I kekahi manawa ua ‘ike ‘ia nā ‘ano pūpū like ‘ole e pa‘a pū ana i ke koholā. ‘O ke koholā waiwai loa ‘o ia ho‘i ke koholā me nā pī‘oe a limu he nui wale. A ma kēia ‘ohana koholā ‘o ia ke koholā kahiko loa, me ke alaka‘i o ia ‘ohana. In the great big Pacific Ocean lived and dwelled some whales. The only problem between these whales was that they liked to wear beautiful and decorative items on their body. The most common thing seen was the barnacle. / Lots of whales were seen decorated with barnacles all over their bodies. Sometimes different shells were also seen attached to the whales. The richest whale was the one with the most barnacles and seaweed. In this pod of whales it was the eldest whale that was also the leader of the pod. Ua ho‘oholo kēia koholā, inā e makemake ana nā koholā e noho ma kēia ‘ohana, pono lākou e ho‘onaninani i ko lākou kino. ‘A‘ohe koholā ma kēia ‘ohana i kaula‘i ‘ole ‘ia e ka limu a i ‘ole kekahi ‘ohana pī‘oe ma ko lākou kua. Hō ka nui o ka ‘aka‘aka ma ka moana i ka wā i holo ai kēia ‘ohana a puni o ka moana. This whale decided that if the other whales wanted to live in this pod they had to decorate their bodies. There was no whale in the pod who wasn’t decorated with limu and who didn’t house a family of barnacles on his back. There was an immense amount of laughter directed at the pod whenever they went around the ocean. I kekahi lā, ua ‘ōlelo ke alaka‘i, inā ua hiki i kekahi o lākou ke ho‘onaninani aku iā ia iho i ‘oi aku kona u‘i ma muli o ke alaka‘i, e lilo ana ia koholā, i alaka‘i, ‘oiai he koholā kahiko loa ‘o ia. No laila i kēlā me kēia lā ua ho‘ā‘o nā koholā e ho‘onaninani iā lākou iho a paikau i mua o ke alaka‘i. Ho‘okahi wale nō pilikia, ‘o ia ka hiki ‘ole o ke koholā ke paikau hou no ka mea inā ‘a‘ole i ‘oi aku kona u‘i ma mua o ke alaka‘i, ua pono ‘o ia e ha‘alele a noho i kahi ‘ē One day, the leader said if one of them could dress up and be more magnificent then he was, then that whale could become the leader, since the leader was getting older. So everyday one of the whales would try and dress themselves up and parade in front of the leader. There was only one problem; the whale didn’t have a second chance. When the whale lost because he wasn’t more beautiful than the leader he had to leave and live somewhere else. Ma hope o kekahi manawa ua ha‘alele nei ka nui o nā koholā a ua emi mai nei ka nui o nā heluna koholā o kēia ‘ohana. ‘Ōlelo koke kekahi o lākou, inā ‘a‘ole lanakila kekahi o kēia mau keiki e pilikia ana ka ‘ohana a ‘a‘ole e lawa ana ka heluna o kākou e pi‘i hou i uka. No laila puka aku kekahi o nā luāhine koholā a ‘ōlelo aku i kona mau hoa aloha, ‘o ia ho‘i nā i‘a umaumalei. Nīnau aku ‘o ia iā lākou e lei aku i kāna mo‘opuna ke holo aku ‘o ia i mua o ke alaka‘i. I kekahi lā a‘e i kona mo‘opuna e holo ana i mua o ke alaka‘i, holo pū mai kekahi mau i‘a umaumalei a kaula‘i aku i ka ‘ā‘ī o ke koholā. He lei umaumalei kona.

After awhile most of the whales of this pod were leaving. One of them quickly said, if one of these children don’t win the pod wouldn’t have enough numbers to migrate up north. So one of the old woman whales talked to her friends who were the Umaumalei. She asked them to lei her grandson when he parades in front of the leader. The next day when her grandson was swimming in front of the leader, the Umaumalei swam around and formed themselves as a lei around the neck of the whale. It was an Umaumalei lei. The nose of a fish was attached to the tail of another and it continued on in this fashion until the whale was surrounded with glittery fish. There was no comparison to the beauty of the grandson and he won. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua ho‘i hou nā koholā i hā‘ule i ke alaka‘i a laila ua holo hou ka ‘ohana i ka ‘ākau me ka palekana. After awhile the whales that lost came back and the family migrated north safely.” Kekahi ‘Ike Hou A‘e / More Information Inoa Hawai‘i: ‘Ōkohekohe, Pī‘oe, Pī‘oe‘oe / Hawaiian Name: ‘Ōkohekohe, Pī‘oe, Pī‘oe‘oe Inoa Pelekānia: Barnacles / English Name: Barnacles Inoa ‘Epekema: Class Cirripedia / Scientific Name: Class Cirripedia Kona ‘ano: Ke makua ka pī‘oe, pili pa‘a lākou i ka pōhaku a i ‘ole kekahi ‘ano mea ma kai no ko lākou ola holo‘oko‘a.

Description: When the pī‘oe is mature it attaches itself to rocks or other things in the sea for their whole life span. The organs and limbs are inside of the shell. If the shell is in bothered, everything goes into the shell and the two shells of the pī‘oe clamp together until it is closed. ‘Ikepili Hoihoi: ‘Oi aku ka pili o ka pī‘oe i ka ‘ohana ‘ōpae ma muli o ka ‘ohana ‘opihi. Ke pēpē ka pī‘oe, he mau ‘ōpae li‘ili‘i lākou e holo ana ma ke kai. Interesting Fact: The pī‘oe is more closely related to the shrimp family rather than the limpet family. When the pī‘oe are babies they look like little shrimp swimming in the water. / Ku’ula Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 01 June 2009 18:49:19 / Tv Shutter Speed 1/60 Av / Aperture Value 5.6 ISO 100 / exposure bias F/1.0 / Shutter Speed 1/60 second / Focal Length 28.0mm / Metering Mode: Pattern / f5.6 / White Balance Cloudy Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
