The fellow went up and met Malio. His sister asked. "What have you come
up here for?"
Said Halaaniani, "I have come up here to you once more to show you what
I desire; for I have again seen a beautiful woman with a face like
Laieikawai's.
"Yesterday morning when I went outside my house I saw this young girl
with the lovely face; then a great longing took possession of me.
"And because I remembered that you were the one who fulfilled my wishes,
therefore I have come up here again."
Said Malio to her brother, "That is Laielohelohe, another of Waka's
grandchildren; she is betrothed to Kekalukaluokewa, to be his wife.
Therefore go and watch the girl's house without being seen for four
days, and see what she does; then come back and tell me; then I will
send you to seduce the girl. I can not do it by my power, for they are
two."
At these words of Malio, Halaaniani went to spy outside of
Laielohelohe's house without being seen; almost twice ten days he lay in
wait; then he saw Laielohelohe stringing _lehua_ blossoms. He came
repeatedly many days; there she was stringing _lehua_ blossoms.
Halaaniani returned to his sister as he had been directed, and told her
what he had seen of Laielohelohe.
