Ka hānau ʻana o ka pāpale kalaunu

ʻO nā pāpale lei ke ʻano o nā pāpale i hoʻohana mau ʻia i kēia mau lā no ka pia, nā mea inu ʻoluʻolu a me nā mea ʻono. Ua maʻa nā mea kūʻai aku i kēia pāpale omole, akā kakaikahi ka poʻe i ʻike he wahi moʻolelo liʻiliʻi hoihoi e pili ana i ke kaʻina hana noʻeau o kēia pāpale ʻōmole.
He mea mīkini ʻo Painter ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I kekahi lā, i ka wā i hoʻi mai ai ʻo Peinter i ka hale mai ka haʻalele ʻana i ka hana, luhi ʻo ia a make wai, no laila ua ʻohi ʻo ia i kahi ʻōmole wai kopa. I kona wehe ʻana i ka pāpale, honi ʻo ia i kahi ʻala ʻē, a aia kekahi mea keʻokeʻo ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka ʻōmole. Ua hewa ka soda no ka mea ua wela loa a ua hemo ka pāpale.
Ma waho aʻe o ka huhū, ua hoʻoikaika koke kēia i ka ʻepekema kāne a me ka ʻenekinia o Painter. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i ka pāpale ʻōmole me ka sila maikaʻi a me ke ʻano nani? Ua manaʻo ʻo ia he nui nā pāpale omole i ia manawa, ʻaʻole pilikia wale ka hana ʻana, ʻaʻole nō hoʻi i paʻa paʻa, a ua maʻalahi ka mea inu. No laila ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo ia ma kahi o 3,000 mau ʻōmole e aʻo ai. ʻOiai he mea liʻiliʻi ka pāpale, paʻakikī ke hana. ʻO ka mea pena kiʻi, ka mea i ʻike ʻole i ka ʻike e pili ana i nā pāpale omole, loaʻa ka pahuhopu maopopo, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i loaʻa kahi manaʻo maikaʻi no kekahi manawa.
I kekahi lā, ʻike ka wahine iā Painter me ke kaumaha loa, a ʻōlelo ʻo ia iā ia: “Mai hopohopo, e ke aloha, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo e hana i ka pāpale omole e like me ka lei aliʻi, a laila kaomi i lalo!"
Ma hope o ka hoʻolohe ʻana i ka ʻōlelo a kāna wahine, me he mea lā ua haʻalulu ʻo Peinter: “ʻAe! No ke aha i noʻonoʻo ʻole ai au i kēlā? Ua loaʻa koke iā ia kahi pāpale omole, kaomi i nā pelu a puni ka ʻōmole, a ua hana ʻia kahi pāpale ʻōmole me he lei aliʻi lā. A laila e kau i ka pāpale ma ka waha o ka ʻōmole, a laila kaomi paʻa. Ma hope o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana, ʻike ʻia ua paʻa ka pāpale a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke sila ma mua o ka pāpale wili mua.
Ua hoʻokomo koke ʻia ka pāpale omole i haku ʻia e Painter i loko o ka hana a hoʻohana nui ʻia, a hiki i kēia lā, aia mau nā "pale aliʻi" ma nā wahi āpau o ko mākou ola.
