I loko o ka honua, he nui wale nā mea nani a me nā mea'ē a'e, akā,'o nā wahi weliweli loa. 'O kekahi o lākou ka mokupuni'o Puppets, Mekikoka. E nānā pono nā'ōpū o nā'ano weliweli a pau i kēia wahi, a,'o ka maika'i, e kali i ka pō, a laila lilo ka lewa i'oi aku ka hewa ma mua o ka mālamalama o ke ao. Ka moku, a "noho" creepy toys, o kekahi o ka lana mokupuni lede Hawaii Hochimilko ciia, a me 'oe e hiki aku i laila ma luna o ka gondola. Kūlana nā po'e noho i kahi pale, no ka mea, mana'o lākou i nā'uhane, i nā akua a me nā mana'o ho'omana'ē a'e. Inā pololei kou kola, a laila pono ka'ike'ana i ka mokupuni o nā po'e make.
Ma hea i loa'a mai ai kēia mau pūpū puapili, a me ka nui? He mea nui kēia o ka mo'olelo, a he wahi maoli nō. Ua'ā'ili'ili kekahi mea ho'omana o ka ho'omana'o Don Julian Santana i ka hō'ili'ili'ana i nā pāpī palapili ma mua o ka hapalua o nā haneli i hala. 'O ka mea nui paha, ua ho'ā'o'o ia e pani iā lākou me kāna'ohana, no ka mea, ua ha'i'o ia i kahi ku'iku'i, a ua ma'a pinepine'o ia i nā pōhaku me ka po'e ola, nā kānaka mana'o'i'o. Ua hō'ole ho'i kāna Ekalesia iā ia, no laila'a'ohe mea e hana ai, akā, e hō'ili'ili i kāna mau waiwai, a ha'alele i kāna wahine me kāna mau keiki, e hele aku i kekahi o nā moku'o Hochimilko. I lilo'o ia i hermit,'a'ole'o ia i hō'oki i ka hō'ili'ili'ana i kāna koina eneie. 'O kekahi o kāna mau pīpī, ua loa'a iā ia ma kekahi o nā kahawai, kahi i make ai kekahi kaikamahine. Ua lawe'o ia i hō'ailona mai luna, a ho'omaka'ia e kau aku i nā keiki ma nā lā'au a me nā ulu lā'au, e ho'ā'o ana e ho'omaha a ho'omaha i ka'uhane o ke kaikamahine. No laila, ka Moku o Puppets a loa'a kona inoa.
Eia nō ho'i, ka mo'olelo e'ōlelo nei, i ka hala o ka manawa, ua hewa loa kēia kanaka, no ka mea ua'ike'o ia i nā wahi a pau o ka pēpē i make i ka wai, a'o ka mea i koi aku i nā hanana hou. Eia kekahi, ua lohe'o ia i ka leo o nā mea pā'ani, a'o ia ka mea nāna i koi i ka mea like me ke kaikamahine. Ke huhū nei'o Jul Julian i ka huhū, ha'iha'i'ia, ho'olei'ia i nā kānaka i ka'ōpala, nā pups. Ua'imi'o ia iā lākou ma nā'ōpū a puni o nā'ōpala a puni, a kū'ai aku i nā hua'ai a me nā hua'ai āna i ulu ai i loko o kāna kīhāpai i'ole e make i ka pōloli. 'O ka mea "mea kū'ai" nui o nā mea make a'o ka mo'opuna ia o Don Julian, i hele mai i kekahi manawa i ka mokupuni'o Puppets e'ike i kona makuakāne.
'A'ole i'ike'ia kēia wahi a hiki i ka makahiki 1990. Akā i ho'okahi lā, ua lilo ke aupuni'o Melekiko i kona po'o i ka ho'onui a me ka mālama'ana i nā kahawai a me nā mokupuni. Ua pili kēia i nā kānaka'imi loio o ka'āina, i'ike i ka'ōlohelohe o ka hermit i ho'opuni'ia e ko lākou mau pupu'u a me nā hoa pilikino a me nā hoaaloha, e nānā ana i ka po'e e hō'ea ana i ka mokupuni o nā pulu me ko lākou mau maka maka.
I kēia lā,'a'ole ola'o Don Julian,'oiai'a'ole hiki i kekahi ke ha'i i kona'ano make. Wahi a kekahi'ike, ua loa'a kona pu'uwai pu'uwai, ma kekahi - ua make'o ia i loko o ka pūnaehana ho'okahi, kahi o kēlā kaikamahine li'ili'i a kona'uhane i ho'onāukiuki i ua kanaka nei. Akā aia kekahi moku o Puppets, a ua ho'oholo ka mana o nā luna'a'ole e pā, akā no ka hana'ana i kahi mea huaka'i huaka'i. 'A'ole lākou i hā'ule: ma luna o ka'elemakule, ka makani a me ka ua, puhi, puhi'ia nā pāpuni a'o nā mea a pau e makemake e hō'oki i ko lākou mau a'a e hele e'ike iā lākou.
