The smart boy and the stupid boy Retold by Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds Two boys lived in the flats of Nukole between Hanamaulu and the Wailoa stream. Their names were Wa‘awa‘aikina‘auao the smart one and Wa‘awa‘aikina‘aupō the stupid one. One day, they went fishing for birds. The smart one said to the stupid one, “This is how we shall fish for birds. If you see a bird with 2 eyes, that is my mark, and that will be my bird.” Wa‘awa‘aikina‘aupō thinks for a while and says, “Can do! If we catch a bird that has one eye, that is my bird!” Every time they caught a bird, they all had 2 eyes, so Wa‘awa‘aikina‘auao got all the birds. When the stupid one caught a bird, he quickly gave it to the smart one because he never saw any birds with one eye. When they went home, the stupid one told his mother what his brother did to him and the mother told him what to do. When they fished for birds again, the stupid one pulled out all the feathers and gave the featherless bird to his brother. When Wa‘awa‘aikina‘auao returned home with the birds, Wa‘awa‘aikina‘aupō rubbed himself with gum and rolled around in the feathers and chased after his brother saying, “Kulu-kulu, ‘I am the god of the birds and I’m going to eat you!” When the smart one heard this he released the birds and ran home. After the stupid one cleaned up he collected all the birds and gave them to his mother. One day they decided to go fishing for Mā‘i‘i‘i in the sea and the smart one said, “All the Mā‘i‘i‘i with 2 eyes are mine and the others are yours.” Whenever the stupid one caught a fish with 2 eyes he gave it to his brother, however at the end of the fishing, he caught a fish with one eye and that is what he took home. |
