Hina said to Kuula: “Give some fish for our son.” At this time the basket was standing in place and the fishes came into it until it overflowed, the basket being quite full. So the friend Pilihawawa collected the fish and placed them on dry land. Kuula, however, sent in the surfs which, breaking, carried all the fish back into the sea, the fish which were placed in the container only remained. That was the method of fishing and the origin of [Kuula] fishermen which continues to this day. Hina is a real stone, which exists to this day. It controls certain fishes.
