Fai ʻe Jim Franckum

(Makatuʻunga ʻi ha talanoa moʻoni)

Naʻe hoko ʻa e talanoa ko ʻení ʻi he ʻIunaiteti Siteiti ʻo ʻAmeliká.

Naʻá ke maumauʻi ʻeku kiʻi lolí!

Ko koe naʻá ke kamatá!

Ongo tautehina feʻiteʻitani ʻokú na talanoa ki heʻena tetí

Naʻe maumauʻi ʻe Kalānite ʻeku kiʻi lolí!

Naʻe kaihaʻasi ʻe Siō ʻeku pulu ʻakapulú!

Talanoa ʻa Teti ki he ongo tamaiki tangatá

ʻOku hangē ʻokú mo fakatou kē ʻi he fevahevaheʻakí. ʻOkú mo fiemaʻu ke u fakaleleiʻi ʻa e palopalemá, pe ʻokú mo loto ke mo fakaleleiʻi pē ʻe moua?

Tamasiʻi ʻoku fakakaukau ki ha TV mo ha keimi vitiō ʻoku tapuʻi hono fakaʻaongaʻí.

Peʻi sai. Te ta lava pē ʻo feinga ke fakaleleiʻi ia.

Sai ʻaupito. ʻOku ou fakaʻamu ke mo talanoa fakalelei pea ʻomi ha ngaahi fakakaukau ki ha founga te mo lava ai ʻo feohi vālelei ange.

Ongo tautehina ʻokú na tangutu ʻi he mohengá ʻo talanoa

ʻOku ou kole fakamolemole atu ʻi heʻeku toʻo hoʻo foʻi pulu ʻakapulú. Naʻá ku fie sio pē ki ai. Naʻe totonu pē ke u ʻuluaki kole atu kia koe.

Kiʻi tamasiʻi ʻoku sio loto-mamahi ki lalo

Naʻe ʻikai pē totonu ke u ʻita. ʻOku ou kole fakamolemole atu ʻi heʻeku maumauʻi hoʻo lolí. ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e loli ia ʻokú ke saiʻia taha aí.

Hifo mai ʻa e ongo tamaiki tangatá ke talanoa kia teti

Naʻá mo lava ʻo fakaleleiʻi hoʻomo palopalemá?

ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻomo hoko ko ha faʻa fakaleleí.
