ʻI he puke ʻeku kui tangatá, naʻá ku ʻalu ki ʻAnisilape ke nofo mo ia. Naʻe tuʻo lahi e ʻaʻahi mai ʻa e ongo faifekaú kiate iá. Naʻe ʻikai ke u kau mo ʻeku kui tangatá ki he Siasí, ka naʻá ne saiʻia he ʻaʻahi mai ʻa e kau faifekaú. ʻI ha efiafi ʻe taha, naʻá na foaki ange ha tāpuaki ki heʻeku kui tangatá, pea hili ha efiafi fakafāmili ʻe taha, naʻá na ʻomi kiate kimaua ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

Naʻá na talamai, “Kātaki ʻo lau e tohi ko ʻení pea kole ki he ʻOtuá pe ʻoku moʻoni ia.”

ʻI heʻeku foki ki Salotoloá, naʻe ʻikai ke u fie lau e Tohi ʻa Molomoná koeʻuhí naʻá ku pehē ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ia. ʻI ha ʻaho leva ʻe taha, naʻá ku fuʻu puke lahi ʻaupito pea naʻá ku nofo maʻu ʻi fale ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho lahi. Lolotonga ʻeku kumi ha meʻa ke faí, naʻá ku maʻu e Tohi ʻa Molomoná peá u kamata lau ia.

Naʻá ku foki kimui ange ki ʻAnisilape peá u fetaulaki mo e ongo faifekaú. Naʻá na akoʻi lahi ange au fekauʻaki mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná pea mo e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá. Naʻá ku talaange kiate kinaua ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fie maʻu ha kau palōfita pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha palōfita ʻi he kuongá ni. Naʻe kole mai ʻe he ongo faifekaú ke u lotu ki he ʻOtuá ʻo fehuʻi ange pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha palōfita ʻi he taimí ni. Naʻá na palōmesi mai ʻe tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻeku lotú. Naʻá ku lotu peá u ongoʻi ʻoku moʻoni e meʻa naʻe talamai ʻe he ongo faifekaú.

Naʻá ku loto ke u ʻalu ki he lotú, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻaku totongi pasi. Naʻá ku talanoa ki hoku kaungāmeʻa ko Lasafinitalavaonasoló, pea naʻá ne talamai ʻe lava ke ma ʻalu ʻi heʻeku pasikalá. Naʻá ma fononga ʻi he houa ʻe uá mei Salatoa ki ʻAnisilape pē ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē. ʻI he taimi naʻá ku helaʻia ai he ʻaká, naʻá ku heka ʻi mui kae ʻaka hoku kaungāmeʻá. Pea ʻi he taimi naʻe helaʻia ai hoku kaungāmeʻá, naʻá ma toe fetongi pē.
