When Aukelenuiaiku reached the bottom of the pit, he found two men already there, having been thrown into the pit but a short time before this, by the cruel brothers of Aukelenuiaiku. When the two men saw Aukelenuiaiku, they took pity on him because he was so handsome and pleasant to look upon, having a perfect physique, and being without blemish. While the two were talking together, Aukelenuiaiku heard them and so he asked them: “What are you two talking about?” They answered: “We are expressing our regrets because we pity you.” When Aukelenuiaiku heard this he asked them: “And why?” The men replied: “Because of the death by the great lizard, Kamooinanea.” Aukelenuiaiku again asked: “When will the lizard come forth?” The men replied: “When the tide rises and falls, then rises and falls again, and when it comes up the third time, then the lizard comes up with it; then we will all be killed.” Some time after this conversation, the lizard, Kamooinanea, made its appearance, and called out: “Say, Aukelenuiaiku, let me have one of the men for food.” Aukelenuiaiku said: “If I were to give you one of these men, who will attend to my wants in this lonely place?” The lizard then disappeared from their sight. When they saw the lizard and how terrible it looked they were sore afraid, and the two men began to show signs of uneasiness. After the lizard had disappeared from their sight, the men said to Aukelenuiaiku: “How wonderful! here this lizard is acquainted with your name. This is the first time that the lizard has not come and devoured its prey outright. We were told that immediately the lizard made its appearance, it would come and devour its victims; but here we see that we are safe for a time. Should it disappear altogether, we will escape death.” While the men were still conversing the lizard again made its appearance and called out: “Say, Aukelenuiaiku, let me have one of the men.” Aukelenuiaiku again refused, saying: “No, you cannot have one of them.” When the lizard heard this it said: “You must give me one of the men. What are you going to pay me for coming here? Because you have been given to me to be killed and that I should devour you, but since I have found out that you are one of those that have gone out of my own body, I cannot eat you up.” When the lizard concluded, Aukelenuiaiku gave his consent, for he thought within himself that the request of his lizard grandmother, Kamooinanea, should be granted. He then gave one of the men to the lizard. As soon as the man was offered, he was swallowed whole. After this first man was consumed the lizard again asked that the second man be given her. Aukelenuiaiku again gave the second man, and he too was swallowed whole. After the second man was consumed there was left only Aukelenuiaiku. The lizard then came out of the sea and laid on the dry sand.
