"He hoaloha hou ae no kekahi o makou, ka mea nana i kau i kekahi hoolaha mawaho o kona hale, me ka olelo ana, aole e hoopoino i na waiwai oloko, a o ka inoa o keia hoaloha oia o Tazana o na Mapu.

 

"Aole makou i ike iki iaia, ma koʻu manao nae, aia no oia iloko o ka ululaau kahi i noho ai, no ka mea, ma ka manawa @ kekahi o na luina i hoao mai ai e ki ia Mr. Kelekona me ka pu panapana, ua ku e mai la kona poohiwi i kekahi ihe, @ hooleleia mailoko mai o ka ululaau.

 

"Ua waiho mai no na kanaka okipuu he mau meaai na makou e hala ai kekahi mau la, a he hookahi a makou pu panapana me ekolu wale no poka i koe iloko, a no ko makou pono o keia mua aku, he mea pohihihi loa iaʻu ka hoike ana, maanei, aka nae wahi a Mr. Pilipo o ka olelo ana mai, ua hiki ia makou ke noho ma keia mokupuni no ka manawa @ me ka pilikia ole i ka ai, oiai ua nui na huaai oloko o ka ululaau ana i ike ai.

Jene Pota."

 

No kekahi manawa loihi, mahope iho o ko Tazana heluhelu ana i ka manao maloko o kela leka, aole e hiki iaia ke hoomaopopo i na mea apau, aka nae ma kekahi mau mea, ua loaa no ka manao iaia ; nolaila e hoea mai ana i ka manawa ana e hoike okoa aku ai imua o kela poe, oia no o Tazana o na Mapu, aole hoi he mea okoa aku, elike me ka leka a Jene Pota ana i heluhelu ai.

 

Ua kukulu no o Tazana he papaʻihale nona maluna o ke kumulaau, ana e hiamoe ai i ka po, ma ke olokeʻa ana i na laau, a uhi iho oluna me ka lau o na laau, a malalo o kela wahi i hoahu ai oia i kekahi mau mea ana i lawe mai ai mai@ mai o kona hale, o kekahi o kela mau waiwai, he mau penikaia.

Waiho malie aku la oia i kela leka me kana mau ukana e ae, a no na mea e pili ana i na meaai e pono ai kela poe, hooholo iho la oia, nana e hoolako i kela ame keia manawa.

 

Ma kekahi kakahiaka, he elua po mai ka manawa mai a Jene Pota o ke ala ana ae a ike, ua lilo kana leka i kekahi mea, ma ke ano pohihihi loa, ua ike hou aku la oia i ka waiho mai o kana leka, maluna o ke pakaukau me kona hoopiha loa ia mai i ka makaʻu ame ka weliweli, aʻiaia i wehe ae ai a nana aia hoi hikilele ae la oia, i ka ike ana iho, e kau ana ka inoa o Tazana o na Mapu, malalo pono o kona inoa ponoi.

 

Hoikeike okoa aku la oia i ua leka nei imua o Mr. Kelekona me ka i ana aku: "Ke hoomanao ae au, malia paha ua hakilo pono loa mai keia mea oiai au e kakau ana maluna o ke pakaukau i keia leka, ua hele au a piha me ka makaʻu."

 

"Heaha auanei kau mea e makaʻu ai, no ka mea ma koʻu manaoio, he hoaloha oia nou a no kakou no hoi apau ; o na hoike maopopo loa, no kona lilo i hoaloha, o ka mua, o ia no kona hoihoi hou ana mai i ko leka, a o ka lua, aʻu no e hooiaio nei oia ka mea nana ia hana, oia no kona lawe okoa ana mai a waiho i kekahi puaa na kakou mawaho nei o ka puka o ka hale."

 

No kela mau hoakaka a Mr. Kelekona, ua pau wale ae la no ka makaʻu o Jene Pota, no ka mea ana i ike mua ole ai, a i manao wale ai hoi he kanaka paha oia i like aku kona mau ano apau me ko ka mapu.

 

Mai kela manawa mai, aole kekahi la i nele i ka lawe mau mai o Tazana i mau meaai na keia poe ; i kekahi manawa he dia opiopio, i kekahi manawa no hoi he mau meaai i hoomoʻaia, o ia na meaai a na Paele i hoolako mau ai malalo o ke kumulaau na ke akua, ua pau mai ia Tazana i ka laweia na keia poe. O ka puaa no hoi, a i kekahi manawa he liona, a o na ano holoholona no apau e make ana iaia maloko o ka ululaau.

 

Me he mea la, iloko o ko Tazana ola ana iloko o kela mau la, he hana hauoli loa nana ka hele mau ana e pepehi i na holoholona ahiu, a lawe mai na kela poe, o ka mea oiaio no nae, aia ka hoohihi iloko ona, no ke kaikamahine opio, a no kona pono wale no, i lilo ai ka hana hahai holoholona iaia i hana hoihoi loa.

 

@ kekahi manawa e hoikeike okoa mai ana o Tazana iaia iho imua o na kanaka ekolu, me kona hooikaika nui ana, e hiki iaia ke kamailio, ma ka hoakaka ana i kona mau manao ma ke kakau, eia nae, aole e hiki i keia poe ke aʻo aku iaia, koe wale no o ka pane ana aku, ma ke kakau wale no, a ua lilo hoi keia i mea e hookaumahaia ai ko Tazana manao, no ka hikiʻole iaia ke kamailio i ka olelo a kona lahui ponoi.

