Note 277 — CONTENTS. (continued 5)

“That large black cloud277 in the path of the rain-cloud below, cast a shadow. Shadow, watch! watch this our field. Say, large cloud, cast your shadow from that corner to this corner; cast your shadow from that side to this side; do not cast your shadow on the field of others, you will be censured for obscuring the sun; the owner of the field might be chilled. Say, large cloud! Cast your shadow on this our field; shade the holes, shade the leaves of our food to give it growth, that the hole be filled with taro. Say, large cloud, shade our field from mountainward to seaward, from the upland to the lowland.”
