Legend tells of a maiden from Kahakulaoa, Maui, kidnapped by an eel. Her brother, intent on saving her from the eel's cave, summoned sea creatures to help. All refused except the 'opihi, who clamped themselves over the eel's eyes, blinding him. The brother was able to rescue his sister. 'Ôpae is shrimp, Pûpû is seashell, Pipipi is mollusk, Kûpe'e is marine snail, 'Opihi is limpet.
