Akā, ua maʻa nō ʻo Konanui i ka ʻai kalo paʻa, a ʻo ka moni kūpono nō ka hana. E like me kāna hana mau, lawe ʻo ia i ke kalo paʻa, a hana i poi ʻulika, i poi linalina ʻono maikaʻi, he hua no ka hana maiau. Ua huliāmahi mai nā mahiʻai kalo like ʻole o ka paeʻāina, e alakaʻi i paio e kūʻē ai i kēia hana ʻino ʻana i ke kalo. ʻAʻole loa ʻo Konanui i hiki aku i ke ʻano ao kahi. ʻOi kaʻakaʻa nō nā maka, a hala kēia hulu kūpuna.
