“Lolotonga ʻeku lelé ne kamata ke u fakatokangaʻi ha meʻa naʻe hohaʻa ki ai ʻeku fakakaukaú. Naʻe toutou fakalaka ʻiate au ha kau tangata naʻe ifi tapaka, inu kava mālohi, mo fai e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe naʻe fepaki mo e ongoongoleleí, kae tautautefito ki he Lea ʻo e Potó.
“ʻOku ou manatuʻi ʻeku fakakaukau ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua leva angé! ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke u lele ʻo ʻikai helaʻia?’ Ka naʻá ku helaʻia, pea fakalaka ʻiate au ha kakai naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau muimui ʻi he Lea ʻo e Potó.
