Droopsnout: Hun...Heo...Wait, wait, it upside down , turn over!
Kekoa: Hun?.......hun......hiki no.
Droopsnout: 'A ole! is backwords, turn! turn!...Damn Gil, I tell him never fight real people empty handed.
Kekoa: Uncle Luhenuku, where is your slave Kili?
Droopsnout: He have to work at Hale Chalana Arroy until arm grow back.....Heo, leave like that ...I think it working. . . Hun.....I Droopsnout of Rockhopper Clan remember fourth claw to say to Lunar Long-Speaking guys. Fourth claw is story, go like this:
Weeks and seasons and years ago, soon after Waha bring Way to Prax, Fireant, Warbeetle grub and Rainbow-wing Jewel-eye hide under rock from Stalk-and- stab bird. Jewel-eye very angry. He say, "I tired to hide under rock, I say we go, tell stalk-and-stab bird to leave us alone. I say we tell him we make war if he not leave us alone." Jewel-eye very angry, flap beautiful wings, wave feelers, eyes glisten, talk on for long time like that. At end he look at Ant and Grub and say, "Your people hurt by Stalk-and-stab too. Come with me, tell him we all make war if he not go away." Ant look at Grub and Jewel-eye then say, "My sisters tell me is injured Stalk-and-stab in gully, it get weak, after only few burns will make food for whole clan. I must go help. Sorry, cannot go with you now. When you make war call, maybe we come." Then Fireant leave by small hole. Warbeetle Grub look at Jewel-eye then say, "Grubs gather under skullbush over there. Is stalk-and-stab nest in low branches. Is so low we can climb to it after bird leave, but before sun get hot. I must go get share of food so I strong enough to go to war soon. I cannot go with you now. If you make war call, maybe we come." Then grub crawl away under sand. Jewel-eye still mad. He think up big talk to say to Stalk-and-stab bird. Then fly out from under rock on beautiful wings. But, Stalk-and-stab bird waiting quiet on rock, he eat up Rainbow-wing Jewel-eye in one bite. Hun...That forth claw.
Kekoa: Uncle Luhenuku, I ve never seen a Rainbow-wing Jewel-eye. What are they like?
Droopsnout: Hun....Not know, have never seen, all dead since weeks and seasons and years ago.
