The surfing Pāku‘iku‘i of sea By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds Within the sea near the coral reef is where you can see fish of all colors surfing the waves crashing on the coral reef. You will also see different shapes just like that of the pāku‘iku‘i. The pāku‘iku‘i has a black body and near his tail is an orange circle. Inside this circle is a sharp barb that is very sore when it cuts a body. One day, as these fish were surfing on the waves eating the limu of that area, there surfing was seen by some of the men that were eating there. The fat man then said, “Do you guys see that long Pāku‘iku‘i swimming in the sea?” They all said yes and the fat man continued. “That is my fish. I bet my fish and poi that when the big wave comes in, the long Pāku‘iku‘i is going to be the first one to reach the seaweed shelf. The skinny man heard this talk and said, “I see your fish and poi and here is mine. However I bet that the short fish will be the winner.” All the men started to gamble such as the bald man, the hairy man and the tall man and they all picked their Pāku‘iku‘i. Their fish and poi was the prize to the winning man. When the big wave arrived. They were all watching their own fish, however they weren’t aware of the closeness of the wave. The wave grew big and wet all of their food and the food was taken by the big wave. From then on no man has ever gambled anywhere near the water. |
