Noonoo iho la o Karolaina no kekahi Manawa, a i ka hala ana o kekahi mau minuke, i mai la:
“Ma ka mea i maa mau ia: he makemake loa kela poe i ka pili ma na wahi heihei ho, a pela au i manao iho la malaila kaua e hoomaka ai i ka kaua hana.”
“Pololei ia, ina pela, ma ke kahua heihei lio kaua e hoomaka aku ai i ka kaua hana.”
“Pela iho la ko’u manao, no ka mea, oia na hana makemake loa a kela poe, a oiai kaua malaila aole e nele ana ka loaa ia kaua o kekahi mau ike lehulehu e alakai aku ai ahiki i ka hopena o ka mea a kaua e ake nei e loaa mai.”
“Ke lokahi nei ko’u manao me kou,” wahi a Makaikiu Dana o ka pane ana aku.
