ʻI he pō ʻe taha, naʻe ʻi ai ha misi fakailifia ʻa Nepukanesa. Naʻá ne ui mai ʻene kau tangata potó ke nau tala ange ʻa hono ʻuhingá. Ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻo kinautolu ʻe lava ke ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa ʻene misí. Naʻe faifai pē ʻo lea ʻa e tuʻí kia Taniela.

Naʻe tala ange ʻe Nepukanesa kia Taniela: ‘ʻI heʻeku misí, naʻá ku sio ai ki ha fuʻu ʻakau. Naʻe tupu ia ʻo māʻolunga ʻaupito ʻo aʻu ki he langí. Naʻe lava ke sio ki ai mei ha feituʻu pē ʻi he māmaní. Naʻe fakaʻofoʻofa ʻa hono laú pea fua lahi. Naʻe mālōlō ʻa e fanga manú ʻi hono malumalú, pea naʻe faʻu ʻe he fanga manupuná ʻa honau punungá ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻá. Naʻe ʻalu hifo leva ha ʻāngelo mei hēvani. Naʻá ne kaila: “Tā hifo ʻa e fuʻu ʻakaú, pea tutuʻu ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻá. Kae tuku pē ʻa hono tefitó mo hono ngaahi aká ʻi he kelekelé, pea haʻiʻaki ʻa e ukamea mo e kopa. ʻE liliu ʻa e loto ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú mei he loto ʻo ha tangata ki he loto ʻo ha manu, pea ʻe fakalaka ai ha kuonga ʻe fitu. ʻE ʻilo ai ʻe he kakaí kotoa ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e Pulé pea ʻe lava ke ne foaki ha puleʻanga ki ha taha pē ʻokú ne loto ki ai.”’

Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova kia Taniela ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e misí. ʻI hono mahinoʻi ʻe Taniela ʻa e misí, naʻá ne ilifia. Naʻá ne pehē: ‘ʻE hoʻo ʻafio, ʻoku ou fakaʻamu ange ko e misi ko ení naʻe fekauʻaki mo ho ngaahi filí, ka ʻoku fekauʻaki ia mo koe. Ko e fuʻu ʻakau lahi naʻe tā hifó ko koe ia. ʻE mole ho puleʻangá, pea te ke kai ʻa e musie ʻi he ngoué ʻo hangē ko ha manu kaivaó. Ka koeʻuhi ko e pehē ʻe he ʻāngeló ke tuku pē ʻa e tefitó mo hono ngaahi aká, te ke toe tuʻi pē.’

ʻI ha taʻu ki mui ai, naʻe luelue ʻa Nepukanesa ʻi he funga ʻato lafalafa ʻo hono palasí, ʻo ne fakaʻofoʻofaʻia ʻi Pāpilone. Naʻá ne pehē: ‘Vakai atu ki he fuʻu kolo fakaʻofoʻofa naʻá ku langá. Sio ki hoku mālohí!’ Lolotonga ʻene kei leá, naʻe ongo mai ha leʻo mei hēvani: ‘ʻE Nepukanesa! Kuo mole meiate koe ho puleʻangá.’

ʻI he taimi pē ko iá, naʻe mole ai ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa Nepukanesá peá ne hoko ʻo hangē ko ha manu kaivaó. Naʻe fakamālohiʻi ia ke ne mavahe mei hono palasí ʻo ne nofo mo e fanga manu kaivaó ʻi he ngoué. Naʻe loloa ʻa e ʻulu ʻo Nepukanesá ʻo hangē ko e fulufulu ʻo e ʻīkalé, pea naʻe hangē hono ngeʻesi nimá ko e pesipesi ʻo ha manupuná.

 Hili mei ai ha taʻu ʻe fitu, naʻe toe sai ʻa Nepukanesa pea naʻe ʻai ia ʻe Sihova ke ne tuʻi ki Pāpilone. Naʻe pehē leva ʻe Nepukanesa: ‘ʻOku ou fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova, ko e Tuʻi ʻo e langí. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi eni ko Sihova ʻa e Pulé. ʻOkú ne fakavaivaiʻi ʻa e kakai pōlepolé, pea ʻoku lava ke ne foaki ha puleʻanga ki ha taha pē ʻokú ne loto ki ai.’
