Ke Kauwa Pouli

ʻAʻole ʻo Santa wale nō ka mea e hele mai ana i ke kaona…

ʻOi aku kona makahiki ma mua o Christ a hoʻomāehaeha i nā keiki ʻEulopa i mau kenekulia. I kēia manawa ke alo nei ʻo ʻAmelika i kona huhū. E nalo nā keiki aloha ʻole e like me ka hau i haki i New Jersey. ʻO nā mea i koe he mau hōʻailona o ka luku — a me nā paʻi koko hao koko i haki ʻia i ka hau. Ua ala ʻo Billy Schweitzer he ʻumikūmāhiku ona makahiki ma Kēkēmapa 5 me ke kaumaha. Ke hakakā nei me kāna makuakāne aliʻi mākaʻi a me kāna keikikāne kāne kaikuaʻana, ua luku ʻia ʻo Billy i ka wā i hōʻole aku ai kāna kaikamahine moe iā ia. Ke komo a kahi mea ola ʻole i loko o kona kaona, me ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana i kona ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha, pono ʻo Billy e lanakila i kāna mau daimonio ponoʻī e maopopo ai ke kumu o ka hopu ʻia ʻana o kāna mau hoa kula kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe ʻole, a pehea e hoʻopakele ai iā lākou mai kahi hoa aloha kolohe ʻole o kahi haipule kaulana-ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokū ʻia.

ʻO Matt Manochio kekahi o nā keiki hou ma ka palaka. ʻAʻole ʻo Joey, Jordon, Jonathan, Danny, a ʻo Donnie paha… ʻaʻole, ʻo ia ke kāne hou o AC / DC lovin 'ma Samhain Horror. ʻAʻole kamaʻāina? ʻĀ, pono ʻoe e hoʻoponopono i kēlā ASAP. Ma hope o ka hana ʻana i ʻelua mau nūhou hewa i hoʻopuka ʻole ʻia (ʻo kekahi o ia mea āna i kūʻai aku ai i ka moku Dorchester e piholo ana, akā ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia e hoʻokuʻu ʻia), lohe ʻo Matt i ka moʻolelo o Krampus.

Krampus?

E kōkua ʻo Wikipedia iā mākou ma laila:

He holoholona like ʻo Krampus mai ka nā loina of Alpine manaʻo nā ʻāina e hoʻopaʻi i nā keiki i ka wā o Noel kau nāna i hana ʻino, ʻokoʻa me Sana Nikolao, nāna e uku i ka poʻe maikaʻi me nā makana. ʻ saidlelo ʻia ʻo Krampus e hopu i nā keiki kolohe i loko o kāna ʻeke a lawe aku iā lākou i kāna wahi moe.

He aha ka hana a Krampus me kēia mau keiki kolohe ma hope o kona lawe ʻana iā lākou i kāna wahi moe? Ke Kauwa Pouli, ʻO Matt's debut no kekahi o nā inoa hilinaʻi nui ʻia i ka weliweli, hāʻawi i nā kikoʻī maikaʻi ʻole.

He hana weliweli kā Matt hana ʻana i ka nānā ʻana o ka mea heluhelu ma ka ʻōpeʻapeʻa. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo Krampus i kona alo i kakahiaka a pinepine. Aia kekahi ʻino e hele mai nei i New Jersey, ke hele nei nā keiki i ke kula. I ka wā o ka puke, ua hoʻolauna ʻia ka luna mākaʻi a me kāna mau keikikāne ʻelua, a me nā haumāna ʻē aʻe, a huki ʻia kekahi, ma hope o kekahi, i ka hoʻopakele ʻana a Krampus i ka hoʻopaʻi a me ka penance. ʻO wai ka mea e mihi? A e lohi paha ia?

oiai Ke Kauwa Pouli Loaʻa i kāna mahele maikaʻi o ke koko a me ka weliweli, lawe pū kekahi i kahi leka koʻikoʻi a pili pū kekahi. ʻO ke kumuhana e kahe ana ma lalo o kahi papa suspense o ka puke ʻo Matt ka hana kolohe. ʻO ka bullying kahi mea a nā keiki (a me kekahi mau mākua) e hele ai i kēlā me kēia lā. He pilikia nui i ko mākou kaiāulu, keu hoʻi i ka manawa o nā cyber-bullies. Wahi a kahi hōʻike mai ka ABC News, 30% o nā haumāna he kolohe paha, a i ʻole nā ​​mea hoʻomāinoino. Noho he ʻumi kaukani mau keiki i ka home mai ke kula i kēlā me kēia lā e hōʻalo i kā lākou hana kolohe. Hoʻohana ʻo Matt i kekahi mau laʻana ma loko o ka moʻolelo e hōʻike i kekahi o nā ʻaoʻao nastier o ke kūlana kanaka i maopopo i kā mākou keiki (nā mea e lawe iā Krampus i ke kaona). Mālama ʻo Matt i ke kumuhana me ka mālama nui, a me ka hopena maikaʻi.

Ikaika ke kamaʻilio, hana maikaʻi ʻia nā huapalapala a hilinaʻi ʻia, nā mea e kōkua iā ʻoe e hana i e ʻike i nā mea e hana nei a me nā mea a kēlā me kēia keiki i hana ai i kūpono i ka hoʻopaʻi i loaʻa iā lākou. Aia kahi alualu hau weliweli e alualu ai (a i ʻole ke kiʻi ... akā hele aku lākou?), A hoʻokani kamahaʻo ka hopena.

ʻO ka puke moʻolelo mua a Matt Manochio ka mea waiwai i kou manawa a me kāu kālā. A ʻaʻohe mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e heluhelu ai i ka Kalikimaka ma mua o kahi moʻolelo Krampus maikaʻi.

He maikaʻi 4 mai nā hōkū 5. E kiʻi i kāu kope i kēia lā!
