   Ko e meʻa-foaki ʻa Sēiní

   “ ʻI ha pongipongi ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Sēini Kolova, Kui Tangata ko Tená, pea mo hono mokopuna fefine mei honau ʻapitanga paioniá ʻa ia ne ofi Council Bluffs, ʻAiouá, ko ʻenau toli fuaʻi fuamelie vaó. Naʻe helaʻia vave ʻa e kui tangatá peá ne foki leva ia ki he salioté ʻo mālōlō, ka naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻa hono maʻu ʻe he ongo tamaki fefiné ʻa e fuaʻi pelu huhua lanumatá pea naʻá na nofo ʻo toli ke fonu ʻa ʻena kané.

   “Fakafokifā pe kuo haʻu ʻa e efú ʻo ne maumaʻu ʻa e fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e ʻea mokomoko ʻo e pongipongí. Naʻe fuʻu manavahē ʻaupito ʻa e ongo tamaiki fefiné ʻi heʻena mamata atu ki ha kulupu ʻo e kau ʻInitiá ʻoku nau lele atu ki he salioté, ʻo vete ʻa e vala ʻo ʻena kuí. Naʻa nau ʻave hono uafí mo ʻene helé pea nau feinga foki ke tuli mo e fanga hōsí.

   “Naʻe maʻu atu ʻe he taha ʻo e kau ʻInitiá ʻa e kiʻi taʻahine siʻisiʻí, ʻa ē naʻe kamata ke tangi ʻi heʻene ilifiá; naʻe feinga atu ʻa e toko taha ke ne ʻave fakamālohiʻi ʻa Sēini. ʻI heʻene fute takai ke ne haó, naʻá ne fai leva ha kiʻi lotu nounou mo fakamāfana ke maʻu ha tokoni.

   “Naʻe aʻusia ai ʻe Sēini ha faʻahinga meʻa ko ha mālohi naʻe mahulu ange ia ʻi ha toe meʻa naʻe lava ke ne ʻilo. Fakafokifā pe kuo kamata ke ne lea ʻi ha faʻahinga leʻo naʻá ne hanga ʻo ngaohi ʻa e kau ʻInitiá ke taʻofi hono fakamālohiá pea mo taʻofi ka nau fanongo ange kiate ia. Naʻa nau fuʻu ofo, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he kiʻi taʻahine siʻisiʻi ko ʻení ʻoku lea ange ʻi heʻenau leá, ʻo ne kole ke nau manatuʻi muʻa ʻa e Fuʻu Laumālie Lahí, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fie maʻu ke nau fakamamahiʻi honau ngaahi kaungāmeʻa hinehiná.

Naʻe kalokalo ʻa e ngaahi ʻulu ʻo e kau ʻInitiá pea mo fakafoki ange ʻa e uasí, helé mo e vala naʻa nau ʻavé. Hili iá naʻa nau lulululu mo kinautolu kotoa pea nau ʻalu fakalongolongo leva” (naʻe toe fai ʻa e talanoá ʻe Lucile C. Reading, “Shining Moments,” Children’s Friend, July 1941, p. 41).

   • Ko e hā e meʻa-foaki fakalaumālie naʻe maʻu ʻe Sēini Kolová? (Ko e meʻa-foaki ʻo e ʻēleló.) Ko e hā naʻá ne lava ai ke lea ki he kau ʻInitiá ʻi heʻenau leá? (Naʻá ne lotu ʻo kole ki he Tamai Hēvaní ha tokoni; ko ia naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e meʻa-foakí).

   Ko e fai fakamoʻui ʻa Sioné

   “Naʻe taʻu hongofulu mā taha ʻa Sīone Lutulofi [ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí] naʻá ne nofo ʻi Lotatemi, Hōlani. Naʻe ʻi ai ha taimi ʻe taha naʻá ne fiefia ai ʻi he ʻalu ki he akó mo lotú, vaʻinga mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, pea fai mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻe lava ʻe ha kiʻi tamasiʻi ke fiefia aí. Kā, naʻe fakafokifā pe, kuo hoko mai ha māhaki fakamamahi ʻo ʻikai te ne toe lava ke sio. Naʻe ʻikai te ne toe lava ke ʻalu ki he akó pe lautohi. Naʻe ʻikai foki te ne toe lava ʻo sio lelei ke vaʻinga mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. Ko e ʻaho kotoa pē naʻe fonu ʻi he fakapoʻuli mo e mamafi.

   “Naʻe aʻu mai ki he Kāingalotu ʻo Hōlaní ʻe ʻaʻahi ange ʻa Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita [ko e Palesiteni ia hono fitu ʻo e Siasí]. Naʻe nofo ʻa Sione ʻo fakakaukau ʻi ha taimi lahi ki he meʻá ni, pea hili iá naʻá ne pehē ange ki heʻene fineʻeikí, “Oku maʻu ʻe he palōfitá ha mafai ʻoku toe mahulu ange ʻi ha toe taha ʻi he māmaní. Pea ʻo kapau te ke ʻave au ki he fakatahá koeʻuhí ke ne lava ke mamata ki hoku matá, ʻoku ou tui ʻe fakamoʻui au.’

   “Ko e taimi ne fakaʻosi ai ʻa e fakatahaʻangá ʻi he Sāpate hoko maí, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ki he konga ki mui ʻo e kiʻi fale lotu siʻisiʻi ko ʻení ke feʻiloaki mo e kakaí mo lulululu mo kinautolu taki taha. Naʻe tokoni ʻa Sisitā Lutulofi kia Sione, he naʻe lalava pe ʻa hono matá, ke nau ʻalu atu mo e niʻihi kehé ke nau talanoa pea mo honau takimuʻa ʻofaʻangá.

   “Naʻe taki atu leva ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita ʻa e kiʻi tamasiʻi kuí pea mo ha fuʻu tokanga moʻoni ʻo ne toʻo ʻa e ngaahi palasitaá mo ne sio ki he mata ʻo Sioné. Naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe he palōfitá ʻa Sione pea naʻá ne palōmesi ange ʻe ʻā ʻa hono matá ʻo ne lava ke sio.

   “ ʻI heʻene aʻu atu ki ʻapí, naʻe toʻo ʻe he fineʻeikí ʻa e ngaahi palasitaá ʻo hangē ko e fakahinohino ʻa e toketaá ke fufulu ʻa hono matá. Ko e taimi naʻá ne toʻo aí, naʻe kaila ʻa Sione mo ʻene fiefiá, “Oiaué, Mama, kuo sai hoku matá. ʻOku ou lava lelei pe ʻo sio ʻi he taimí ni—pea toe lōloa atu foki. Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u toe ongoʻi haʻane langa!’” (“President Smith Took Him by the Hand,” Friend, Aug. 1973, p. 36).

   • Ko e hā e meʻa-foaki fakalaumālie naʻe maʻu ʻe Sione Lutulofí? (Ko e tui ki he fakamoʻuí.) Ko e hā e meʻa naʻá ne fakafaingofuaʻi ʻa Sione ke fakamoʻui iá? (Naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e meʻa-foaki ʻo e fai fakamoʻuí pea mo maʻu ʻa e tui ʻi he meʻa-foaki ʻo e palōfitá te ne fakamoʻui ia.)

Fakaafeʻi ha taha ke ne fai ʻa e lotu tukú.
