      A tasu kihi na pakupaku raara bona maa vahara vasu ae amaa pihae vai to sabin taparata. Eara na kisi ni rara a vasu teo peho paka pihae, eara repaa huu koa nia iri teo peho punete paka pihae eara repaa vaagunaha e.

      We do the tasu kihi with little stones and the leaves of a young coconut frond that has not opened yet. We tie a stone into the leaf of a coconut frond and then we insert the hook into one edge of the coconut frond and let it go down.
