“Fekuki mo e mahamahakí ʻaki ʻa e tui ki he ʻOtuá,” ko e faleʻi ia ʻa e taʻu 58 ko Robert, “pea te ne tokoniʻi koe ke ke kātekina ʻa e mahamahakí. Lotu kia Sihova. ʻAi ke ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e anga hoʻo ongoʻí. Kole ʻa hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní. Kole kiate ia ki ha mālohi mo ha fakalototoʻa ki ho fāmilí pea ke ke hanganaki kātaki ai pē neongo ʻa e mahamahakí.”

Ko ia talanoa ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa anga-mahení.”
