Ekieki usun mesemi mi kuna, seningemi mi rong, me autun poumi mi tongeni mefi mettoch mi amwarar unukkum. Ren tupuemi oua tongeni kaeo, ekiek, me finata.

Oua amarita ekkoch me nein ekkei nikinikin me mwen oua uputiw. Me ekkoch oua amarita ikei won fonufan20 nupwen oua achocho ne angeir.21

Eu nikinikinen ngun mi kon auchea ena pwisen-nemenem—ewe pochokun ne pworacho ngeni mochenin inisich. Pwisin-nemenem a apochokuna ach sinei met mi pung. Me ach sinei met mi pung a afisi met sipwe fori nupwen sia kuna osukosuk mi weires, me uren sossot. Ami echikipin a anisikemi ne pwisin nemeni mochinin inisimi.

Ach uku mochenin inisich esap mecheres fansoun meinisin. Ese wor emon me neich mi unusoch ne ukur.24 Sia mwanino. Mettoch mi mwan a fis. Sia tipis. Iwe met sipwe for? Sia tongeni kaeo senir.

Pupunu nefinen emon mwan me emon fefin ena an Kot napanap pwe sipwe feioch won fonufan me won nang.
