ʻakaʻaka nā magpies

I loko o ko mākou pā hale, ua ʻeha ʻelua mau puaʻa hauʻoli. Me he mea lā, he luuluu ko lākou ola, a ua koi ko lākou ʻano luhi ʻole i ka ʻoliʻoli, a ua hoʻoholo lākou, me ka hui pū ʻana, e lawe i ka ʻoihana o nā ʻano leʻaleʻa i loko o ko lākou mau lima ponoʻī ... nā ʻēheu ... maikaʻi, ma ka laulā, e hana iā lākou iho.

A nānā lākou i ka mea i hoʻopilikia ʻia - kahi pōpoki Angora kūloko, i ke kakahiaka i hele i waho ma ka puka makani papahele mua e hele kaʻawale. Kali lākou a puka ka popoki ma ke ala a noho paha ma luna o ka noho, a laila hoʻomaka ka leʻaleʻa. Hele akahele kekahi o na kanaha ma hope o ka popoki a huki i kona huelo. Huli ukiuki ka popoki i ka mea lawehala, akā i ia manawa ua hana hou ka magpie mai kēlā ʻaoʻao i ka hana like. Huli hou ka pōpoki ... ma ka laulā, maopopo iā ʻoe. He lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ka leʻaleʻa, a i kēlā me kēia manawa ua hoʻomaka nā magpies e ʻakaʻaka ma ke ʻano maoli, a ma hope o ka ʻakaʻaka, lawe hou lākou iā ia i mea ʻeha. A hiki i ka pōki, pau loa, holo i ka hale ma ke ala hilahila loa. Minamina no ka popoki, aka, mahalo na kupua, a ua lealea loa ka ike. Ua leʻaleʻa lākou e like me kēia i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka, a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ka pōpoki i ka puka ʻana ma ka pā - ua haʻalele paha ʻo ia i ka hoʻāʻo hope ʻole e hele i kahi huakaʻi, a neʻe paha i kahi. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu ka mea i hana ʻia i nā magpies. ʻAʻole au i ʻike hou iā lākou ma ka pā. Ua neʻe paha lākou e noho i kahi ululāʻau kokoke, a i ʻole ua loaʻa paha iā lākou kahi mea hou i kekahi wahi.
