"Akahi mai la no au a hoomanao," wahi a Mr. Wokina, oiai ala mai la iloko on a ka hoomanao ana, no na olelo a Laulani i kamailio aku ai iaia, ma kela manawa ana i hoea aku ai imua on a, maloko o ka hale banako , i ka wa a Kauwila i hele aku ai no ke noi ana i hana nana.

I ka pau ana o na kamailio mawaena o Wokina me Laulani, ia wa i huli hou mai ai o Wokina ia Kanani.  a ninau mai la no Alika, ka hehe a Kanani, me ka nalu nui ana no nae iloko on a, i ka hana nui a keia wahine opio o ka hoea ana aku e ike iaia ma kela po.

No kela ka-ua a Kanani ia Laulani, noho hou iho la oia ilalo.  me kona noonoo ana iho, aia no ka hilinai o Kanani maluna on a, aole i lilo kona mare ana aku i ke kanaka okoa i kumu e hoopoina ai oia no kona hoaloha o na la kamalii.

"Ke hoomanao nei no oe e Mr. Wokina, i ke kuai hooliloia ana aku o na lako hoonani apau loko o kuu home."  i hoomaka aku ai o Kanani e kamailio, me ke kunou ana mai no hoi o Wokina, e hoike mai ana i ka maopopo ana iaia o na mea apau e pili ana i ke kuai i hanaia.

"Aa ma kahi o ka elua kaukani dala a oi aku, i loaa mai iaʻu, ua oi loa aku keia mamua o kaʻu mea i manao ai, eia nae aole no i hoea aku i kahi o ke kumulilo i kinohi uo kela mau waiwai apau.

"Aole e hiki iaʻu ke lawe mai i hookahi keneka o keia mau dala e Mrs. Kauwila,"  i pane mai ai o Mr. Wokina.  "E lawe oe i kena dala a hookomo aku maloko o ka hanako, no kou pono ame ka oono o kau kaikamahine, elike me kaʻu i aʻo mua aku ai ia oe.  O na hana apau a kau kane i lawelawe ai, a i hookomo aku ai iaia iho iloko o ka poina, aole loa he wahi lihi kuleana iki ma kou aoao, e lawe mai ai i ke koʻikoʻi o ka uku hou ana mai i na dala i pau iaia ; o kaʻu wale no e nana aku nei.  o ia no ka loaa o ka palekana ia oe ame kau kaikamahine, me ko olua noho ana aku, mailoko mai o ka nele ame ka hune."

"Auhea oe e Mr. Wokina, ua paa loa kuu manao e haawi aku i keia mau dala no ka uku ana i ka aie o kuu kane ; no kau moa e olelo mai nei.  e hookomoaku i keia mau dala ma kekahi wahi ma koʻu inoa, ke hoole loa aku nei au ma na ano apau.  O koʻu lawe ana mai i keia mau dala, a hoolilo aku no koʻu pono ame kaʻu kaikamahine, ua ku-e loa ia i koʻu lunaikehala maikai, no ka mea, aole e hiki iaʻu ke hoolilo aku i na dala, i loaa mai ma ke ano maikai ole.

"Ua kamaaina oe e Laulani i koʻu mau ano, e kokua mai oe iaʻu, ma ka olelo ana aku imua o Mr. Wokina.  aole e hiki iaʻu ke lawe mai i hookahi keneka o keia mau dala, a hoolilo aku no na mea e pono ai au.  Ua noho hana aku kuu kane, maloko o ka hale banako. i noho on a ia e Mr. Wokina, ua kumakaia oia i ka hilinai i hookauia aku maluna on a e kona mau haku.  ua lawe ae la i kekahi huina dala mahuahua.  ma ke ano aihue mai ka banako mai a holo mahuka aku la.  Aole e hiki iaʻu ke hooia ae i keia manawa, no ka hiki iaʻu ke hoihoi aku i ka huina dala holookoa.  a kuu kane i lawe ai.  aka o ka mea nae i loaa iaʻu i keia wa, o kaʻu ia e haawi aku nei.  Ua hiki ia olua ke ino e ae a olua i manao ai, ua kupono iaʻu.  aole nae au e ae ana e hoohaahaa iaʻu iho ma ka lawe ana mai i keia mau dala.  mee kuu ike no.  aole he pono a he pololei o ia hana."

Aole o Laulani i hoakaka ae i kona manao, elike me ka Kanani i ui aku ai imua on a, no ke kokua ana mai.  aka kaa e mai la no ma ka aoao o Mr. Wokina ke kamailio ana, ma ka ninau ana mai ia Kanani:

"I kou haawi ana mai i keia mau dala iaʻu.  ua maopopo no anei ia oe kau mea e hana aku ai?  Pehea e hiki ai ia oe ke malama ia oe iho ame kau kaikamahine?"

"He hookahi wale no aʻu mea i hooholo ai.  o ia ka hele ana i ka hana.  ke loaa mai he hana naʻu;  malia o lilo oe e Mr. Wokina, i mea nana e hooikaika aku ma ka huli ana i kekahi hana kupono.  E kala mai nae oe iaʻu e Mr. Wokina no keia hooili ana aku la oʻu i ke koʻikoʻi maluna ou, no ke kokua ana mai iaʻu.  mahope iho o ka hana ana aku o kuu kane.  i kekahi hana e hiki ole ai ke hilinai hou ia aku oia ama kona ohana."

"E hoao oe e Mrs. Kauwila e hoopoina i na mea i hanaia e kau kane, aole e lilo kana mea i hana ai.  i pali nui nana e alai mai i na manao maikai mawaena oʻu ame oe "i pane hou aku ai o Mr. Wokina, me ka leo oluolu:  "Ma koʻu aoao.  ke hooia aku nei au, e haawi no au i na kokua apau e hiki ana iaʻu, no kou pono, no ka mea iwaena o na kaukani o na kaukani o na wahine ma ka homua nei, he kakaikahi loa na wahine i like ka oiaio, ka hoopono ame ka makee i ko lakou kulana elike me oe.  Ma ke ano nae he mau hoaloha, e oluolu oe e pane mai i keia ninau :  Ua lawa no anei oe me na dala no ke kokua ana mai ia oe ame kau kaikamahine ?"
