Ua pana ʻo Hou Yi i ʻeiwa lā a hoʻopakele i ka poʻe maʻamau. Ua hāʻawi ka Mōʻīwahine makuahine o ke Komohana iā Hou Yi i kahi elixir o ka make ʻole. No ka pale ʻana i ka poʻe ʻino mai ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia lāʻau lapaʻau, ua moni ka wahine a Hou Yi, ʻo Changʻe, a lele i ka Hale Aliʻi o Moon.

ʻO nā loina o ka Mid-Autumn Festival he waihoʻoluʻu. ʻO ka mahalo i ka mahina he hana koʻikoʻi no ka Mid-Autumn Festival. I kēia lā, e haʻalele ka poʻe i ko lākou mau home i ka pō a hele i waho e leʻaleʻa i kēlā mahina poepoe a mālamalama. Ke kau nei ka mahina alohilohi, e hoomalamalama ana i ka honua a e hoomalamalama ana i na manao a me na pomaikai iloko o ka naau o kanaka. He kuʻuna koʻikoʻi ka ʻai ʻana i nā mooncakes o ka Mid-Autumn Festival. Hōʻailona ka Mooncakes i ka hui hou ʻana. Nui nā ʻano ʻano keke mahina, e like me nā keke mahina ʻelima mau nut kuʻuna, nā keke pīni ʻulaʻula, a me nā mooncake huaʻai hou a me nā mooncake ʻili hau. Noho pū ka ʻohana, ʻono i nā keke mahina ʻono, a kaʻana like i ka hauʻoli o ke ola.
