A iana bona a tabaan a mataa, na aniani riori.
        The pasuaromo is quite a big fish. It stays everywhere in the lagoon, at the edge of the reef, near the ocean, and in the seaweed when the high tide comes. It feeds on little shells, little crabs, and also sand. The pasuaromo is grey on its belly. But its back looks a bit blackish. The fish is good food, it is eaten.
