a na keiki ia oe, i keia kakahiaka, a no kou eha ana nohoi," wahi a Suki me ka haloiloi ana o na maka i na waimaka; "a no ka mea aole ou mea nana oe e aloha a malama, a hoopomaikai mai."
                "He oiaio no ia;" wahi a ka elemakule me ka olelo awahia.
                "Aka, e hiki no ia'u ke malama ia oe," wahi a Suki me ka leo aloha. "Nui kuu manao ana ia, oe, a me ko'u pule ana nou, a—a o Iesu kekahi, he manao nui kona ia oe, ae, akaka loa ia'u kona manao malama ia oe."
                Noho hakanu ka elemakule a loihi, a mabope pane malie iki mai oia, "O hoi oe, aole o'u makemake e noho hou mai oe maanei."
                Lawe o Suki i kona hinai a waiho imua o kona alo, a olelo, "ua lawe mai au i kekahi mau mea ai nau, no ka mea, he mea eha paha ia ia oe ke ala iluna." Alaila, huli ae oia e hoi aku, a ninau aku nae, "e hiki anei ia'u ke hele hou mai?" "He mea aha ia ia'u? aia ia oe ia," wahi a Paulo Olomana.
                Ka hoomaka keia o ko Suki hele ana i ka hale pepepe e ike ia Paulo ka elemakule, maka ino a oolea. He makau ole ke aloha.