 

No ke ano kamaaina ana aku o kela poe, ua lilo ka hele ana iloko o ka ululaau i hana makemake na lakou, o ka mea apiki nae, e hoaa mau ana ka Poropeka Pota ; o kahi wale no o kona pakele, o ia no ka makaala mau o Pilipo iaia.

 

He mahina okoa kela o ka hoohala ana o Jena Pota ame @ mau hoa, ma ko lakou home halihini, me ko lakou lako mau i na mea apau e loaa ai ke ala kupono ana i ko lakou mau kino ; ua hooholo iho la o Tazana i kekahi la, he mea pono iaia ke hele mai e hui pu me kona mau hoaloha hou, i ka wa ao.

 

Ma ka auwina la i hele okoa mai ai o Tazana no ka hui ana he alo a he alo me keia mau hoaloha, o kona manao nui no nae, e loaa he manawa pono e luana pu ai me ke kaikamahine opio ; ma ia auwina la hookahi no hoi, ua hala aku o Mr. Kelekona, no kekahi wahi kiekie, ma kela wahi i ku ai o ko lakou moku a hooleleia mai ai lakou iuka o ka aina, ua hoopuupuu oia i kekahi paila wahie a kiekie iluna, no ke kakali ana, in a no kona ike i ka maalo ae o kekahi moku i ka moana, alaila e ho a ana oia i kela paila wahie, wahi no ka poe oluna o ka moku, e ike mai ai, alaila holo mai no ka hoopakele ana ae ia lakou nei.

 

Ua hala aku no hoi ka Poropeka Pota ame Pilipo no ka aoao hema o ka aina, elike me ka laua hana mau o ka holoholo, a no Jene Pota hoi ame ke wahine Paele kauwa, ua hala aku laua i ko holoholo iloko o ka ululaau, no ka huli ana i mau huaai na lakou.

 

I kela hoea ana aku a Tazana no ka hale, he mehameha pu wale no, nolaila, ua hoohala iho la oia i kona manawa, ma ke kakau ana i kekahi leka na Jene Pota, he oki loa hoi kona noho wale iho no, a i ole hele aku paha e huli ia lakou.

 

Aole i maopopo iaia, e hiki ana paha iaia ke haawai aku i kana leka ia Jene Pota, aole paha, aka he hana hauoli no nae nana ke kakau ana i kona manao iluna o ka apana pepa, nolaila hoomaka aku la oia e kakau; a o keia iho kana leka.

 

"Owau no keia o Tazana o na Mapu. Ua makemake au ia oe; e lilo au nau, a pela hoi oe naʻu. Maanei kaua e noho pu ai maloko nei o kuu hale; a naʻu e lawe mau mai i na huaai ono loa o kela ame keia ano, e loaa ana iloko o ka ululaau; a i ono ae oe i na iʻo holoholona palupalu, he hana pokole loa iaʻu ka hooko ana aku i kou mau makemake apau. Owau hookahi wale no ka mea ikaika a kaulana iloko o ka ululaau, a ua makaukau hoi e hoopakele i kou ola, mai ka poe apau e hoopilikia mai ana ia oe.

I ka paa ana o kela leka i ke kakau, puka mai la ua o Tazana a ku iho la mamua o ka puka o ka hale, me ke au hele ana o kana nana ana aku i o a ia nei, no ka manao ke huli hoi mai la paha ka poe ana i makemake ai e ike ; iaia no nae e ku ana me ka pololei, ua lohe aku la oia i kekahi nakeke i hele a kamaaiana i kona mau pepeiao, hoomanao koke ae la oia, he mapu nui aia iluna o ke kumulaau kahi i hele ai.

 

Ke ku malie la no oia hoolohe i ka nakeke ia wa i hoopuiwaia mai ai oia i ka lohe ana aku i kekahi leo kapalili ; a elike me kekahi pua i oili ae mailoko aku o ke kakaka, pela iho la no o Tazana i hoomaka aku ai e holo me ka puahia nui, a no kona makemake e hoea koke aku iloko o ka ululaau, ua kiola aku la oia i ka leka ana i kakau ai, aia ka pono o ka hoea aku i kahi o ka leo kapalili, mamua ae o ka poino ana o ka mea nona kela leo.

 

O Mr. Kelekona kekahi i lohe i kela leo kapalili, pela hoi me kona mau hoa me ko lakou holo ana mai me ka mama a hoea i kahi i ku ai o ka hale, ia nana ana aku nae iloko, aole o Jene Pota ame ka wahine Paele ; nolaila hoomaka aku la lakou e holo noloko o ka ululaau, me ka hele hoi a piha me na manao pihoihoi, i huipu ia me ka hopohopo, malia ua halawai ke kaikamahine me kekahi poino.

"Owai ka mea nana i lawe aku nei i ko haku?" i komo mai ai ka Poropeka Pota ma ka ninau ana, i wahi e maopopo ae ai kahi i nalowale ai o kana kaikamahine.
