Note 8 — Introductory material (continued 5)

Upon the arrival of Kahikiula at Kuaihelani he was met by his mother and father and all the people. Soon after this Makiioeoe requested Kahikiula to go and meet his sister, Laukiamanuikahiki, which invitation was accepted. When they were near the house, Kahikiula looked and saw a bright light on the outside of the house; so he said to Makiioeoe: “Say, your house is on fire!” Makiioeoe replied: “That is not a fire, it is some person sleeping within, it is your sister.” They then entered the house and Makiioeoe approached the bed and roused his daughter saying: “Wake up, here is your brother Kahikiula.” Laukiamanuikahiki awoke from her sleep and turned down on her breast. She then looked up at Kahikiula and greeted him.8 What a sight it was to behold these two; one was as handsome as the other was beautiful; both were equal in good looks, Kahikiula and Laukiamanuikahiki.
