^w^ One day, Kamahoalii, the king of all sharks in the Hawaiian Islands, fell in love with a beautiful maiden, turned himself into a man, and married the young woman.
^w^ Their child accidentally learned the magic of turning himself into a shark and, as a shark, he devoured many islanders.
^w^ When he was caught, his body was cut to pieces with knives made from the bamboo in a sacred grove.
^w^ The angry gods took the sharpness from the bamboo in the sacred grove so that, even today, the bamboo in this grove is not strong enough to cut.
