JUIWAIYU lived far away in the east, in the southern part of it. His father, Periwiriwaiyu, was old. His mother, Maharia, was old, too; but both were very beautiful.
Juiwaiyu hunted, fished; was happy till one night he dreamed of two girls who lived beyond Wahkalu, lived north of that mountain.
“I dreamed of two sisters,” said he to his father and mother next morning, “I saw two women last night. They are both very beautiful. I must find them; I will bring them home if I can.”
