ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻe niʻihi ko ha ngaahi fili ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono fakahoko pe ʻikai fakahoko ha meʻá. Ne u ʻilo ki ha sīpinga ʻo e faʻahinga filí ni ʻi ha konifelenisi fakasiteiki ʻi he ʻIunaiteti Siteití he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuohilí.

Ne faifai ʻo ofi ʻaupito atu e kulií pea puna ʻo ʻūtaki e sikuilá. Ne fuʻu ʻohovale e fānau akó, ʻo nau feʻohofi atu ke hamusi mai e kiʻi sikuilá mei he kulií, ka naʻe fuʻu tōmui ia Kuo mate e sikuilá ia.
Ne mei lava pē ʻe ha taha he kau mamatá ʻo fai ha fakatokanga ki he sikuilá ʻi ha faʻahinga taimi pē ʻaki hano taʻalo hono nimá pe kaila, ka naʻe ʻikai fakahoko ia ʻe ha taha. Ne nau sio pē mo ʻiloʻi lelei e meʻa ʻe hokó kae ʻikai pē ke fai ha meʻa.

Ne u fai ha lea kimuʻa atu ko e “Lelei, Lelei Ange, Lelei Tahá.” ʻI he lea ko iá ne u pehē “ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ʻuhinga lelei ʻetau fai ha faʻahinga meʻa koeʻuhí pē he ʻoku lelei e meʻa ko iá. ʻOku lahi ʻaupito e ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻe lava ke tau faí ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau maʻu ke fakahoko ai kinautolú. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mahulu ange ia ʻi he leleí pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke tau fuofua tokanga ki aí. … ʻE fie maʻu ke tau feilaulauʻi ha ngaahi meʻa lelei ka tau fili ki ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ange pe lelei taha.”1

Ko ha sīpinga ʻeni ʻe taha ʻo e ola ʻo e meʻa ʻe hoko he kahaʻú makatuʻunga he fili ʻi he ʻaho ní. ʻOku fekauʻaki e sīpingá ni mo e fili ke fai ha feilaulau he taimí ni ke maʻu ai ha taumuʻa mahuʻinga ki he kahaʻú.
Ne fakamatala ʻe ha fefine ʻi ha konifelenisi fakasiteiki ʻi Kali ʻi Kolomupia, ʻene fakaʻamu mo hono kaumeʻá ke na mali he temipalé, ka ko e temipale ofi tahá pē ko Pelū ʻa ia ne fuʻu mamaʻo ʻaupito. Ne taimi lahi ʻena tātānaki haʻana paʻanga ki he totongi pasí.
