He kau wela a loli ke kauwela. Wahi a nā kānaka a pau, ua like ke kauwela me ka helehelena o ka pēpē a e loli nō ia. Ke hauʻoli, e ʻālohilohi ana ka lā. Ke kaumaha, peʻe ka lā i loko o nā ao a uē malū. I ka wā i huhū ai, aia nā ao ʻeleʻele, ka uila a me ka hekili, a ua nui ka ua. He kolohe ke kauwela!

Ua hiki mai ke kauwela, a he nani loa ka loko ma Linghu!
Ua ʻike au i nā pua lotus nani e pua ana i loko o ka loko. He ʻulaʻula, he poni, he ʻulaʻula e like me ke ahi, he poni e like me ka noe. He hapalua hāmama kekahi, he piha kekahi, a he iwi pua kekahi. He poepoe a he ʻōmaʻomaʻo nā lau lotus. Ua wili ʻia kekahi i luna mai loko mai o ka wai, e like me ka umbrella nui; ua lana haʻahaʻa kekahi ma luna o ka wai, e like me ka waʻa lau lotus ʻōmaʻomaʻo. He "mamao a kokoke, kiʻekiʻe a haʻahaʻa".
ʻO ka loko i ke kauwela e huki ana i nā holoholona liʻiliʻi a pau. ʻIke akula au i nā pulelehua e lele ana ma luna o ka loko, me he mea lā e hula ana lākou i kahi hula nani; hele maila hoʻi nā manu, e kani ana ma luna o ka lotus, me he mea lā e ʻōlelo ana: "E ke kaikuahine Lotus, aloha! Aloha!" Lele akula ka dragonfly liʻiliʻi a pāʻani ma luna o ka ʻōpuʻu o ka pua lotus. ʻOiaʻiʻo nō ia "he mau pepeiaohao ʻoi ko ka lotus liʻiliʻi, a ua kū mua ka dragonfly ma luna o kona poʻo." ʻAuʻau hauʻoli ana a puni, me he mea lā e ʻōlelo ana, "He mea maikaʻi ke kauwela!"

ʻO ka pō kauwela, ka lani mālamalama piha i nā hōkū. Makemake mau au e nānā i ka lani hōkū nani.
E nānā, ke ʻālohilohi nei nā hōkū helu ʻole e like me nā pōhaku makamae makamae, a ua like ka lani ākea me kahi pale nui. I kekahi manawa ua like nā hōkū liʻiliʻi me nā pōhaku makamae i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka pale polū, e ʻālohilohi ana me kahi kukui palupalu; i kekahi manawa ua like lākou me nā maka liʻiliʻi e ʻālohilohi ana, e ʻimi ana i kahi mea ma ka honua.

ʻO ka lani hōkū i ka pō kauwela he honua manuahi, ʻaʻole lākou e haʻi mai iaʻu i ko lākou mau kaha, ko lākou mau manaʻo, ko lākou ʻano, a ʻaʻole lākou e ʻike maopopo iā ʻoe i ko lākou helehelena, e hana wale lākou i kahi wahi noʻonoʻo no ʻoe, e ʻae iā ʻoe e noʻonoʻo, e hana, a e kūkulu ʻoe!
