      The mango fruit has a stone (lit. fruit) inside, its name is papasuu. They eat the mango fruit, and then they throw the stone that is inside away. The stone inside is planted. The birds, too, like to eat mangoes.

      O bai vaoi he o mamaen, be vuri, ore paa kaapaa bara ore paa hunuhunuana ei eara repaa rake manae.

      But those mangoes are bitter. When (they) ripen, they become sweet and full of juice, so that we eventually like them.
