Rona Long Teeth loved her daughter dearly Every day she would rub the little girl's skin with sandalwood oil to make it soft and sweet Every day she would comb Hina's long dark hair until it shone like water
Every day she would smooth the tips of Hina's fingers until they were more slender and delicate than any fingers you have ever seen Thank you mom
Rona Long Teeth fed Hina with the best mangoes and pineapples so that her daughter would grow up strong and healthy She caught the fattest crabs on the reef and cooked their sweet meat for her daughter
As the years passed the monster's child grew up She was a beautiful young woman But even though she loved Hina Rona Long Teeth felt nothing for the people on the island
