The record — long form
Waianapanapa is the black — the 'Pailoa' that's the sand, the 'glistening waters' that's the name. The 'Popoalaea' is the princess — the 'cave' that's the hid, the 'red shrimp' that's the blood. The 'Kakae' is the husband — the 'cruel' that's the found her, the 'kahili' that's the betrayed reflection.
The 'lava' is the tubes — the 'sea caves' that's the carved, the 'blowhole' that's the spout. The 'trail' is the ancient — the 'Kings Highway' that's the Hana, the 'heiau' that's the above. Waianapanapa is the reservation — the 'first Hawaii' that's the required, the 'crowds' that's the capped.
The file keeps Waianapanapa: the black sand, the Popoalaea legend, the lava tubes, and the capped crowds.
