She asks for 30
days to consider it, and dreams each night of a handsome man, with whom
she falls in love. She runs away and, accompanied by a rainbow, wanders
in the uplands of Pahulumoa until Puuhue finds her and carries her home
to his lord, the king of Kohala, Puuonale, who turns out to be the man
of her dream. Her first child is the image Alelekinakina.
5. KAPUAOKAOHELOAI
When Ku and Hina are living at Waiakea, Hilo, they have two children, a
boy called Hookaakaaikapakaakaua and a lovely girl named
Kapuaokaoheloai. They are brought up apart and virgin, without being
permitted to see each other, until one day the sister discovers the
brother by the bright light that shines from his house, and outwits the
attendants. The two are discovered and banished. Attendants of the king
of Kuaihelani find the girl and, because she is so beautiful, carry her
back with them to be the king's wife. Her virginity is tested and she
slips on the platform, is wounded in the virgin's bathing pool, and
slips on the bank getting out. Her guilt thus proved, she is about to be
slain when a soothsayer reveals her high rank as the child of Hina,
older sister to the king, and the king forgives and marries her.
