“Ah, how she runs! She flies by the man as they are almost at the end of their race,” exclaimed Ike-loa.
Then the chief called to his bowman: “O Pana-pololei! Perhaps you have another arrow?” The bowman shot a blunt arrow, striking [[80]]the woman’s breast, and she fell, out of breath, losing all the water from her broken calabash.
The chief took the calabash from his man and poured water into a coconut-cup and gave to the chiefess to drink.
When the woman came the chiefess asked why she had failed. The woman replied: “I passed that man, but something struck me and I fell down. This came to me again and again, but I could not see anything. At last I fell and the calabash was broken and all the water lost, and this man won the race.”
Meanwhile Mama-loa was being ridiculed by the other servants of the chief. He asked: “Why do you laugh at me? Did you not see my victory?”
They laughed the more, and said: “Ka! If we had not aided you, you would have been defeated.” Then they told him how he had been watched by the far-sighted one and aided by the arrows of his friend.
The chiefess told the chief that she had one more test before the marriage could take place.
She said: “In this land there are two places, one very hot and one very cold. If you can send men to live in these two places we will marry.”
Then the chief said to Kanaka-make-anu, “You die in the cold, but perhaps you can go [[81]]to the very hot place for the chiefess.” And Kanaka-make-wela who suffered from heat he asked to go into the cold. The two servants said: “We go, but we will never return. These are our natural dwelling-places.”
There were no more riddles to solve, so the chief and chiefess married and lived royally in that beautiful land of the gods.
