This mysterious legend tells how a Chieffess’ people suffer from a great drought. She sought help from her Kahuna who gave assistance but not as soon as the chiefess had hoped. Why was that? Why did the Chieffess have to wait before receiving help for her people? Well this brings us to another question.
