In thus catching the spear Kaoleioku saw not only the dodging of Umi but also the seizure of the spear and holding it in his hand. When Kaoleioku saw these acts performed by Umi, each one followed by the other in such short time, he was much pleased and in praise of Umi said: “O king, I see you have acted wisely in my presence and you have taken heed to my instructions. To you, the king, and to these your men I must say, that I can see how you will hold on to your kingdom. This day I will place myself under your feet and will give you my assured word, O king, that your kingdom will never be taken away from your hands.” Kaoleioku then explained more fully to the people his remarks, as well as to Umi himself. In explanation Kaoleioku said: “I will predict to you what the gods have told me in the matter of the test that we have just seen. By warding off the spear away from you so successfully, so shall trouble be warded off from your kingdom until death overtakes you. Just as you caught the spear and held it at the end, so shall your kingdom fall to your son, your grandson, your issue, your offspring until the very last of your blood.” At the close of the remarks of Kaoleioku Umi asked: “Where are the two old men, Nunu and Kakohe?” Some one answered: “They are here.” Umi then said: “You tell them to come to my presence now.” Upon the arrival of the two old men, Umi said to them: “Have you come?” “Yes,” the old men replied. HOW UMI GAVE LANDS TO NUNU AND KAKOHE, THE OLD MEN. We will here see the wisdom of Umi and his great cunning, in the awarding of lands to the two old men. When Nunu and Kakohe arrived in the presence of Umi he stood up and, accompanied by the two, they started off without telling any one where they were going. On this journey Omaokamau, Koi, Piimaiwaa and a few others accompanied them. They proceeded along the road leading up the cliff out of the valley of Waipio until they arrived on the heights of Koakea, a land adjoining Waipio. At this place Umi said to Nunu, one of the old men: “You run from here toward Hamakua. If you fall, get up and keep on running; if you get tired and sit down, I will kill you.”
