Hina Keahi was well beloved by her people and her lightest commands were obeyed meticulously. Food had always been plentiful in Hawaii. The people cultivated their fields, which yielded bountifully. But one time the crops failed grew smaller and smaller and began to shrivel up and die. Soon a famine spread over the land.

Hawaiians soon learned to use the pili grass in house building, as it made a tighter thatch and lasted longer than the lauhala or the grasses to which they had been accustomed. The stems of the flowers were later used in weaving hats, as they, too, were firm and strong. Farther up the river, which Paoa learned was called the Wailuku, there lived the goddess Hina.

Hearing the crash of the club and realizing his attempt on the life of Hina had again failed, Kuna turned and fled up the river. The remains of the great boulder, now known as Lonokaeho, overgrown with tropical plants and with the river rushing through the rift, lies there to this day as proof of Maui's prowess.

It was not long after this that another famine swept the land. Hina Kuluua thought fortune was at last coming her way. Here was the very opportunity she craved. Now she would prove her power superior to her sister's and all the people would sing her praises and worship her alone. In her excitement she entirely overlooked the fact that she was goddess of rain, and not of fire.

Play-time is a part of school-time, not a break in it. You remember what Aristotle says: 'ascholoumetha gar hina scholazomen." "My dear uncle," said I, "there is nothing out of the common in your remarks, except of course your extraordinary habit of decorating them with a Greek quotation, like an ancient coin set as a scarf-pin and stuck carelessly into a modern neck-tie.

But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all": hina ho theos panta en pasin that is to say, that the end is that God, Consciousness, will end by being all in all.

So when she saw this strange object floating in the water near her home on the morning after the storm she recognized it as Maui's kite. Chuckling in vicious satisfaction at this chance opportunity to make trouble for the handsome son of Hina, Puuanuhe hid the kite in the rough hills back of Hilea. Great was Maui's surprise and consternation when he found his kite gone.

A voice that I could never forget, strive how I would, a voice that haunted my dreams by night, and for which by day I was ever listening, cried out from some adjoining room: "Ta'ala hina!" it called. "Ta'ala hina, Peko!" It was Kâramanèh! The effect upon the marmoset was instantaneous.

Quite often he would block the stream below the falls with sediment sent down by freshets during the rainy seasons. But Hina was well protected. Her cave was large and the misty cloud of spray from the falling waters helped to conceal it.

So Maui set about the construction of an enormous kite. His mother, the goddess Hina, made for him a beautiful and strong tapa, and twisted fibres of the olona into a stout cord. From the rich red wood of the koa expert and willing hands put together a graceful frame, and in due time the big plaything was ready.
