            Aole o Simona Kaapuni, I lawe mai I na olelo a Mrs. Kewiki, ma kea no he mau olelo waiwai ia, aka iaia I haalele aku ai I ka hale hoolimalima, hele pololei aku la oia no ka halepule, oiai he la Sabati ia, a I kona komo ana aku iloko, o ka Manawa ia I ku ae ai o ka papa himeni iluna, no ke mele ana mai I ka himeni wehe o ke anaina pule nui.

            Nihi aku la kana komo ana iloko, ahiki I kona ku ana ma kekahi noho, mahope pono o kekahi pou nui.

            Iloko o ka Manawa e malamaia ana ke anaina haipule, ma ka hoomaopopo aku a Simona Kaapuni, aole he nana iki o kela wahine I ke kahuna pule maluna o ka awai, aka aia wale no kona mau maka maluna o Keoni Naika, e noho ana mamua o ka okana, a no kela ano ililo ai I mea na Simona Kaapuni e noonoo nui ai.

            O ka hele hoi ia ahiki I ka wa e kokoke ai e hookuu ke anaina pule, ua ku ae la ua wahine nei iluna, a hele mai la no ka puka o ka luakini, me he mea la, aole paha ona makemake e halawai pu me ka poe o ka halepule, a I ua wahine nei nae, I kaalo ae ai, ma kahi o Simona Kaapuni e noho ana, ua hihia mai la kekahi kihi o kona kihei I ke pihi o ke kuka o Mr. Kaapuni, a ia wa I awiwi mai ai o Mr. Kaapuni I ke kamailio ana:

            “Mai noonoo oe no keia mea,” I pane mai ai ka wahine lihini, a e anehe aku ana aoi e hele, ua pane hou aku la no o Mr. Kaapuni I ka I ana aku:

            “Me he mea la akahi no au a ike ia oe maloko nei o kahalepule. Aole anei ou manao, he keu aku ka maikai o na himeni o ka papa himeni I keia kakahiaka?”

            “Ae, ua nui ko ʻ u mahalo no na himeni I meleia mai nei.” Wahi a ka wahine malihini, me ka alaalawa ana ae o kana nana ana mao a maanei.

            “O ko mkou papa himeni kekahi papa himeni maikai loa. A o ke kanaka nana e hookani nei I ka okana, oia kekahi o na kanaka I hele a lehia ma ke a ʻ o ana I na himeni maikai,” wahi hou a Mr. Kaapuni, me ka hoao ana mai, e loaa aku iaia ka ike maopopo ana I ka helehelena o kela wahine, maloko aku o ka uhimaka eleele.

            Aole he pane mai o kela wahine, aka kunou wale mai la no oia, a ke ike la o Mr. Kaapuni, I ka haalulu o kekahi lima, aka no ka makemake no o Mr. Kaapuni e hooloihi aku I kana kamailio ana me keia wahine, pane hou aku la oia:

            “He hookahi a ʻ u mea e minamina nui nei, o ia no ka hiki hou ole ia makou ke paa iho I kela kanaka hookani okana, a e lilo ana I hana paakiki na ka ekalesia, ka huli ana aku I kekahi pani kupono ma kona wahi.

            “Aole he maikai o ke ola kino o kela kanaka I keia Manawa, a malia paha ua lohe wale no oe no kela karaima nana I hoopioloke I ka manao o na kanaka o keia wahi, I kela kau hooilo aku nei? O kana keiki hanauna, ka mea I pepehiia a ua lilo kela make ana, I kumu hookaumaha loa mai iaia, aka nae aole paha keia he mau olelo kupono a ʻ u e kamailio aku ai imua ou e ka lede; e huikala mai no nae oe I ka elemakule, aole a ʻ u hoapaapa hou ana iho ia oe.”

            Hakalia no a pau kela mau olelo a Mr. Kaapuni, o ka hemo mai la no ia o ka wahine malihini, me ka nana hou ole aku ihope, ina nei no kona nana aku, ina e loaa ana iaia ka ike, no ka haalele pu ana akuo Simona Kaapuni ialoko o ka halepule, a ukali mai la mahope ona.

            Aole he manao ukali maoli ko Simona Kaapuni I kela wahine, aka he makemake wale no kona e hele holoholo eia nae ua loaa mai iaia kekahi mea ano nui ma ia hana ana pela he mea hoi e holopono ai kekahi hana I waihoia aku iloko o kona lima.

            Ke hele la ka wahine malihini mamua, ahiki I ka huli ana ae ma ka aoao komohana o ka luakini, a nalowale aku la mai kona ike ana aku iaia; a I ka hoea ana aku o ua o Simona Kaapuni ma ke kihi o ka halepule, ike aku la oia I ua wahine nei, e ku ana mamua pono o ka pulea, e iho aku ai ilalo, o na luapao o na kino make, me ke kulou ana o kona poo ilalo, me he mea la, aia maloko o kela wahi, kekahi mea ano nui a kela wahine I makemake loa ai e ike.
