Then Laieikawai began to wail again until evening of the
third day, and this night, at dawn, for the first time she fell asleep.
Just as sleep came to her Halaaniani stood before her with another
woman, and Laieikawai started up, and it was only a dream!
At the same time Mailehaiwale had a vision. She awoke and told her dream
to Mailelaulii and Mailekaluhea.
As they were talking about it Laieikawai awoke and told her dream.
Said Mailelaulii, "We are just talking of Mailehaiwale's dream."
As they discussed the dreams Kahalaomapuana awoke from sleep and asked
what they were talking about.
Mailehaiwale told the dream that had come to her: "It was up at Paliuli,
Halaaniani came and took you, Kahalaomapuana, and you two went away
somewhere; my spirit stood and watched you, and the excitement awoke
me."
Laieikawai also told her dream, and Kahalaomapuana said, "Halaaniani is
not dead; we will wait; do not weep; waste no tears."
Then Laieikawai stopped wailing, and they returned to Paliuli.
At this place we shall tell of Halaaniani, and here we shall see his
clever trickery.
When Halaaniani told Laieikawai he was going up to see Malio, this was
in order to get away from her after giving her his commands.
