Elua mau kale makeke nui loa olaila, a o ka’u wehewehe no kekahi o laua, oia like no ko kekahi o laua. O Henry Carter no ko makou alakai no keia hele ana i kela mau makeke. O ka makeke mua a makou i komo ai, he hookahi wale no ona hale o kona kiekie, aka, no loihi loa nae; e moe ana oia mai kekuhi alanui a kekahi alanui e ae ma kela aoao mai oia kuea; e hiki no na kaa e holoholo ai mawiena o na wahi kuai, i loko o ua makeke nei.
I ko makou komo ana aku iloko, he mea e ka nui o na mea kuai o kela a me keia ano e ike aku no oe i na bipi, na dia, na hipa, na rabita, an iole, (keokeo) na manu o kela ana a me keia ano, na ia o kela a me keia ano; na opihi, na olepe, na opae, na papai @ na mea liilii o kela ano keia ano; e ola ana, e hele ana e kolo aua e holo aua kekahi poe iloko o na pahu wai.

He mau hana nui loa keia, aka, na ka naauao ka mana hoo pokole i na hana.
Ua ike no hoi au he mai bipi na pepehiia, a e kau ana no me ka ili, aohe i loleia, ua pau nae na wawae a me na poo i ke okiia, a waiho no ke kino pela, a kekahi la okoa aku. O ke kumu paha oia hana ana pela, oia no ke anuanu o ke ea oia wahi, nolaila, aole ino koke na mea io ke waiho a poalua, a poakolu, a poaha; Pela no hoi na palahu me na moa, no koloa, me na nene, na umiia, a,e kau ana no me ka hulu aohe i hukihukiia; Ina no o nei nei kela poe manu; aohe mea nana e kuai aku, manao kakou he manu kupapauia, aka malaila hiki no e umi i na manu, a waiho aku my ke hulu no Poalua, aole inoino.
Ma ka naua ana aku hoi oloko, oia makete, he ano maemae loa, a makaola loa, e like no me ko na home noho. Aohe like me ko kakou makeke kuai ia ka pelapela a ano inoino ke’e a ke honi aku.

Maanei no hoi au i ike ai i kekahi wahi keiki nuku e kuai ana i ka hua moa i kekahi Keonimana. Ua makemake ua kanaka nei i mau hua kupono no ka 5 keneta; a ua pane mai ua wahi keiki nei; “Ekolu huamoa ho ka 5 keneta.” E kali oe i hookahi minute, alaila,, lawa hou makemake.

I ka minute hope loa no, o ka hanau like mai la no ia o ua poi moa nei a pau i ekolu hua, a o ke kahea koke au la no ia o ua Keonimana nei me ka leo nui, “Ua eo au ia oe! Ua eo au ia oe! Eie mai no au mau hapaha ekolu! Eia hou ua mau keneta 5 no ua hua moa ekolu!”
