Ne u felauʻaki mo ʻeku faʻeé ʻi ha efiafi ʻe taha pea ne u fuʻu ongoʻi loto mamahi. Ko ia ne u fakakaukau ai ke u lotu. Neongo naʻá ku fuʻu loto mamahi pea ʻikai ke u fie ongoʻi “fakalaumālie” ka naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻe tokoni e lotú ke u ongoʻi fiefia mo siʻisiʻi ange ʻeku fakafekikí. Hili e mavahe ʻeku faʻeé mei he lokí, ne u kamata fai ʻeku lotú. “Tamai Hēvani, kuó u ʻunuʻunu atu ki Hoʻo ʻAfió he pooni koeʻuhí …” ʻIkai. Ne u ʻāʻā leva pea tukuange hoku nimá; naʻe ongo faikehe. Ne u toe feinga. “Tamai Hēvani, ʻoku ou fie maʻu …” Naʻe toe ongo ngali kehe mo ia. Ne u ongoʻi kuo fakaʻaiʻai au ʻe Sētane ke tuku ʻeku lotu ʻo kole tokoni ki he Tamai Hēvaní.
