ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoku fuʻu mahuʻinga pehē ai kiate au e kiʻi matalaʻi ʻakau ko ʻení he ngaahi taʻu lahí ni. ʻOku ʻikai ke ne tohoakiʻi vave e tokangá; he ʻoku faingofua hono taʻefakatokangaʻí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi matalaʻiʻakau lalahi lanu kehekehé; ka ʻoku fakaʻofoʻofa foki hono lanu mālohí he ʻoku tatau ia mo e lanu pulū ʻa e langí—mahalo ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻe taha ʻo ʻeku saiʻia aí.
Pea ʻoku ʻi ai ha foʻi kole fakaʻofa ʻoku fai ʻe hono hingoá. ʻOku ʻi ai ha talatupuʻa faka-Siamane ʻo pehē hili pē hono fakahingoa kotoa ʻe he ʻOtuá e ʻakaú, naʻe tuku taʻefakahingoa pē ha ʻakau ʻe taha.

ʻOku ou fie fakahā atu ha meʻa ʻoku ou ʻamanaki pē ʻe tonu hoʻomou vakai ki aí: ʻOku ʻafioʻi lelei pē ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai ke tau haohaoa.

Hokohoko atu hoʻo ngāueʻi iá pea tuku hoʻo tauteaʻi pē koé.

Ka ʻi he taimi ní, houngaʻia ʻi he fanga kiʻi lavameʻa iiki kotoa ʻi ho ʻapí, ʻi ho vā fakafāmilí, ʻi hoʻo akó mo e maʻuʻanga moʻuí, ʻi hoʻo kau ki he Siasí mo hoʻo fakalakalaka fakafoʻituituí.

Ko e pōpoaki ʻeni ne hiki ʻi he tikite koula takitaha: “Mālō e lelei, ko e tokotaha monūʻia ʻokú ke maʻu e Tikite Koulá ni precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. “I’ve been thinking,” he said, “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me something more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.
