Ka ko e ngaahi me‘a ‘oku ‘alu ki tu‘a mei he ngutú, ‘oku ‘alu hake ia mei he lotó. Ko e ngaahi me‘a ia ‘oku ʻuli ai ha taha. He ‘oku fou mei he lotó ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau kovi ‘oku iku ki he tāmate, mo e tono, mo e fe‘auaki, mo e kaiha‘a, mo e fakamoʻoni loi, mo e lauʻikoviʻi.

‘Oku ‘ikai ko e me‘a ‘oku hū ki loto he ngutú ‘oku ʻuli ai ha tahá, ka ko e me‘a ‘oku hū mai mei hono ngutú ‘oku ʻuli ai̇́.”

‟Ko e kakai ni, ‘Oku nau faka‘apa‘apa kiate au, ʻaki pē honau mu‘a ngutú, ka ‘oku mama‘o ʻaupito honau lotó. Ko e koto taʻeʻaonga pē ‘enau lotu kiate aú, he ‘oku nau akonaki ʻaki, ʻa e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni fakaetangata pē, ka nau tala ko ‘eku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ia!”

Pea pehē ange ‘e Si̇̄sū ki he fefiné, ‟Fefine, tā ʻoku lahi pē hoʻo tui̇́! Ko e me‘a ‘okú ke kole mai̇́, ‘e fai ia ma‘au.” Pea naʻe moʻui leva ʻene ta‘ahiné mei he taimi ko iá.

Pea ha‘u ʻa e fefiné ‘o tūʻulutui atu ki he vaʻe ‘o Si̇̄suú pea naʻe pehē ange, ‟ʻEiki, tokoni mai mu‘a, kiate au.” Ka naʻe talaange ‘e Si̇̄sū, ‟‘Oku ‘ikai taau ke toʻo e mā ‘a e fānaú ‘o laku ki he fanga kulii̇́.” Pea tali ʻe he fefiné, ‟ʻIo ʻEiki, ʻoku mo‘oni, ka na‘á mo e fanga kulii̇́ ‘oku nau kai pē foki he momo ‘oku ngangana mei he tēpile ‘a honau ‘eiki̇́.”
