Note 35 — PREFACE. (continued 3)

After the conversation which was held between him and Hawewe, Aukelenuiaiku flew until he lit on Kanenaenae. At the end of the questions and answers relating to the parents of Aukelenuiaiku, Kanenaenae then knew that he was connected to Aukelenuiaiku, and he therefore fell on him and wept. At the end of the weeping he asked Aukelenuiaiku: “What has brought my lord here?” Aukelenuiaiku answered: “I have come for the water of everlasting life of Kane, for my nephew and brothers.” Kanenaenae then asked: “Is it not all gone?” “No, it is not all gone.” “Yes, you shall have it. Look straight at my middle.”35 While Aukelenuiaiku was looking, Kanenaenae said: “You must not fly on this side, for you will strike the loulu palm leaves and the sound will travel to your cousin there below, and the water of life of Kane will be closed and you will not be able to get it. You must therefore fly along this way. In this flight downward you will meet your grandfather who will direct you how to get to this water of life.”
