"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"


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.
