caught a
Menehune.”
    â€œWhat?” asked Leilani.

    Hana told her about their plan to get the work done more quickly. She described howthey had built the trap and sneaked out of the house to check it at midnight.
    â€œI think we made him angry!” said Iris. “Now he’s punishing us and making bad things happen.”
    â€œWill Malia and Jay’s wedding be ruined?” asked Hana.
    Leilani chuckled and shook her head.
“Menehune
aren’t real, silly. Like Mom said, they are part of a legend. You probably caught a gecko in your trap!”
    â€œDo you really think so?” asked Iris hopefully.
    â€œI’m sure,” replied Leilani. “Now let’s get back to work. There have to be some plumeria here that we can still use for the leis.”
    The girls split up in search of fresh flowers, but it wasn’t easy. “I can’t find any!” Iris declared.
    â€œI found some,” Hana yelled from somewhere out of sight.
    â€œWhere are you?” shouted Leilani
    â€œUp here!” Hana had climbed high up a tree and was stretching to reach some plumeria far out on a branch.
    Iris and Leilani ran over to the tree.
    Leilani yelled, “Get down! It’s too dangerous!”
    â€œI’m fine. Look how pretty these are.”

    Hana stretched her arm out toward the brightly colored petals.
    Snap!
    The branch cracked, and Hana started to tumble down. Thinking fast, Leilani moved underneath the tree to catch her sister.
    Thud!
Hana fell, knocking Leilani over.
    â€œOh, no!” Iris cried. She ran over to Hana and Leilani. They were both lying on the ground. “Are you okay?” Iris asked.
    Hana slowly rolled over. She was able to move her arms and legs. “I’m not hurt, thanks to Leilani. She broke my fall.”
    Iris looked at Leilani, who had tears streaming down her face.
    â€œI think my ankle is broken!” Leilani cried out.

Chapter Ten
    In the waiting room at the hospital, Hana and Iris huddled together on a bench next to Tutu. Leilani and her parents were meeting with a doctor in another room.
    Tears filled Hana’s eyes. “This is all my fault,” she whimpered. “Leilani’s leg, the storm, the spoiled food, the ruined decorations. I feel terrible.”
    â€œIt’ll be okay,” comforted Iris.
    â€œWhat?” Tutu narrowed her eyes as she overheard them. “How could all this bad luck be your fault, Hana?”
    Iris exchanged a glance with Hana. “Well…” Hana began, “we…”
    Tutu listened as the girls told her the whole story about catching a
Menehune.
    â€œI see,” Tutu said. For a long time she didn’t say another word. Then she cleared her throat.
    â€œI’m glad you girls told me what you did. Hana, you know better. You should never leave the house late at night without getting permission from an adult. I hope you have learned your lesson. The
Menehune
are not to be messed with.”

    â€œBut Tutu, is there anything we can do to make things better for the wedding?” Hana asked with a sniffle.
    â€œYou already broke the rules, and we can’t turn back time. But…” Tutu gave the girls a stern look. “From now on, cooperate and be extra-good helpers. We have a wedding to save!”
    Hana’s grandmother hugged both girls. “One more thing. Put some more vanilla wafers out for the
Menehune.
You have to keep them happy.”
    â€œBut Leilani said the
Menehune
aren’t real,” said Hana.
    â€œWhat could it hurt?” asked Tutu.
    Iris and Hana exchanged looks and shrugged. They were finally smiling again too.
    Just then, Leilani entered the waiting room with her parents. She was using crutches to walk.
    â€œWe have some good news and some bad news,” Hana’s dad said.
    â€œLeilani’s ankle isn’t broken,” said her mom.
    â€œWhew!” Hana sighed in relief.
    â€œBut it is badly
