Lolotonga ʻeku ʻi he kolisí mo hoku husepānití pea hili mo ha ngaahi taʻu lahi mei ai, naʻá ma tōnounou fakapaʻanga maʻu pē. Naʻe ʻikai te u kumi ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa, ka naʻá ku ngaohi pē kinautolu. Naʻá ku ngaohi ʻi ha taʻu ʻe taha ha ngaahi ʻufiʻufi ki he lalo ʻakau Kilisimasí ke foaki maʻa hoku ngaahi tokouá mo e tokoua-ʻi he-fonó.
