When Kiihele arrived at the home of Makolea, Makolea asked him: “Where are you from?” Kiihele replied: “I came along this way.” “What is the object of the journey that has brought you here?” “It is a journey in search of a wife.” “For whom is the wife to be?” “For our adopted son.” Makolea again asked: “How good looking is your son, is he like yourself?” Kiihele said “No, I am but as the skin under his feet.9 He is not to be compared with me.” When Makolea heard this, she said to Kiihele: “You go home and bring the husband.”10 Kiihele assented to this. Makolea again asked: “What day are you to arrive?” Kiihele answered: “I am going home and shall be gone about two days, on the third day I will arrive with your husband.” Makolea agreed to this.
