The wealth of the white man is the money. Our valuables are the shell money, the bats' teeth and the shells that they polish and the avuin shell. The valuables of the Highlanders are the bottoms of the vuuvuatovo shell. They crack them and then polish them and make them beautiful. The second kind of valuables are the nene shells.
