I kekahi manawa, ua makemake ke keikialii e mare i ke Alii wahine; Ua huakaʻi ʻo ia a puni ka honua e ʻimi i kahi, akā ʻaʻohe wahi i loaʻa iā ia kāna mea i makemake ai. Ua lawa nā aliʻi wahine, akā he mea paʻakikī ke ʻike inā he mau aliʻi maoli lākou. Aia kekahi mea e pili ana iā lākou ʻaʻole e like me ka mea e pono ai. No laila, hoʻi hou ʻo ia i ka hale me ke kaumaha, no ka mea, makemake nui ʻo ia e loaʻa i ke aliʻi wahine maoli.

I kekahi ahiahi, hiki mai ka ino; he hekili a me ka uila, a kahe ka ua. Ia manawa nō, lohe ʻia ke kīkēkē ʻana ma ka puka pā, a hele akula ke aliʻi kahiko e wehe.

He aliʻi aliʻi e kū ana ma mua o ka puka pā. Akā, aloha maikaʻi! nani ka ʻike ʻana i ka ua a me ka makani. Kahe ka wai mai kona lauoho a me kona mau lole; kahe ka wai i lalo ma nā manamana wāwae o kona mau kāmaʻa a i waho ma nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae. A ʻōlelo naʻe ʻo ia he aliʻi wahine maoli.

"ʻAe, e ʻike koke mākou i kēlā," i manaʻo ai ka mōʻīwahine kahiko. ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo ia i ʻōlelo iki, komo i loko o ka lumi moe, lawe aʻela i nā moena a pau mai luna mai o ka moena moe, a waiho i kahi pī ma lalo; a laila lawe ʻo ia i nā moena he iwakālua a hoʻomoe ma luna o ka pī, a laila he iwakālua mau moena lalo ma luna o nā moena.

No keia mea, ua moe ke Alii i ka po a pau. I ke kakahiaka ua nīnau ʻia ʻo ia pehea ʻo ia i hiamoe ai.

"Auē, ʻino loa!" wahi āna. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke pani i koʻu mau maka i ka pō a pau. ʻO ka lani wale nō ka mea i loko o ka moena, akā e moe ana au ma luna o kahi mea paʻakikī, no laila ʻeleʻele wau a uliuli a puni koʻu kino. He weliweli!"

I kēia manawa ua ʻike lākou he aliʻi wahine maoli ʻo ia no ka mea ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka pī ma waena o nā moena he iwakālua a me nā moena he iwakālua ʻeono.

ʻAʻohe mea e like me ke aliʻi wahine maoli e like me kēlā.

No laila, lawe ke aliʻi iā ia i wahine nāna, no ka mea, ua ʻike ʻo ia he aliʻi wahine maoli kāna; a waiho ʻia ka pī i loko o ka hale hōʻikeʻike, kahi e ʻike ʻia ai, inā ʻaʻohe mea i ʻaihue.

Aia, he moʻolelo ʻoiaʻiʻo kēlā.
