Ua holokiki mai la o Touwili i o’u la mai kona hale ponoi mai, a ma kahi paha he ekolu haneri iwilei mai ke alaloa aku, ua kahea mai la oia: *‘E Misa, kaumaha loa kena hana ia oe, E ae mai oe ia’u e kokua aku ia oe!” ' Me ke kali ole no ka pane ia aka, ua kauoha ae la oia he elua mau keiki e kau-o i ke kaa ma ka huki ana ina ka piko o ke kaula, a iaia ponoi no hoi kekahi aoao, a hoomaka aku la e huki e like me ka ikaika o ka lio.

Nolaila, ua pane aku la au laia makeiaao: “Ke hauoli nui loa nei au e Louwili, ua makemake oe e haalele i na mea a pau no ka hoohauoli ana aku ia Iesn. Ua kupouo io no, no ka mea, ua molia mai oia i kona ola makamae Ko’u iho, ua maopopo no ia oe aohe o’u puhi paka; a ma ko’u hoomaopopo ana, ua manao au aohe he mea maikai no’u, a he hewa no hoi ina au e hoomaunauna wale aua i ko’u manawa a me ka’u dala, a malia o ko’u ola kekahi e hoopoinoia ma ka noke wale ana no ike puhi i ka uwahi o ka paka a pohina ka lewa.
