Note 33 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

While living there the daughter was taken sick; the parents went about looking for a kahuna to cure her illness. They found the kahuna, Kumakaohuohu,33 and they asked him for medicine: “Say, please give us some medicine for our daughter, because she is very ill.” The kahuna replied: “You two can not get my medicine until you have given me something as a sacrifice for my sacred medicine, then would your daughter be cured.” So they got the daughter, and had the medicine applied to her, thinking that that would cure the child; but it did not. What the lying kahuna did killed her.
