Eh, you folks ova dare get one great website! I get couple
pictures dat I tink would be good fo your da kine, Scenic Avenue
section.
Small
kid time, I used to walk to school from my house
in Hawaii Kai to Kamiloiki. On da way was this
rubbish can under one skinny tree dat I used to
kick around and make dents. Ho, dat ting smelled
so bad too, cuz of all da stale-old beer cans
leff behind from construction workers. Pilau! I
tell you!
But
anywayz, as I got older, dat small tree got biggah and biggah until
da whole tree when envelop dat rubbish can! Honest, I kid you not!
Dat was ova tirdy-years ago!! If you look good, you still can
see a little of it showing tru da tree trunk. I promise you can!
Only small-kine tho.
Da
tree stay at da bottom of da Hawaii Kai hill. You know da one? Its
at da corner of Lunalilo Home Road and Hawaii Kai Drive.
Hope
you folks like da story and pictures!
Mahaloz,
Elmo Kekaa
Waimanalo, Hawaii.
Need
translation?
It
seems that Elmo Kekaa used to walk to school and
on the way, hed kick a trash can that was under
a small tree located at Lunalilo Home Road and
Hawaii Kai Dr. After 30 years, that trash can
ended up being consumed by that tree. Today, if
you look closely, you can see some of the can
showing through its roots and tree trunk.
WOW!
Great story Elmo! Thanks 'eh.
