Ua like kekahi ano o ka Zebera me ko ka Lio. Ua like ka heluna o kona mau niho, a ua poepoe ka maiuu o kona mau wawae, aole hoi i maheleia, ua like no me ko ka iio. O ka Zebera, o ka lio, ua nui ka lio O ka Zebera o ka hoki, ua nui ka Zebera. Ua olenalena ke oho o ka Zebera, a he onionio eleele nae. Ua kaawale ka olenalena, a me ka eleele. Nolaila ua like me ka mea i penaia. Ua like kekahi mau helehelena ona me ko ka lio, a me ko ka hoki kekahi. O kona kino a me kona uha, ualike me ko ka lio, a o ka ai, a me ke poo, ua like me ko ka hoki. He poepoe

maikai kona kino, a ikaika maikai kona mau wawae e like me ko ka lio. Aole holoholona i oi aku kona maikai mamua o ko ka Zebera, ke nana aku. O ka onionio, oia ka maikai loa. Pokole makalii loa kona oho, aua hinuhinu. Ua onionio kona kino a pau, he eleele, a he olenalena, o ke kino, o ka ai, o ke poo, o ka maka, o na pepeiao, nolaila, i ka ike ana aku, ua like ia me ka mea i hoonaniia i ka ribine. Ua loaa ia holoholona ma na ululaau nui ma Aferika; aole i loaa ma Asia, a ma Europa, a ma Amerika. Ma na ululaau, kahi a ia lio e noho ai, ua hihiu loa ia, a no kona mama, loaa ole ia e na lio Arabia a pau.

Makemake loa lakou e noho pu a hele pu, he ohana nui, nolaila, ua nui loa lakou i ikeia ma kahi hookahi. I ka wa e ai ai kekahi mau mea, kiai no kekahi mau mea, o hiki mai auanei ka enemi, he kanaka paha, o ka ilio paha. Ina ike mai ka poe kiai i ke kanaka, a i ka ilio huhu paha, alaila hoike koke akula lakou i ka poe e ai ana: alaila, holo nui lakou, a no ko lakou mama, aole loaa iki lakou i kekahi holoholona. No ka hihiu o ka Zebera aolo ia i hoolaka loa ia, no ka mea, ina i paa i kona wa uuku, hoowahawaha no ia i ka e hoohana mai ia ia. Ina i malama pio ia oia i na makahiki he nui loa, a hanai mau ia i ka lima o ke

Ma kona wahi ua hakalia loa ka loaa ana o keia lio. No kona hihiu a me kona akamai, aole ia e loaa i ka hoowalewale, a no kona mama aole loaa i ka hahai ana. Nolaila aole i loaa pinepine ka Zerera nui. I ka wa uuku, hahai ka poe hahai, a hoomanawanui loa, a pomaikai ke loaa, no ka mea, he lio kuai nui loa ia lio. A e kuai nui loa no hoi kona ili, no ka maikai, a no ka mea, aole i loaa pinepine. Ua manao nui loa ia ia lio, i mea hoike; a nolaila ke kuai nui, i mea hoike aku i kanaka. O ka onionio o ka Zebcra, oia kona mea like ole loa me ka lio. A he okoa no kekahi helehelena ona, okoa ko ka lio. Ua nui ka lio, a ua oi aku ka maikai o kona ai, a me kona poo, a me kona mau pepeiao mamua o ko ka Zebera. He mama ka Zebera, he lohi ka lio. He lokomaikai nae ka lio, a oluolu ia ke lawe i ke kanaka ma kona kua. Ina i ee ke kanaka maluna o ka Zebera, o kona pii no ia, a holo ino, i haule ke kanaka. E hoomanawanui no ka lio ma na hana a pau a ke kahu e haawi aku ai ia ia. Aka, o ka Zebera, aole hiki ke hoolaka ia ia, no kona huhu loa. Ma ka onionio maikai o kona ili, ua oi aku ka maikai o ka Zebera mamua o na holoholona a pau. He onionio like, a maikai wale no. I noonoo kakou i ka mooolelo no na holoholona a pau, maopopo no ko ke Akua lokomaikai. Ua hooneleia kekahi holoholona i ka mea i loaa mai i kekahi. O ka Elepani, ina kiiia mai oia, aole ia i mama, aole hiki ke holo a pakele, nolaila, ua haawiia mai kona nuku i i mea e pale aku ai i ka hewa. He pepeiaohao ko ka Laehaokela, a me ka Bufalo a me ka Bipi, i mea e pale aku ai i ka hewa. He maiuu oioi ko ka liona, a me ke Tiga, a he mau kui kekahi. Oia ko laua mau mea eha, e pale aku ai i ka hewa, a oia no hoi na mea e loaa ai ka laua ai. O ka Zebera, aole ona pepeiaohao, aole kui, aole oioi kona maiuu, i mea e pale aku ai i ka hewa, aka, no kona mama, e hiki ia ia ke holo, a pakele, aole loa e loaa e kekahi ilio hae. Nolaila, e mahalo kakou i lokomaikai o ke Akua, i kona haawi ana i na holoholona a pau ana i hana'i, i na mea e pono ai, i mea hoi e pakele ai lakou i ka hewa.
