Reading edition
After they had been living together for about three days, the voices of the people and the king were heard shouting and yelling. Kepakailiula therefore asked his friend Kaunalewa: “What is this shouting up above here?” Kaunalewa replied: “It is our King Kaikipaananea playing honuhonu,29 also wrestling, boxing and such other games. Some one must have been thrown, hence the shouting.” Kepakailiula then said: “Can’t the place be visited?” The friend answered: “And why not?” They then went up to the place and to the very presence of Kaikipaananea surrounded by a vast multitude. When the people saw Kepakailiula they all shouted their admiration, for he was such a handsome looking fellow. After the shouting the people began to take pity on him for they were sure he would be killed by Kaikipaananea.
