The ‘Ehu That Was Afraid of the Dark By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds There was once an ‘Ehu who was swimming in the Pacific Ocean. Usually the ‘Ehu, enter caves where they find food. However Ka‘ehu, the ‘Ehu didn’t want to enter the dark cave, so he decided to swim all over the sea world to find somebody that could help him with his fear of dark places. He swam to all the tidepools and talked with Pipipi, “Eh Pipipi! How do you live in that dark shell of yours? Aren’t you afraid of the dark inside of that shell?” Pipipi answered, “I am not afraid. This shell of mine keeps me safe from the waves of the sea. This is my home and when I look inside of my home I see tiny stars that are shinning upon me.” Ka‘ehu ponders for a while if he should enter the shell but he ran away because he was still afraid of the dark. He swam around until he met a Puhi swimming around and he saw the Puhi enter his home surrounded by shell fragments. He slowly crept up to Puhi’s home and whispered, “Eh Puhi! I am afraid of the dark. Are you not afraid of the darkness in your home?” Then Puhi replied, “I am not afraid. It would probably be a good idea if you were to come inside the darkness of my mouth!” And with this the Puhi leaped out of his hole and chased Ka‘ehu all over the ocean. Ka‘ehu swam and swam from the Puhi until he reached his own dark scary cave and swam towards it, because it is no fun to be chased by an eel. He swam in his dark cave and hid from the Puhi. When the Puhi passed Ka‘ehu, he didn’t see Ka‘ehu and he didn’t think that scaredy cat Ka‘ehu would go into the dark cave so he went back to his home. From then on, Ka‘ehu wasn’t afraid of the dark, he was just afraid of the Puhi that wanted to eat him. |
