O ka Elepani ka mea nui o na mea wawae eha a pau Ina e ku kekahi kanaka maluna o ke poo o kekahi, alaila, like ko laua kiekie me ko ka Elepani. Ewalu kapuai ke kiekie o kekahi, a he umikumamalima ko kekahi. Aole i like ke ano o ka Elepani me ko kekahi ilio e. Ua kiekie kuna kua, a ua kuapuu; aole hoi i like me ke Kamelo.

Haawi aku no ia i na kauwa e lawelawe no lakou; a e holoi aku ia lakou i ka wai i malamaia maloko o na hakeke kala. Ua hoonaniia lakou i na gula pepeiao a me na apo gula, a me na daimana a me na mea maikai. I ka wa i hele aku ai ke alii, hele aku keia mau Elepani imua ona. Aole lakou i hoohanaia, aole loa. I ka wa i hele aku ai ke alii e ike ia lakou ma ko lakou hale, kukuli lakou imua ona, a oia no kekahi i kukuli imua o lakou. Aole i kukuli ia mau Elepani ia hai, i ke alii wale no. no ka mea, pela lakou i aoia aku ai.
