Note 132 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)
Reading edition
The wiliwili132 is a wood which is prepared here in Hawaii for sale to others: some of it is made into the longitudinal outrigger stick for canoes. That is not all: it is also used as firewood for cooking food by some people. This tree grows plentifully on hills and valleys surrounding us. It is used by children for play boats, also by men; it is also used by some to mend looking glasses. When a glass is broken a piece of wiliwili wood is taken and shaped so that the broken piece of looking glass is fitted in.
