The Cruising Chiefs of Kona By Keonaona Kapun-Reynolds ‘Ahi season has arrived!! Hūlō, hūlō! The Canoes of the chief are prepared, the fishing equipment and whatever else because the chiefs are going cruising. Between the months of May and August there is a kapu on ‘Ahi. This is a time of celebration for the chiefs of the counties of Kona and Ka‘ū and its fishing season. In the early morning this chiefs awaken and prepare for their fishing trip. Within these chiefs going fishing for ‘Ahi, were Pākaua and Pākalani, some chief. They thought to play with riddles to see who was the smartest amongst them. Pākaua starts saying, “The ‘Ahi is running, and I will pull in the “Ahi with the long tail fro the sea. This is the one Long-tailed ‘Ahi swimming in the sea.” The line was released into the water, and in no time at all, The Long-tailed ‘Ahi was pulled from the sea. Pākaua is the winner. He tells Pākalani, here is my fish, the Long-tailed ‘Ahi of the sea.” Pākalani replies, “That isn’t the ending, I have an ‘Ahi, and ‘Ahi with a long-tail” He drops two lines into the water, after some time went by, he pulled then up and into the boat, and two fish were seen, it was an ‘Ahi fish and a fish with a long tail. Pākalani also won. Pākaua jealousy increased and he challenged Pākalani saying, “Let’s race to the beach and the first one to reach there is the winner.” Pākaua then told his men to paddle hard to the beach as fast as they could. Pākalani on the other hand waited, and when he saw a wave come in going to the beach, he told his men to ride the wave. As Pākaua’s men were paddling strongly, Pākalani was floating quickly to see, and he is the one who won. It is seen that if people think before they act they may just win. |
