Why Stories"
THUO, the king, had a sister who
married Nanau and went away
with him to live in another part
of the country.
In her old home Kaala had always,
had plenty of fish. but in her new one,
fish were‘scarce and a day came when
not even one could be obtained.

TITLE Tom “was asked to go to
the corner market and get his
mother a fish: .‘5I can't leave the
' home, Tommy," said Ms mother, “be:
cause" father, is going to bring company
home for“ dinner “and, I must séc "to
things. 'But I shall leave the hall door
open and run to lookatyou once in
a while? If I wait for Mr. Smith to
deliver the fish it will be too' .late, as
all his wagons alre‘ou‘t, so I amtrusting
my big boy to go for it.'l
This was Tommy’s first visit to a
store of any kind byhimself and he
was ervy proud of it; As his mother
had telephoned, Mr.“ Smith knew what
he .wanted. and it‘was soon in his
basket. Tommy started for home, but
it seemed a pity now that he .was out
of the house by himself for the first
time to hurry home. ‘ He stopped here
and there on the way and once set his
basket down to pat the head of the
brown dog that lived two doors away.
He saw his mother in the doorway’hnd

decided to, have a game and Dude ,was
the first one at the bat. He played for
an hour, then excused himself.
"Dude- haskto go home,” called out
Billy Johnson. “Can you come to-

said as he put on his sweater. He
played with the boys on the lot for a

Kaala admonished Nanau as she bade
him good-bye.
“Do not take dry fish from my broth-
er, as you would not have strength to
carry enough to last us for any length
of time." ,
When the husband reached the home
of Thuo he asked for some fish for
Kaala.
Thuo then gave him several bundles

and as he traveled along he noticbd
that a school of fish was folldwing the
same way, but in the sea.
He became very tired and disobeying
the commands of Thuo, he sat down
at times to rest, but whenever he did
so, the fish in the breakers seemed to
rest also.
At last he reached his home.
“It is a fish," Tommy said. “Did you
ever see one, Romp?" Romp put his
foot into the basket and scratched at
the paper over the fish. Tom good-nar
turedly pulled the paper aside to let
Romp look at it, and as he was sitting
down, near to it, Tom smelled the fish.

them, so he refused them, telling his
brother-in-law what Kaala had said.
After considering the matter ve'ry
carefully, Thuo’ said to Nanau:
“Return home and go by way of the
Kona side of the island, and do not
stop on the way for any cause what-
eve:.”
' Nanau thanked Thuo ahd taking
leave, set out on his homewa‘rd way.
His path led along by the seashore
“I did," replied her husband, "but
he gave me no' fish, but a curious thing
happened. all‘the way home I saw
great schools, of mullet swimming
along near the shore, going the way
I was walking, and there if you look
out you will see them just in front of
our house l" .
Kaala laughed and said: '
“Why Nanau, those are the fish my
brother has sent us." .
It was even so, and they fished and
got a plentiful supply, and when they
had taken all they needed, the fish
turned and went back to the kingdom
of Thuo.
And to this day does this fish, which
‘is one of the mullet family, take the
same course along the island and after
a certain length of. time returns the
way it came.
