Naʻá ku vaʻinga ʻi ha feʻauhi volipolo ʻi he taʻu kuo ʻosí. Naʻá ku manavasiʻi ʻo hangē ko e tokolahi hoku ngaahi kaungāvaʻingá. ʻI he kamata ke u vaʻingá, ne ʻosi foʻi ʻemau timí ʻi he ongo ʻuluaki vaʻingá. Ne mau loto-foʻi. Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he kau mamata vaʻingá ha ngaahi lea taʻeʻofa, pea naʻa mau ongoʻi toe loto-foʻi ange. Ne mau ʻulungia.
ʻI hono ʻeke mai ʻe heʻeku faʻeé pe naʻe fēfē ʻa e taú, naʻe kamata ke u tangi. Naʻá ku fuʻu loto-mamahi ʻaupito. Naʻá ku ʻalu ki hoku lokí, ʻa ia naʻe malu mo lōngonoá, peá u fai ai ha lotu.

Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi naʻe fakafiemālieʻi au ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní pea te Ne tokoniʻi maʻu pē au. ʻI ha feʻauhi ʻe taha ʻi he taʻú ni, ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi te Ne ʻiate au ʻi heʻeku vaʻingá.
Ko e hā mo ha toe founga kehe kuo tokoniʻi ai koe ‘e he Laumālie Māʻoni‘oní?
Naʻe tokoniʻi foki au ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻi he taimi naʻá ku hiki ai mei he Palaimelí ki he Kau Finemuí. Naʻá ku fiefia ke hiki ki he Kau Finemuí. Ka naʻá ku ongoʻi manavasiʻi ʻi he taimi tatau. Naʻá ku kiʻi loto-mamahi foki ʻi heʻeku mavahe mei he Palaimelí.
Kimuʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻuluaki kalasí, naʻá ku fai ha lotu peá u kole ki he Tamai Hēvaní ke tokoni mai ke u fiefia ʻi he Kau Finemuí. Naʻá ku ongoʻi ha nonga ʻi hoku lotó ʻi heʻeku hū atu ki hoku lokiako foʻoú. Ne u mateuteu ke u ako. Naʻe tokoni ke manatuʻi ʻe ʻi ai maʻu pē ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní maʻaku!
