So now, I’m back again to tell you some things that I heard, that I kept from the older people about Tailahalahaodengadubua. This is the story of Tailahalahaodengadubua.

One day, there was a married couple. They were going to Senugu to pick some food for themselves. And his wife was pregnant. When they went to Senugu, the woman had to go to the bathroom. So she went to the water. She went down to the water at Senugu and swam there, and did her business. But when she was doing that, she miscarried a blood clot. So she got out of the water and went to shore, and went to pick her taro, and that blood clot drifted on and on and on and went over the house of Tailahalahaodengadubua.

So Tailahalahaodengadubua went over and brought the blood clot and he bathed it. He bathed it and bathed it, and he brought everything and bathed it in strength and power, and he bathed that blood clot until it became a child, with the body of a person. The woman’s husband, his name was Mulidoloa. And as Tailahalahaodengadubua bathed it, he bathed that blood clot into a child, into a real man, into a full grown child, and he went to search for Mulidoloa. For him to come and take their child.

So Mulidoloa came and he said, “This is our child, take him and go, I’m finished caring for him. And this is the name of our child. It is the combination of our two names. Your name is Mulidoloa. My name is Tailahalahaodengadubua. And so he will be called Dologitai. Dolo, from Mulidoloa. And tai, from Tailahalahaodengadubua. So take our child with you, my process of washing him is finished.” So the two of them stayed there. And that person took his child and they left.

One day, the future king wanted to circle the heavens and look at everything and go sightseeing to see what the heavens looked like. So he said to that person that he wanted to take Dologitai and go with him to circle the heavens and see the sights. And Mulidoloa said that this was okay.

And this was what he said. When you two go and make your journey, when you go, there will be spirits that will appear before you, and you must go in front. As you go, there will be shapeshifters that are difficult to defeat, so he will put you behind him. And he will go in front. So that’s how it will be.

When the time came for them to set sail and circle the heavens and take the young chief, they went like that. As they sailed and sailed, there were strong things that the future king could not stand against, so he put him behind him. And he went in front.

As they sailed and sailed, there was a lizard laying across half of the sky and blocking their path, and they weren’t able to go past. So he went and went, and he took the ridge of the coconut palm leaf and he hit the lizard in the back of the head. Then the lizard raised up his head and they sailed under the lizard and went on. So they escaped to the other side, and the lizard said to them, “Who is this? Who do you belong to?” And so he said, “Tailahalahaodengadubua.” So the lizard said, “I surrender.” So Dologitai took the lizard’s powers and his strength became greater.

So the two continued on that way. As they sailed and sailed, there were spirits that came before them, so the young chief allowed him to go in front. So when they passed those spirits, there were monsters, a centipede was laying there. So they went. Then he put the young chief behind him and he went in front. As they went and went, he took the ridge of the coconut palm and struck it into the centipede’s back, and the centipede bent and lifted up his belly, and they went under his belly and went on. And they went to the other side. So the centipede said, “Who do you belong to? Who are you?” So he said, “I am Tailahalahaodengadubua.” So the centipede said, “I surrender.” So he took the centipede’s power. His strength increased.

They continued that way every time they encountered monsters. As they continued to go, in the southern half of the sky, Buadada made his fish trap and set it, and he pulled in fleets of canoes and the fish and every last thing in the sea to the southern half of the sky. So he pulled it in. Everything was inside the net so he pulled and pulled it in. He brought it in and ate it.

So as the two children sailed and sailed, they saw the big net, and they grabbed on to the back of the net. And the person pulled it in. He pulled and pulled and pulled, and when they reached beside, when they got close to him, they lifted the net and pinched the man. That person cried out, “Who is this? Who do you belong to?” And he replied, “I am Tailahalahaodengadubua.” So the person said to him, “I surrender.” So he took Buadada’s powers and added them to his strength. So the two of them went away in that manner.

They came down. They came down there, and ghost in the corner of the sky stood on one leg and lifted the side of the sky there. The ghosts all came and wrestled him. They came to wrestle him but they were not able to make him fall over. They came to wrestle him but they weren’t able to get the leg to move. So he came up and wrestled the one-legged ghost.

As they went up and cut him a little bit, he kicked forcefully and broke the ghost’s leg so that half of the sky would fall down, the earth would become wrong, we would all die, and there would be no way to fix it, the sky would fall down. Then he went over and took one of his arms and thrusted it up into that side of the sky, and he allowed that ghost to make his leg good again, and stand there in his place and stand there well. And the ghost said, “Who do you belong to?” And he said, “I am Tailahalahaodengadubua.” And the ghost said, “I surrender.” So he took the powers of the ghost and his power increased again.

So they continued that way and circled the sky so that the young chief could sightsee, and the two of them returned, they returned and he brought that child back to his parents, the chiefs, and he returned to his home. And so, these are the few things that I heard and know about the story of Tailahalahaodengadubua, and the name of the child that he raised, which was named Dologitai, which was combined from the two names of him and his father Mulidoloa. Those are the things I am able to remember from the story of Dologitai. I am finished. Those are my few things.
