"
For ten days they journeyed before they reached the place to go up;
Kaeloikamalama called out, "O Lanalananuiaimakua! Great ancestral
spider. Let down the road here for me to go up!! There is trouble
below!!!"
Not long after, Great ancestral spider let down a spider-web that made a
network in the air.
Then Kaeloikamalama instructed her, saying, "Here is your way, ascend to
the top, and you will see a house standing alone in a garden patch;
there is Moanalihaikawaokele; the country is Kahakaekaea.
"When you see an old man with long gray hair, that is
Moanalihaikawaokele; if he is sitting up, don't be hasty; should he spy
you first, you will die, he will not listen to you, he will take you for
another.
"Wait until he is asleep; should he turn his face down he is not asleep,
but when you see him with the face turned up, he is really asleep; then
approach not the windward, go to the leeward, and sit upon his breast,
holding tight to his beard, then call out:
"O Moanalihaikawaokele--O!
Here am I--your child,
Child of Laukieleula,
Child of Mokukelekahiki,
Child of Kaeloikamalama,
The brothers of my mother,
Mother, mother,
Of me and my older sisters
And my brother, Aiwohikupua,
Grant me the sight, the long sight, the deep sight,
Release the one in the heavens,
My brother and lord,
Awake! Arise!
"So you must call to him, and if he questions you, then, tell him
about your journey here.
