Then the servant asked her, 'What business had you to break the calabash of Tutanekai?' but Hine-Moa did not say a word in answer.
The servant then went back, and Tutanekai said to him, 'Where is the water I told you to bring me?'
So he answered, 'Your calabash was broken.'
And his master asked him, 'Who broke it?' And he answered, 'The man who is in the bath.'
And Tutanekai said to him, 'Go back again, then, and fetch me some water.'
He therefore took a second calabash and went back and drew water in the calabash from the lake and Hine-Moa again said to him, 'Whom is that: water for?' So the slave answered as before, 'For Tutanekai.' And the maiden again said, 'Give it to me, for I am thirsty.' And the slave gave it to her and she drank and purposely threw down the calabash and broke it. And these occurrences took place repeatedly between those two persons.
At last the slave went again to Tutanekai, who said to him, 'Where is the water for me?' And his servant answered, 'It is all gone; your calabashes have been broken.'
'By whom?' said his master. 'Didn't I tell you that there is a man in the bath?' answered the servant.
'Who is the fellow?' said Tutanekai.
'How can I tell?' replied the slave. 'Why, he's a stranger.'
