This Saturday, March 17,
2012 is St. Patrick’s Day.
We all know the
symbols—the shamrock and the elusive Leprechaun.
In Hawaii, there are
little people (much like the Irish Leprechaun) known as The Menehune. They are rarely seen—also like the Leprechaun—but
there are some differences.
No pot of gold at the end
of a rainbow. The Menehune have
given Hawaiians something much more valuable than a hidden pot of gold. They
have been accredited with building various roads, temples, aqua ducts, and
ponds in Hawaii. These magical little people were so clever and strong that
they could complete these projects overnight.
Individual menehunes
range in size from six inches to two feet high.
They dwell deep in the
forests and can be very mischievous.
My second book in The
Hawaiian Island Detective Club Series is entitled, Menehunes Missing. I love those little guys.
So, this St. Patty’s Day,
I’m going to celebrate the amazing Menehune!
Aloha,
and Mahalo for visiting!
