Naʻá ku tupu hake ʻi he Siasí ka naʻá ku ʻauhia atu ʻi hoku taʻu hongofulu tupú. Ko e taimi naʻá ku foki mai ai ki he Siasí, naʻe poupouʻi au ʻe hoku husepāniti ko Teilí, ka naʻe ʻikai fie talanoa ia mo e kau faifekaú.
Naʻá ku talanoa mo e pīsopé ke maʻu haʻaku lekomeni temipale ʻi he hili ʻo ʻeku foki mai ʻo mālohí.

Naʻe kole fakalelei mai ʻe he pīsopé ke u toki foki ange ʻi ha hili haʻaku fakahā kia Teili naʻá ku totongi vahehongofulú.
Naʻe fāifai peá u maʻu ha loto lahi ʻi ha pongipongi Sāpate ʻe taha ke talaange ki hoku husepānití naʻá ku totongi vahehongofulu. Naʻe fakaʻohavaleʻi au ʻe Teili ʻaki haʻane pehē mai pē, “ʻOku ou ʻilo.” Ko e taha ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi mana lahi ʻo e vahehongofulú.
