Naʻá ku hoko ko ha faʻē kei talavou mo femouʻekina ʻi he taimi naʻe ui ai au ke u palesiteni Fineʻofá. Naʻá ku tupu hake pē ʻi he Siasí pea ne u moʻui ʻo fakatatau mo hono ngaahi akonakí, ka naʻá ku ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻikai ke u haohaoa pea ne u loto-hohaʻa ki heʻeku malava ko ia ʻo tokoniʻi e kau fafine faingataʻaʻia ʻi hoku uōtí.
Naʻe ʻi ai ha Sāpate ʻe taha ne u ongoʻi matuʻaki lotosiʻi ai. Lolotonga e ʻahó kotoa ne fakafetaulaki mai ha kau fafine naʻá nau fie maʻu au. Ko e niʻihi naʻa nau fie maʻu ha tokoni fakauelofea, pea ko e niʻihi naʻa nau fie maʻu pē ke u fakafanongo kiate kinautolu. Naʻe ueʻi au ʻe he Laumālié ke ʻoua te u ʻalu ki he houalotu sākalamēnití ʻi heʻene kamatá, naʻe fakaʻohovale kiate au ʻeku fetaulaki mo ha fefine māmālohi ʻi he holó ʻa ia naʻá ne fie maʻu ha fakafiemālie mo ha tokoni pea naʻe ʻikai te ne lava ʻo faʻa tatali ke tuku ʻa e lotú.
Ne u fuʻu ongosia ʻi he tuku ʻa e lotú! Ne u tangi pē ʻi he loto kaá ʻo aʻu ki ʻapi. Naʻe toutou ongo mai ʻa e lea ko ʻení ki heʻeku fakakaukaú: “Talanoa mo e pīsopé!” Ne u ongoʻi ʻe ʻi ai ha faleʻi fakapotopoto ʻa e pīsopé ki he founga ke fakamaʻamaʻa ai ʻeku ongoʻi mafasia ʻi hoku uiuiʻí, ka naʻe ʻikai te u fie fakahohaʻasi ia ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo ha ʻaho ngāue fuoloa ʻi he lotú. Ne u fakakaukau ke fakatoloi ʻeku telefoni ki aí, mo e tatangi e telefoní. Ko ʻeku pīsopé. Naʻá ne ongoʻi ha ueʻi fakalaumālie ke telefoni mai.
Ne u fakamatala ki he pīsopé ʻeku ongosia ʻi he lahi e ngaahi meʻa naʻe fie maʻu ke fakaleleiʻi ʻi he taimi pē ko iá pea mo ʻeku ongoʻi loto-mamahi ʻi he ʻikai te u lava ʻo tokoniʻi ha kau fafine tokolahi ange.

ʻI he ʻosi ʻema talanoá ne u pehē ange, “Naʻá ku pehē ʻe au ʻe ʻi ai ha founga fakapotopoto te ke talamai ke ʻoua te u ongoʻi fuʻu mafasia aí.” Naʻá ne tali mai naʻá ne fakaʻamu ne ʻi ai ha meʻa pehē ke ne lea talamai, ka ko e meʻapangó naʻe ʻikai.
