ʻAʻoleʻoe e hoʻonele i ka nui o nā hale kūʻai mea hoʻomanaʻo. Hundreds of gifts, useful and not very good: hotejchiki, totemchiki, chasiki keʻano o nāʻano likeʻole, nā papa, podstavochki, nā kīʻaha, nā kukui kukui, ma keʻano nui, hiki iāʻoe ke helu i ka manawa pauʻole. Manaʻo wau e hiki i nā mea he nui ke kaena no ke kauʻana o kēlā mau kānana i ka home, ma ka papa. He maikaʻi ke hāʻawiʻana i kahi makana no ka lā hoʻokahi, me kaʻike e hiki i ka mea nāna ia e hana hou aku i kahi'āpana lepo mai ka lāʻapōpō? E nānā iāʻoe iho. Ma mua o ka hāʻawiʻana, e nīnau iāʻoe iho i ka nīnau: "Ke makemake nei au e loaʻa kēia makana? "
ʻO nā mea a pau e hāʻawi aku i kahi mea kūponoʻole, nui ka kohoʻana i ka koho maʻalahi - e hāʻawi i kālā. ʻO ka makana no ka mea hoʻokele. ʻOiaʻiʻo, me ke kālāʻole i kēia mau lā,ʻaʻole loa. I loko o ia iho,ʻo kaʻahaʻaina o ka lā hānau i nā laka i ka lā hānau o ka penny. No laila,ʻo ke kālā, ma kahi o ka makana,ʻaʻole loa ia he keu. Eia nō naʻe, e noʻonoʻo paha i ka paʻa o ke kūlana waiwai o ka mea i hānauʻia ma mua o kāu. ʻAʻole paha e kūpono ke lawe i ka peni hope loa mai loko aʻe o ka puʻuwai a hāʻawi aku i kahi kanaka i loaʻa ke kālā i ka uku kūpono. I kēia manawa, eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hāʻawiʻana i kahi bauble e hoʻomanaʻo mai ana iāʻoe. ʻO kahi mea hoʻomanaʻo liʻiliʻi, i hōʻikeʻia me keʻano haʻakaʻaka, eʻoluʻoluʻo iaʻaʻole wale nō ka keiki hānau, akāʻo nā mea a pau e noho nei.
Ināʻoe e launa pū me ka lā o ka lā hānau ma kahi kokoke loa, a laila hiki ke koho i kahi makana iā ia. Ma hope o nā mea a pau,ʻikeʻoe i kāna mea iʻoluʻolu, makemake, makemake, kūlana i loko o ka hale. ʻIkeʻoe i kāna mea e pono ai. Akāʻaʻole mākou i kono pinepineʻia i ka lā hānau o nā hoaaloha kokoke loa. ʻAʻole mākou iʻike mau i ka mea lā i ka lā hānau nui aʻaʻole mākou e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kāna makana. A laila, hele mākou a'ōhumu i ka mea e hāʻawi iā ia no kona lā hānau. ʻO ka mea nuiʻaʻole kūʻai i kahi mea hikiʻole ke hāʻawiʻia i kahi kanaka hānau.
Loaʻa ka nui o nā hoʻomana kiʻi e pili ana i nā makana. He aha kāu e hikiʻole ke hāʻawi no nā lā hānau? ʻO ka papa inoa,ʻoiaʻiʻo, he nui. Loaʻa iā ia nā mea ponoʻole, kahi a mākou e hoʻohana mau nei i ka hana i kēlā me kēia lā. E nānā kākou i ka mea maʻamau o lākou.
Mai hāʻawi i kahi lā hānau i ka nui o nā pua. ʻO ka nui o nā pua o ka Slav e lawe pū me lākou i ka hale kupapaʻu. ʻOiaiʻaʻohe o nā'āina a pau e pili ana i ka manaʻo hoʻomana. No ka laʻana, i ka Caucasus, he mea maʻamau ke hāʻawi wale i nāʻano kala he nui e pono ai ke loaʻa i kahi kanaka kekahi mau mea. Ma ka hoʻolewa, ma keʻano heʻe, hāʻawi lākou i kahi helu maʻamau, iʻole e alakaʻiʻia e kahi kāne meʻelua.
Hiki i nā pua pualena nani ke hiki ke hoʻokaʻawaleʻia, ka hoʻopunipuni. ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha e hīmeni nei lākou ma ka mele: "He mauʻelele tulipsʻo ia o nāʻelele no ka kaʻawale".
Wahi a keʻano kuʻuna i hōʻea mai iā mākou mai ke Komohana mai, e kuʻi ana, eʻokiʻoki ana i nā mea e lawe mai ai i ka hakakā i loko o kaʻohana, nā paio i ka hana. No laila,ʻaʻole hiki iāʻoe ke hāʻawi i nā pahi, nā kīkoki, nā sabak, nāʻoki, a me nā'ūpa. Ua hoʻokomo maiʻo China i loko o ko mākou mau ola i kahi manaʻo hoʻomana e pili ana i ke kiaʻi i hōʻikeʻia. Wahi a ka leo o ka 'āina,ʻo ka uaki ke alai i kahi hoʻolewa, kanu. Ma ke kakaka o ke kakaka (lima a me ka paia), ma keʻano o kahi makana e hiki ai i kahi kaʻawale, ka hoʻoemi o kahi manawa ola o ka mea i mālamaʻia e kēia mau wati.
E hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā me kēia mau makana "i pāpāʻia" hiki iāʻoe ke noi i kahi peni. A laila e manaʻoʻiaʻaʻoleʻoe i hāʻawi iā lākou, akā kūʻai aku i ka keiki hānau. ʻAʻole lākou e hoʻokau i kēlā ukiuki maikaʻi, i hōʻikeʻia ma luna nei.
ʻAʻoleʻoe e hānau i nā manikena. Hāʻawi lākou i ka hōʻino i ka hale. Uaʻaeʻia ka poʻe Slavic e hāʻawi iā lākou i nāʻohana o ka mea i make. ʻAʻole hiki iāʻoe ke hāʻawi i nāʻano mea olakala, e like me: shampoo, hamo, pāmā, lepo, hiki iā lākou ke uē. Mai pilikiaʻoe i ke olakino a me keʻano o nā mea kokoke iāʻoe. Heʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale wale i nā makana i ka pāʻina.
He aha ka mea hikiʻole ke hāʻawiʻia no kahi lā hānau wahine? Inā hāʻawiʻoe i makana i kahi wahine a heleʻole mai me kahi mea'ē aʻe ma mua o ka hāʻawiʻana i nā mea liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, nā mea kinakona, nā ipu, nā pāpale - e kūkā maikaʻi i kēia makana me ia ma mua. ʻAʻole kēlā wahine kēia wahine e makemake i kahi makana i ka lumi kuke,ʻaʻole naʻe iā ia iho. I kekahi manawa, ulu kekahi mau makana i loko o ka hōʻehaʻohana.
Mai hāʻawi i kahi wahine i ke aniani. Ma ka aniani, hōʻikeʻia ke ola o kekahi kanaka ma keʻano'ē aʻe. Hiki i kēia makana ke hoʻololi i kahi ola maikaʻi i kaʻaoʻao'ē aʻe.
E koho maʻamau no kāu meaʻala maikaʻi loa. E like me kā lākou e'ōlelo nei,ʻaʻohe hoa noho no kaʻono a me ke kala. ʻO kaʻala a me ka wai lepo wai e pono i ka wahine ke koho iā ia iho. Hiki iāʻoe ke hāʻawi iā lākou, akā i ka hilinaʻi piha loa e loaʻa iāʻoe kaʻono pono. E mālama pū me nā koho a me nā kāmaʻa no ka wahine. Ināʻoleʻoe e hoʻoholo e hōʻike i kahi mea e kahaha ai i ka wahine, akā e hāʻawi iā ia i ka manawa e ho'āʻo ai i kāu mea koho. ʻO ka maikaʻi aʻe, e hilinaʻi i kāna meaʻai, e kohoʻo ia. ʻO kēia koho iʻoi aku ka hilinaʻi loa.
Aia kekahi mau palena i ka kohoʻia o kahi makana no ke kanaka. ʻOiai,ʻaʻoleʻoe e hāʻawi hou iā ia iʻelua mau pēke. E noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ke kapa pāpale, nā mikaliki, ke kapa komo. Eʻae iā ia e koho i kēia mau mea pono'ī nona iho. ʻO kekahi keʻa, he maikaʻi. Akāʻo nā mea a pau e komo ai i loko o ka puddle, e noi i kāna lole. Hiki ke hoʻololi i kāu mau meaʻono. Hāʻawi i kāna makemake,ʻaʻoleʻoe.
Mai hāʻawi aku i nā kāmaʻa kūponoʻole i ke kaʻa. E waiho i ka mīkini i "kona āpana pono'ī".
He nui nā māmā o ka wahine ikaika ke makemakeʻole i ka hāʻawiʻiaʻana o nā pua, manaʻo lākou he makana ia no nā wāhine. ʻAʻohe manaʻo manaʻo maʻaneʻi. E nīnau mua i kāna hanaʻana i nā pua, makemake lākou i kekahi mau mea.
E ho'āʻo i ka hāʻawiʻoleʻana i nā mea eʻimi ai i kahi mau meaʻimi: nā kuluhinu maʻamau, ma hope o ka penaʻana i nā gels, nā hamo a me nā lotions. No laila uaʻikeʻia ka paʻakikī o ke kanaka i kahiʻoluʻolu maikaʻi.
E ho'āʻo e haʻalele i nā palu banal, e hoʻokomo i kou manaʻo. Hiki i kekahi makana ke haʻi nui i ka mea nāna i hāʻawi. No kāna mea iʻoluʻolu, makemake, hoʻolohe i ka keiki hānau. Ma keʻano maʻamau,ʻaʻole nānā ka lio makana ma ka waha. ʻO ka mea nui,ʻo kāu makana e hanaʻia mai ka puʻuwai a me kaʻuhane.
