At Kekaa lived Maui and Moemoe ; the great desire of one was to sleep ; his head on the pillow, there he would lie until Welehu
(November) became the month. This person was Moemoe. The other desired to travel. When Moemoe slept, Maui was
traveling, each according to his taste. While Moemoe was sleeping a freshet came down and covered him with debris, with the exception of his nostrils ; a kukui nut however, rested on his nostrils and commenced to grow.It grew tall and at the same time tickled the nostrils of Moemoe ; so he awoke and said : « here I am at my favorite pastime, asleep, and yet i am awakened by this cursed kukui tree. »So he made up his mind to give up this to which he was addicted and to search for his friend, Maui.
A road on the northeast side of Kekaa was named after one for these men; it is called « ke alanui kikeekee a Maui »- the zigzag pathway of Maui. The first one who trode this pathway , however, was Eleio, the fast runner of Kaaleneo(Kakaalaneo), the excellent king of that period.
