"
When Halaaniani heard this speech, he waited not a moment to descend and
join his sister.
To Malio's question he told her what he had seen.
Said Malio to Halaaniani, "We will go home and early in the morning come
here again, then we shall find out her intentions."
They went home and returned early in the morning. When they had taken
their stations, Laielohelohe came as usual to string _lehua_ blossoms.
Then Malio sounded the flute, as Laielohelohe began to snip the _lehua_
blossoms, and she stopped, for her attention was attracted to the music.
Three times Malio sounded the nose flute.
Then said Laielohelohe, "If you are a woman who sounds the flute, then
let us two kiss."
At Laielohelohe's words, Malio approached Laielohelohe and the girl saw
her, and she was a stranger to Laielohelohe's eyes.
Then she started to kiss her.
And as the girl was about to give the promised kiss, Malio said, "Let
our kiss wait, first give my brother a kiss; when you two have done,
then we will kiss."
Then said Laielohelohe, "You and your brother may go away, do not bring
him into my presence; you both go back to your own place and do not come
here again.
