Waipio Valley

The aroma of coffee filled the kitchen as Ruth and Ben finished their morning brew. She looked at the flower arrangement.

“Ben, I forgot to thank you for the nice flowers.”

“Flowers? I thought you put them there.”

“I wonder how they got here.”

Ruth and Ben inquisitively look at each other when Ben realized what happened.

“Dat what he do here!”

“Who?”

“William.”

Ruth looked at the flowers and smiled.

“Darling, why didn’t he tell us?”

“You scare him.”

“He scared me! That was very kind of him.”

Ruth looked down at The Big Island throw-away magazine which had a photograph of the Waipio Valley on the cover.

“Darling, is Waipio Valley as breathtaking as these photographs?”

“Uh-huh.”

“How long does it take to get there?”

“Too dangerous to drive, you hike.”

“Hike from where?”

“You park at top, hike down to beach. Da hike takes half an hour to get down, over an hour to go up.”

“I have an SUV, I can drive.”

“Some people don’t make it.”

“The salesman told me I could do it!”

“Oh-kay, use only first gear and drive very slowly. Going down is hard; going up easy. You need carrots with stalk attached.”

Ruth gave Ben an inquisitive look. “Carrots?”

“You need carrots when you get to bottom.” Ben got up. “I go to Auntie’s.”
