Note 58 — CONTENTS.

While Maui was living with his parents, he felt sorry for his mother because of what she had to dry. The sun did not tarry long on its journey; it arose and set very quickly. The idea sprung up in him to go and snare the sun so that it would go slower. He went and at the cape of Hamakua he saw Moemoe58 sleeping in the cave of Kapepeenui at Wailohi; he saw the sun rising at Hana; he climbed Haleakala59 and inspected it and found it satisfactory. He went back to his parents’ place; he noticed that the sun still kept on in its old ways. So he came along to Peeloko60 at Waihee and threw down a lot of coconuts; he secured a plenty of husk and with it he went off to snare the sun.
