      Amaa vasu paa rutarutaa oha nom ei menaa sa paa antee haa nom tea tasu kihi nia iri.

      The stones were too small; and I could not do the tasu kihi angling with the hook.

      Beara haraa voen a kanono paa gunaha vaanteu, eara repaa tasu kihi nio paka pihae, a vasu repaa dovo gunaha, beara rahi hiava kokoraa vaha koa a iri. A iri he a vaapopoto bana koa. A iana kahi kotou beara rahi hiava vaha batara a kanono.

      When we feel that the line has gone down far enough, we shake and tear the coconut frond leaf so that the stone goes down, while we just pull the empty hook up. But the hook is still dressed up. The fish will bite while we are pulling up the string.
