Papio
Long ago on the island of Maui. There was an elderly woman stringing
two beautiful leis for her keiki [grandchildren]. One day a beautiful
lady came to the beach to surf when she saw the woman stringing her
leis and said “one of those leis would look beautiful on me.”
The woman ignored the lady's rudeness and continued stringing. The
lady was upset and went surfing, about two hours later the lady came
back from the beach and saw the woman leaving. The lady quickly snatched
a lei and laid on a rock too show her beauty letting her hair fall
in the water. Papio the shark goddess was filled with anger as she
saw the lady snatch the lei from her friend. Her friend had worked
all day on those leis too. Papio sent her guards to grab her by her
hair. Her blood stained the sand of beach. The woman was shocked and
Papio never harmed to hurt people again.
