            Aia ka puulu kanaka, ke noke la i ka huro, me ka wehe ana i ko lakou mau papale no kela hana hooplakele a Konaradi i lawelawe ai, me ke kii okoa ana mai o kekahi poe e hapai ia Konaradi iluna, me ko lakou makaukau e hapai aku iaia ahiki i ka hoea ana i kahi e waiho ana o ka lio me ame ke kaa nahaha, ua hoole paakiki loa aku nae ke kanaka opio ia hana, no kona makemake ole e ikeia mai, ka hookelakela a hooio iloko on a.

            No Zora hoi, ua hoihoiia aku la oia no kekahi hale pili kokoke mai, no ka hoomaha ana malaila, ahiki i ke auhee ana aku o kona mau manao pihoihoi, ia wa e hoihoi aku ai kona makuakane iaia no ko laua home, aka no Konaradi hoi, ua alakaii aku la oia ame kon lio e kela puulu, no ke taona, me ka noke mau ana o kela poe kanaka i ka huro iaia nei.

"

            Ke lohe maopopo ia aku la ka leo uwa o na kanaka, a ke hokokoe loa mai la no hoi i ka halekuai laau, nolaila kiei aku la ua o Kakeo iwaho o ka puka aniani, a o kana mea o ka ike ana aku, o ia no ke kau ana o Konradi maluna o kona lio eleele, a ua hoopunaiia oia e na kanaka he nui, me ka noke mau ana o kela poe kanaka i ka huro. e wehe ana i ko lakou mau papale, a kiola iluna o ha lewa.

            Ua hoouna okoa mai o Zora i kekahi leka i ua o Konaradi, e haawi mai ana i kona mahalo kiekie, no kana mea i hana aku ai no kona ola, he leka hoi a Konaradi i pane mai ai ma ke ano hoaloha, e hoomama ana i kana mau mea i hana aku ai no kela kaikamahine me ke kaena ole aku, elike paha me kekahi poe e ae, i ko lakou wa e hana ai i kekahi mea e hookaulanaia ae ai ko lakou mau inoa, e hooia aku ana hoi imua o ua kaikamahine nei, no kona makaukau mau i na wa apau e hana aku i kekahi hana hoopakele no ke ola o kai no ka mea he hana ia e loaa ai iaia ka hauoli io.

            "Enanea ana no au i ka pulumi i ka opala mawaho o @@ hale i wa i puhiia mai ai keia leka e ka makani mailoko mai o ka puka aniani a haule ana iwaho nei pela iho la i loaa ai keia leka iau"

            "Mai ka puka aniani hea mai keia leka i puhiia mai ai e ka makani?"

            "Mai ka puka aniani mai o ke keena oihana o kou makuakane."

            "Aole i maopopo iau, na kou makuakane paha kela leka, a i ole na kekahi mea okoa aku paha? O ka inoa wale no ma ka hoomaka ana mai o ka leka ka mea maopopo iau no ke koena aku o ka leka, he ppohihihi wale no; in a paha he hiki ai ke heluhelu i keia leka, a maopopo iau na kou makuakane, in a ua hoihoi aku au a haawi iaia."

            Ke makemake nei au e ninau ia oe e Pita; heaha ke kumu o kou lawe ana mai a haawi i keia leka iau"

            "Aole i maopopo loa iau ke kumu oiai@ maoli, koe wale no keia, malia paha ma@@@@ o ke ano e o na hana a kou makuakane pela iho la au i manao ai e ike oe i ka manao o keia leka."

            Aole he maopopo ia Konaradi o kana mea e hana aku ai no kela Paele, aka nae mahope iho o kona noonooo ana o kela kekahi o na kauwa hoopono, a hoolohe loa i na kauoha apau e haawiia aku ana iaia, ia wa i pane aku:

            Haalele iho la ua o Konaradi i ka Paele helu aku la no kekahi wahi maluhia alaila wehe ae la i ka leka a hoomaka hou iho la e heluhelu a me ka nui o kona noonoo, i hiki ai iaia ke ike i na mea i kakauia ma ke ano nalo loa e hiki ole ai i kekahi mea ke heluhelu koe wale no a loaa iaia ke ki o na meahuna pohihihi i pili loa, i ke ano o na huapalapala.

            Ma ka heluhelu hoi hope ana, e hoomaka ana ma ke kikokahi mua aku, i hiki ai i ua o Konaradi ke kuekaa i ka meahuna pohihihi maloko o kela leka, elike me ia malalo iho nei:

            "Aohe he hopohopo ana no ka manu eia oia ma kahi he lele ole ai ka oili eia nae aole no i @ele i ke kupaka @ loaa k lanakila iaia.

            "Heaha la ke ano o keia mea au e heluhelu nei?" i namunamu liilii iho ai o Konaradi. "He leka keia i hoounaia mai Kili, Amerika Hema mai, ia Mr. Habaki Kukona cia nac peha la ia i kaa mai ai malalao o ka malu o kuu makuakane, me ka maopopo mua ole iaia a i  ka wa i ke aku ai o Mr. Kenekoa, i ka waiho mai o ka leka imua o kana keiki hoike okoa mai la kona helehelena i kekahi nanaina maikai ole, a o ia kana o ka ninau ana aku me ka leo kuoo: "Ihea kahi i loaa ai o kene leka ia oe?" wahi a ka makuakane me ka leo kuoo.
