Once, in Kalalau, the north shore of Kauai. There was a father named Nā'iwi and he had two kids named Hikimaunalei and Kuapōhaku. They lived in the caves of Kalalau.

* Children's Laughter*

One day Hiki-maunalei and Kuapōhaku heard the laughter of the kids in Kalalau and wanted to

 go out and play with them. Their father 

refused to let them go.

Please, can we go?

No, I do not want you going!!

Nā'iwi felt bad leaving the kids clueless about why he did not want them going out and playing with the children of Kalalau. Nā'iwi then asked his children if they remembered their mother. Kuapōhaku and Hikimaunalei replied no.

Kids, do you remember your mother?

No, we do not.

Nā'iwi then explained the story of how their mother wanted to be friends with the women of Kalalau. Nā'iwi couldn't say anything that would make her stay.  One day she left and never returned.

The children refused to believe the story their dad told them of their mother. Kuapōhaku said that bones can't turn into stone.

The kids wanted to watch the kids of Kalalau so badly. A part of them did not want to leave the cave because the sun would start to rise soon. Hikimaunalei and Kuapōhaku decided they could beat the sunrise so they would sneak out.

Lets go before the sun rises soon!

Nā-'iwi noticed his children were gone and nowhere to be found in the cave.

Hiki and Kua used the banana trees to slide down into the village. 

Hiki whispered to Kua " The children are sleeping in there, they play during the day when we sleep, we must go back." They realized it'll be a long way back home.

They couldn't help but pick some Akala berries on their way home. These berry bushes cover the whole valley, and that is how the valley got its name.

As they returned home and laid on their beds, the sound of the children's laughter reached them, they wanted to go back down and check it out.

*Haha*

They hurried and gathered bananas to give to the women of Kalalau and headed back down to the village.

Come on let's go!

As the children of Kalalau played in the moonlight, Kua and Hiki watched them until their arms got tired from holding the bananas. Happiness filled them both as they realized they could play with them.

They came close to the children and was shy and embarrassed. Yet the children gave them a loud welcome, and they played a swift game of tag.

Welcome!
