SNOW GODDESS OF MAUNAKEA, EXTRAORDINARILY BEAUTIFUL BUT OH SO COLD.
NOTORIOUS FOR INVOLVING HERSELF IN THE RELATIONSHIPS OF OTHERS.
FOR A SHORT WHILE SHE WAS MARRIED TO AIWOHI KUPUA, THE SEMI DIVINE PRINCE FROM KAUAI, WHO ALSO GREW WEARY OF HER UNFAITHFULNESS.
HE DECIDES TO LEAVE HER AND SO POLIAHU CALLS OUT TO HIM SAYING HUI, E HOI MAI, E HOI MAI, E KUU IPO.
COME BACK RETURN TO ME MY SWEETHEART.
AND AIWHOI KUPUA TURNS TO HER AND SAYS LATERS.
END OF STORY.
BUT THE STORY HAS GROWN INTO A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND THIS SONG INTO A BEAUTIFUL HULA.
THIS IS THE LOVE STORY OF THE GODDESS AND THE PRINCE POLIAHU.
