ʻO kēia kumu hana opalaoa, ʻoiai he mea hana wale nō, he hana hou kūpono ia o ka nani o ke ʻano. ʻO nā lālā ʻekolu-ʻaoʻao, e like me ka ua o nā makahiki, e hōʻuluʻulu ana i ka hauʻoli o ka ʻohiʻohi a me nā hua o ka manaʻolana. Piha a ʻālohilohi kēlā me kēia hua palaoa, me he mea lā he makana mai ka Honua Makuahine, a ʻaʻole hiki i nā kānaka ke kōkua akā makemake e hoʻopā mālie iā ia a manaʻo i ka mahana mai ke ʻano.
ʻAʻole leo nui kona kala, akā he nani mālie kona. ʻO ke melemele gula māmā, i ka lā, ʻike ʻia he mehana loa, me he mea lā ua hiolo mālie ka lā, i kāpīpī ʻia ma luna o kēia lālā palaoa. Ke pā mai ka makani, e neʻe mālie ana ia, me he mea lā he hawanawana, e haʻi ana i ka moʻolelo o ka ulu ʻana a me ka ʻohi ʻana.
He hoʻohālike maʻalahi ia o kahi lālā palaoa hoʻokahi, akā ua lawe mai iaʻu i ka noʻonoʻo pau ʻole a me ka neʻe ʻana. ʻAʻole ia he ʻano hoʻonaninani wale nō, akā he ʻano meaʻai uhane hoʻi. I koʻu luhi ʻana, hiki iā ia ke lawe mai iaʻu i ka maluhia a me ka hōʻoluʻolu, e ʻae mai iaʻu e ʻimi i kahi ʻāpana o ko lākou ʻāina maʻemaʻe ponoʻī ma kēia ao walaʻau.
ʻAʻole pono ia i nā huaʻōlelo pua e hoʻonani ai, ʻaʻole hoʻi e pono i nā ʻano paʻakikī e hōʻike iā ia. Hoʻokahi wale nō lālā palaoa e lawa ai e ʻae iā mākou e ʻike i ka mehana a me ka nani mai ka lalo o ko mākou mau puʻuwai. Malia paha ʻo kēia ka mana o ka maʻalahi. ʻO ka maʻalahi, he hoʻi ʻana i ka nani, he hoʻi ʻana i ke ʻano maoli. I loko o ke ao paʻakikī, pono mākou i kēlā ʻano maʻalahi, e holoi i ka lepo o ka ʻuhane, e ʻike i ke kumu maʻemaʻe a nani.
I nā manawa he nui, hahai mau mākou i kēlā mau mea nani a paʻakikī, akā hoʻowahāwahā i ke ola maʻalahi a nani a puni mākou. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hūnā pinepine ʻia ka hauʻoli maoli i loko o kēia mau mea maʻamau. Inā mākou e hoʻokomo i ko mākou naʻau e manaʻo, e ʻike, hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ka nani palena ʻole o ke ola.
