Aia kekahi lāʻau nui i loko o ka ululāʻau me nā mau momona, ka nui o nā lālā nui, a me nā lau lau. Hele mai kahi keiki keikiʻole i ka lāʻau e pāʻani ai.
Manaʻo ke keikikāne ua loheʻo ia i ka lāʻau e'ōlelo maikaʻi ana iā ia, "E hele mai iaʻu. E hana i kahi hale pāʻani maʻaneʻi. Hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻohana i koʻu mau lālā liʻiliʻi inā makemakeʻoe, a nui nā lau. "Piʻi aʻela ke keiki i luna o ka lāʻau, wāwahi i kekahi mau lālā, lālau i nā lau, a hana i kahi hale kiʻekiʻe i ka lāʻau. ʻOiai uaʻeha ka lāʻau, akā, hauʻoli ka lāʻau e kaumaha iki aʻike i ke keiki e hauʻoli nui. I nā lā lōʻihi, e pāʻani ke keiki ma loko o ka hale lāʻau. Ua piha ka kumulāʻau.
