He i'a ka puhi me he nahesa la. He lōʻihi loa kona kino, lohi, a ʻeleu. He mau peʻa liʻiliʻi kona e like me nā lipine ma ke kino. He liʻiliʻi loa nā unahi a ʻeleʻele. ʻO ia ke kumu e ʻōlelo ai ka poʻe he pahee lākou ke hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke pine i lalo.
Aia ma kahi o iwakālua mau ʻano iʻa i hui pū ʻia i kahi ʻano. ʻO ka puhi ʻEulopa wale nō kā mākou. ʻO ia ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia e kekahi ma ʻaneʻi no ka puhi. Noho kēia mau puhi i nā muliwai a me nā loko. Hiki i ka ʻili makua ke ulu a hiki i hoʻokahi mika ka lōʻihi. No ka hānau ʻana, ʻauʻau lākou i lalo o nā kahawai a ma waena o ke kai kokoke i ʻAmelika. Ma laila lāua e male ai. Hoʻokuʻu ka wahine i nā hua a make. Make ke kane.
Hoʻoulu ʻia nā holoholona ʻōpiopio mai nā hua. Inā nui lākou e like me ka manamana lima, ʻaneʻane alohilohi, a laila kapa ʻia lākou he ʻele aniani. A laila ʻauʻau hou lākou ma ke kai a piʻi i nā kahawai. He maalea ko ka puhi e hana ai penei: nahesa lakou ma ka mauu pulu e holo ai mai kekahi muliwai a i kekahi.
Manaʻo ʻia he ʻono loa ka puhi a no laila ua hopu ʻia a ʻai ʻia e ke kanaka no ka manawa lōʻihi. Kūʻai pinepine ʻia lākou i palai a puhi ʻia paha. I ka wā liʻiliʻi ka ʻai ʻana o nā kānaka, ʻoi aku ka waiwai o ka puhi ma mua o ke gula a me nā pōhaku makamae.
