O Mr. Makuaia ka mea nana i pepehi iaia a make."

            "Pela i'o anei ka mea oiaio?"

            "Ea, he mea hookahaha maoli keia i ko'u manao, ka lilo an@ o Mr. Makuaia he mea pepehikanaka!"

            "O keia ka mea oiaio a'u e kamailio aku nei ia oe, nolaila e ike iho oe e Nikola i ke ano maoli o kou haku hana. Nolaila me keia mau mea au i lohe aku la, e ike iho ana no oe, i ke kumu o kona maka'u loa, i na manawa apau a'u e hoea mai ai; ua lilo oia he pio na'u, e hiki ole ai i ko haku, ke hoole mai i ko'u mau makemake apau."

            "E hiki ana anei ia oe ke hooiaio mai, no kona lilo ana i mea hana karaima?"

            Haha ae la kekahi lima o Haka Kenede ma kona auwao, me ka pane ana mai: "He hana maalahi loa ia a'u e hana ai aka aole nae o'u makemake e hoopilikia wale aku iaia, ke hooko mau mai no oia i ko'u mau makemake apau.
