At noon Laieikawai's eyes glanced downward, lo! Kaonohiokala sinned with
Laielohelohe.
Then Laieikawai went and told Moanalihaikawaokele about it, saying, "I
have employed the power you gave me, but while I was looking my high
lord sinned; he did evil with my sister; for the first time I understand
why his business takes him so long down below."
Then Moanalihaikawaokele's wrath was kindled, and Laukieleula heard it
also, and her parents-in-law went to the gourd--lo! they plainly saw the
sin committed as Laieikawai had said.
That day they all came together, Laieikawai and her parents-in-law, to
see what to do about Kaonohiokala, and they came to their decision.
Then the pathway was let down from Kahakaekaea and dropped before
Kaonohiokala; then Kaonohiokala's heart beat with fear, because the road
dropped before him; not for long was Kaonohiokala left to wonder.
Then the air was darkened and it was filled with the cry of wailing
spirits and the voice of lamentation--"The divine one has fallen! The
divine one has fallen!!" And when the darkness was over, lo!
Moanalihaikawaokele and Laukieleula and Laieikawai sat above the rainbow
pathway.
