The Sand Eating Weke By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds In a coral reef in the sea was born a Weke named Weke‘umi‘umiho‘okahi. When he was born he only had one barbel and that is what he used to get his food from inside the sand. He saw the other Weke digging into the sand so he copies them and digs in the sand but no food came out of the sand. After not getting any food he went down into the coral and slept in the sea. The next day, he returns to where the other Weke were and sees them shaking their heads. The Weke were shaking their heads and the sand was seen jumping all over the place around them so Weke‘umi‘umiho‘okahi copies what the other Weke were doing. He digs into the sand and shakes his head like the other Weke however he didn’t get any fish. He returns again to the coral and eats some kind of limu that was growing there. The next day he returned to where the Weke were and this time he was the Weke digging into the sand like they were looking for food, and after they got the food they shook their head to get the sand out of their mouth. The sand came out of their gills, and that is why the sand billowed out around the other Weke. Weke‘umi‘umiho‘okahi decides to do what the other Weke are doing, and digs into the sand, he shakes his head to get all the sand out of his gills. And when all the sand was gone he had some kind of food in his mouth. He was so excited that he continued doing what he was doing to get the food out of the sand. Because the Weke was aware and observed what the other Weke were doing, he got food. He tried and tried again until he got food. This is the story of Weke‘umi‘umiho‘okahi. |
