The ‘Anae Driven Sea of Ke‘ehi By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds In olden days a lot of ‘Anae ran in Ke‘ehi bay. Because of this a saying was created, “The ‘Anae driving sea of Ke‘ehi,” meaning that when the fish came close to the sand, the children would beat the water with vines and the ‘Anae would jump onto the sand. However, while the fish were running, a lot of children jumped in and beat the water to scare the ‘Anae, unknowingly they scared the whole school of ‘Anae on the shore and no more ‘Anae was seen swimming in the sea. After playing, the children took home enough ‘Anae for their family and the rest of the fish was left on the shore as food for the crabs and dogs. The ‘Anae never ran through Ke‘ehi again because so many fish were wasted on the shore and when the children went out again to beat the waters for more fish, there were no fish to jump ashore. The children returned home and told there parents that the ‘Anae were no longer swimming and the parents told there children, “Don’t worry there’s a lot more food on land.” But the parents didn’t know of the upcoming drought that would soon hit. For months there was no rain and the food supply was quickly diminishing for the people and life forms of Ke‘ehi. After a while the only food left was a small piece of dried kalo that the parents had, so they gave their last piece to the children. The children decided to go down to sea and share their last piece of food. However before they could eat the taro, a small skinny ‘Anae jumped onto the sand. The eldest child took the last piece of taro and softened it in the salt water, fed it to the ‘Anae, and put the fish back into the water. The children went home to bed, but the next morning they heard a familiar sound coming from the ocean. They ran quickly to shore and saw the ‘Anae coming in towards Ke‘ehi. The children jumped into the water with vines, but this time they only took enough fish to feed the family. Because of this good deed done by the children the sky soon cried and the land was plentiful once more. |
