ʻO kāna wahine, kāna kāne i make i nā makahiki ʻekolu, ua moe ʻo ia i kahi moe a ala aʻe e noʻonoʻo luo, wehe ʻia nā moena puna, loaʻa.

He poʻe kuaʻāina wau, ma ke kulanui ua hālāwai me kāna kāne ma ke kūlanakauhale. ʻAʻole maikaʻi loa kona kino, akā maikaʻi loa ke kūlana ʻohana. I kēlā manawa e noho ana au i loko o nā lālā o ka papa, pinepine i nā hana hui e kōkua iā ia, e mālama iā ia, i ka wā lōʻihi, ua hoʻopuka i kahi manaʻo kūikawā me ia. Noho mākou no ka manawa lōʻihi, manaʻo ke ʻano o ke ʻano, a laila hoʻoholo i ka pilina. Ua manaʻo wau i ka wā o ka puka ʻana, haʻalele ʻo ia iaʻu no ke ʻano o ka ʻohana, akā ua hoʻopuka ʻo ia i ka nīnau ma ka hui puka. Look at the husband guaranteed, I deigned to accept his proposal. I ka ʻauinalā, ua lawe mākou i ke keʻena ʻohana no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka palapala male. ʻIke nā hūnōna i kēia mea ma hope o ka haki ʻana i ka huhū huhū, hoʻokuʻu pololei iā ia i waho o ka hale. Ua manaʻo wau e mālama pono i ke kino o kāna kāne, no laila ʻaʻole a me nā hūnōna. I mea e kuai ai i laau nana e ike i ke kauka, owau no ka hana o ke ao a me ka po, me kana huakai hele i kela a me keia halemai nui. Me ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kino o ke kāne, ma ka hopena wale nō e ka infusion compensatory nutrition. I kēia manawa, makemake au e ʻimi i ke kōkua mai nā makuahōnōwai, akā, hewa lākou no kēia mau mea a pau, ʻaʻole wau makemake e hāʻawi lima. Ua ʻōlelo ke kāne, ʻo nā hūnōna e lawelawe i ka maikaʻi o kona mau makahiki he iwakālua, i kēia manawa me aʻu, ʻaʻole lākou makemake e hoʻoikaika i ka mana. I ka lohe ʻana i kēia, ʻeha koʻu naʻau, ʻaʻole maopopo i ka hoʻomaha ʻana iā ia. E ʻoluʻolu, hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomau i ka paʻakikī e loaʻa kālā, e like me ka hiki ke hoʻohana nā kauka i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e mālama ai i kona ola. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i lanakila ke kāne i ka maʻi, make i ka makahiki ʻelua o kā māua male ʻana. E ke kāne, makemake wau i kahi kupapaʻu hele wāwae, me ka mīkini e hana i kēlā me kēia lā ma hope o ka hana, hoihoi i nā mea āpau. Ma hope o ka manawa lōʻihi, pilikia koʻu ola, pilikia ka hana. Akā i ke kolu o ka makahiki o ka make ʻana o ke kāne, ua moeʻuhane au ua hiki ʻo ia i kahi moe a haʻi mai iaʻu i ka hauʻoli nui, e hele mai. E ala, manaʻo wau ua hala wau i kahi maʻi, loaʻa wale kahi moeʻuhane. Akā, manaʻo ke kino he luo lalo, wehe i ka nana, puna moena loaa. ʻO ka moena puna he nui ke kālā, ʻelua mau moʻolelo, a me kahi ʻāpana pepa. E kākau i luna: 'E ka wahine, ʻaʻole wau ʻike i ka wā e loaʻa ai ke kālā. ʻOiai ʻoe ma ka hana, ua haʻalele wau i kahi hana hapa manawa e loaʻa ai. ʻOiai ʻaʻole nui, akā ʻo koʻu puʻuwai, ʻaʻohe mea i nā lā e hiki mai ana, manaʻolana hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli. 'I ko'u 'ike 'ana i keia, ua uwe au i ka waimaka, me ka mana'o e hiki i ke kane ke noonoo nui no'u! I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe oʻu manaʻo paʻakikī i ke ola. Ma hope o koʻu hoʻoholo ʻana e loaʻa kahi ola maikaʻi, akā e lawe pū i ka manawa e kipa aku i nā hūnōna, e hōʻoluʻolu i kāna kāne i ka lua! Ua ʻōlelo ʻoe, pololei kaʻu hana?
