Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻo kau ki ha fakahā naʻá ne maʻu ko e tali ki ha lotu ʻa ha kaungāmeʻa faivelenga:
“Kuo aʻusia ʻe hatau tokolahi ʻa e mālohi fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e lotú. Ko e taha ʻo haʻaku aʻusiá ko hano maʻu mei ha taha ʻo e pēteliake fakasiteiki mei he tafaʻaki fakatonga ʻo ʻIutā. Naʻá ku fuofua fetaulaki mo ia ʻi hoku ʻōfisi fakafaitoʻó ʻi he taʻu ʻe 40 tupu kuo hilí, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe fuofua kamataʻi mai ai e tafa mafú. Naʻe faingataʻaʻia lahi ʻa e tangata angatonú ni koeʻuhí ko e ʻikai ke ngāue lelei hono mafú.
“Naʻa ne tautapa ki ha tokoni, mo ʻene fakakaukau naʻe tupunga e palopalema hono mafú mei he maumau ha foʻi vaolo ʻi hono mafú pea ʻe lava pē ke faitoʻo.
“Ka naʻe mahino mei he hili hono sivi fakaʻaulilikí ko e foʻi vaolo ia ʻe ua ʻoku maumaú. Neongo ʻe lava ke tafa e ongo foʻi vaoló, ka ko e taha pē ʻe lava ke moʻuí. Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻikai fiemaʻu ke fai ha tafa ia. Naʻá ne loto-mamahi ʻaupito ʻi hono maʻu ʻa e ongoongó ni.
“Naʻe fai pē ʻa e faleʻi tatau ʻi he ngaahi ʻaʻahi atu kimuí. ʻI heʻene fuʻu fiemaʻu vivilí, naʻe faifai peá ne lea mai kiate au ʻaki ha ongo fakaʻofa moʻoni: ‘Toketā Nalesoni, kuó u lotua ha tokoni pea kuo fakahinohinoʻi mai ke u haʻu kiate koe. He ʻikai ke fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEikí ia kiate au ʻa e founga ke faitoʻo ai e foʻi vaolo fika uá, ka te Ne lava ʻo fakahā atu ia kiate koe. Kuo ʻosi teuteuʻi lelei ho ʻatamaí. Kapau te ke tafa au, ʻe fakahā atu ʻe he ʻEikí kiate koe ʻa e meʻa ke ke faí. Kātaki ʻo fakahoko ʻa e tafa ʻoku ou fiemaʻú, pea lotua ʻa e tokoni ʻokú ke fiemaʻú.’
“Naʻe ongo moʻoni kiate au ʻa ʻene fuʻu tui mālohí. ʻE anga fēfē haʻaku fakasītuaʻi ia? Hili haʻama lotu fakamātoato fakataha, naʻá ku loto leva ke fai ha feinga. ʻI heʻeku teuteu ki he ʻaho fakamamahi ko iá, naʻá ku toutou lotu, ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke u ʻilo ʻa e meʻa ke fai ki hono foʻi vaolo ko ia ʻoku mamá. Pea aʻu ki hono kamata ʻo e tafá naʻe ʻeke mai ʻe hoku tokoní, ‘Ko e hā hoʻo meʻa ʻe fai ki he foʻi konga ko ē?’
“Naʻá ku pehē ange, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻilo.’
“Naʻá ma kamata ʻa e tafá. Hili hono fakaleleiʻi e meʻa naʻe mapuni he foʻi vaolo ʻuluakí, naʻa ma fakaava hake leva e vaolo hono uá. Ne mau ʻilo ai ʻoku kei kakato pē ka kuo fuʻu fōlahi ia ʻo ʻikai toe lava ia ʻo ngāue lelei ʻi hono tuʻunga totonú. Lolotonga hono vakaiʻi ʻa e foʻi kālava ko ʻení, naʻe haʻu ha pōpoaki mahino ki heʻeku fakakaukaú: Fakasiʻisiʻi e fuolahi ʻo e foʻi kālavá..

“Ka ʻe anga fēfē hono ʻaí? He ʻikai ke ma lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ha leta ʻo hangē ko hono ʻai ke maʻu ha talausese ʻoku fuʻu lahi ki ha kongaloto. He ʻikai ke mau lava ʻo fakamaʻu ha meʻa haʻi ʻo hangē ko hano fakamanoʻo ha nofoʻa ʻo ha hoosi. Pea naʻe toki hā lelei mai ha foʻi fakatātā ki hoku ʻatamaí, ʻo fakahā mai ʻa e feituʻu ke tuituí—ʻa e feituʻu ke fakalahí mo e feituʻu ke fulihí—ke maʻu ʻa e ola naʻe fiemaʻú. ʻOku ou kei manatuʻi pē ʻa e ʻīmisi ko iá ʻi hoku ʻatamaí—fakataha mo e ngaahi laine motumotu ʻe fakahoko ai ʻa e tuituí.

“Naʻá ku tali ange, ‘Ko ha tali ia ki ha lotu.’
“Naʻe vave e fakaakeake ʻa e tokotaha puké pea fakafiefia mo fakafiemālie. Naʻe ʻikai ke ngata pē ʻi hono tokoniʻi ia ʻi ha founga fakaofó, ka naʻe malava ke fai ha tafa ʻo tokoni ki he kakai kehe naʻe ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi palopalema peheé. ʻOku ʻikai ke u polepole ai. ʻOku ʻoatu ʻa e fakamāloó ki he pēteliaki faivelenga ko ʻení mo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia naʻá ne tali ʻemau lotú.”

ʻOku finangalo moʻoni nai ʻa e ʻOtuá ke folofola atu kiate koe? ʻIo!

ʻOku fie maʻu koā ʻe he ʻEikí ke folofola atu kiate koe? ʻIo! “ʻE faingofua tatau ʻa hono fakamafao atu ʻe ha tangata ʻa hono nima vaivai ke taʻofi ʻa e vaitafe Mīsulí ʻi heʻene tafe atu ʻi hono ʻaluʻanga kuo vaheʻí … pea mo hono taʻofi ʻo e Māfimafí mei heʻene lilingi hifo ʻa e ʻilo mei he langí ki he ʻulu ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimuí Ní” [Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 121:33].
Te ke lava ʻo maʻu ha fakahā fakataautaha ki hoʻo ngaahi fiemaʻú mo ho ngaahi tūkungá
ʻOku tataki ʻe he ʻEikí Hono Siasí ʻo fakafou ʻiate kinautolu ʻokú ke poupouʻi ko e kau palōfita, kau tangata kikite, mo e kau tangata maʻu fakahaá.
