Note 1 — XXI PIKOI THE RAT-KILLER
Reading edition
Pikoi wandered down to the beach at Ulu-kou1 where the queen and her retinue were surf-riding. While he stood near the water the queen came in on a great wave which brought her before him. He asked for her papa (surf-board) but she said it was tabu to any one but herself. Any other taking that surf-board would be killed by the servants.
