Ua haʻi aku kaʻu kāne i kahi moʻolelo e pili ana i kahi hui hau kalima ma ka māla o kona ʻohana i kona wā kamaliʻi. ʻO kona ʻohana a me kekahi mau hoaaloha e noho ana ma waho e leʻaleʻa i ka lewa maikaʻi a me ka ʻai ʻana i ka hau hau i hana ʻia i ka home - ʻo ke ʻano i hana ʻia me kahi churn lāʻau kahiko e pono ai ʻoe e ʻoki no nā hola. ʻO ke kauwela kiʻekiʻe ia, akā ʻo Kansas kāʻei Baibala kēia a ua huli ke kamaʻilio ʻana i nā hoʻomaikaʻi a ke Akua. Hoʻomaka ka poʻe a pau e kaʻana like i kāna mea i mahalo ai, e like me ka nui o mākou e hana a puni ka papa ʻaina Hoʻomaikaʻi. Mahalo nui ka poʻe mākua no nā kīʻaha nui o ka hau, ka maikaʻi o ka wā no nā mea kanu, nā hana i uku maikaʻi ʻia, nā keiki olakino, a me nā mea nui ʻē aʻe. I ka manawa o David liʻiliʻi, ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "Mahalo wau no ka wai!" Ua ʻakaʻaka maikaʻi ka poʻe mākua i ke keiki liʻiliʻi e leʻaleʻa ana i ke kīʻaha ice cream i hana ʻia ma ka home akā mahalo no ke aniani wai āna e inu pū ai. Akā iā David, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻoliʻoli ʻana o ka wai i ka ice cream ma ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i kona waha ma waena o nā nahu.
Manaʻo paha mākou he poʻe mākua ua loaʻa iā mākou ka mahalo holoʻokoʻa, i ka liʻiliʻi loa ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā keiki. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻike mākou (no ka hapa nui) e ʻōlelo "mahalo" ke hāʻawi mai kekahi iā mākou i makana a hana paha i kahi mea maikaʻi no mākou. ʻIke mākou i ke ʻano kūpono a me nā huaʻōlelo no nā kāleka mahalo. ʻIke mākou i ke ʻano o nā mea e pono ai mākou e mahalo no kēlā me kēia Hoʻomaikaʻi ke helu mākou i kā mākou mau pōmaikaʻi a puni ka papa ʻaina. ʻO nā keiki, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, pono e koi pinepine ʻia e ʻōlelo mahalo. A pono lākou e noi, hoʻopunipuni, a kiʻi ʻia i ke kākau ʻana i nā kāleka mahalo. Inā loaʻa iā lākou kahi makana pālua, e hōʻike paha lākou i nā mea a pau (leo nui) ua ʻōlelo mua lākou i ka mea (a ʻaʻole makemake nui ia).
ʻIke loa, loaʻa i nā mākua ma luna o nā keiki i ke ʻano o ka mahalo. Akā, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka nui o ka mahalo ma mua o ke ʻano? ʻAʻole ʻike paha nā keiki i nā huaʻōlelo kūpono a me ke ʻano kūpono, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o kā lākou ʻike i nā manaʻo ma hope o ka mahalo. Ke ʻōlelo nei ke keiki i ka "mahalo," mahalo maoli ʻoe! Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka hauʻoli o ka lohe ʻana i ka nui o ke aloha o ke keiki i kāu mea i hana ai a hāʻawi paha. Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke puliki maikaʻi ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka ʻaelike, a ʻoiaʻiʻo e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka hauʻoli i ka ʻike ʻana i nā maka ʻālohilohi a me ka minoʻaka nui i hāʻawi ʻia iā ʻoe. He aha ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi?
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka hoihoi o nā keiki i kā lākou mahalo ma mua o nā mākua. Mahalo ka poʻe mākua no ka mea ʻo ia ka ʻōlelo kūpono. Kāohi ʻia mākou a hoʻopono. ʻOiai ʻoliʻoli maoli mākou i kahi makana a i ʻole hana aloha, ʻaʻole pinepine mākou e hōʻike piha i ko mākou hauʻoli.
Hiki i nā mākua ke aʻo nui i nā keiki e pili ana i ka hoʻomaikaʻi, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka pili ʻana i ka etiquette. Akā he nui nā keiki e aʻo mai iā mākou. E lawe kākou i kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no nā kamaliʻi a e hoʻomāhuahua loa ko kākou mahalo i kēia kau Hoʻomaikaʻi!
