Hawaiian Historical Legends, The Sons of Kii, sentence 52

The king had turned his eyes for a moment toward Ulu and had caught the joy flashing from his eyes when he heard of his brother’s speedy coming, then, looking down upon Taunoa, who had prostrated himself as soon as his message was delivered, simply said:

Who acts: king, joy, Taunoa · What happens: turn, catch, flash, hear, come, look down · To what, where: eyes, joy, king, message · Speech: someone speaks here
