Excerpt from Legends of Old Honolulu: Collected and Translated From the Hawaiian
The legends of a people are of interest to the scholar, the thinker, and the poet.
The legends tell us of the struggles, the tri umphs, and the wanderings of the people, of their thoughts, their aspirations; in short, they give us a twilight history of the race.
