Pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻoku tau ʻilo, he ʻoku tau maʻu kotoa pē ʻae ʻilo. ʻOku fakafuofuolahi ʻe he ʻilo, ka ʻoku langa hake ʻe he ʻofa. Pea kapau ʻoku mahalo ʻe ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ha meʻa, ʻoku teʻeki te ne ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku totonu ke ne ʻilo. Ka ʻoka ai ha taha ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻe ia. Pea koeʻuhi ko e kai ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻoku tau ʻilo, ko e tamapua ko e meʻa noa pē ʻi māmani, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha ʻOtua, ka ko e tokotaha pe. He neongo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻoku ui “ko e ngaahi ʻotua,” ʻi he langi pe ʻi he māmani, (he ʻoku ai ʻae “ʻotua” tokolahi, mo e “ʻeiki” tokolahi), Ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ko e Tamai, ʻaia ʻoku mei ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea maʻana ʻakitautolu; pea taha pe ʻae ʻEiki, ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, mo kitautolu ʻiate ia. Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata kotoa pē ʻae ʻilo ko ia: he ʻoku kei ai ni ʻae niʻihi ʻoku kai fākaliliʻa ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻatu ki ha tamapua, ʻo hangē ko ha moʻoni ia, pea ʻoku fakaului ai honau loto koeʻuhi ko ʻene vaivai. Ka ʻoku ʻikai fakaongolelei ʻakitautolu ʻe he meʻakai ki he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau lelei ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku tau kai; pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau kovi ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai te tau kai. Kae vakai telia naʻa ai ha meʻa ʻe hoko ai hoʻomou tauʻatāina ni ko e tūkiaʻanga kiate kinautolu ʻoku vaivai. He kapau ʻe mamata ha taha kiate koe, ʻa koe “ko e poto,” ʻoku ke nofo ʻo kai ʻi he fale ʻoe tamapua, ʻikai ʻe langa hake ai ʻae loto ʻo ia ʻoku vaivai, ke ne kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua; Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo “ʻilo” ʻe ʻauha ai ho kāinga vaivai, naʻe pekia ai ʻa Kalaisi? Ka ʻi hoʻomou angahala pehē ki he kāinga, ʻo fakakafo honau loto vaivai, ko hoʻomou fai angahala ia kia Kalaisi. Ko ia kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi hoku kāinga ʻe he meʻakai, ʻe ʻikai te u kai ʻae kakano ʻi he kei tuʻu ʻa māmani, telia naʻaku fakahalaʻi hoku kāinga.
