KO Daniel naʻá ne taʻu hongofulu ʻi heʻene fāinga mo e kanisaá ʻi ha taʻu. Naʻe mole ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻene kau toketaá, ʻo aʻu ki he niʻihi kehe naʻe vāofi mo e kiʻi tamasiʻí. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke mole ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻa Daniel. Naʻá ne tui te ne tupu hake ʻo hoko ko ha tokotaha fekumi pea tokoni ke maʻu ha faitoʻo ki he kanisaá. Naʻá ne ʻamanaki lelei ki he teu ke ʻaʻahi mai ha toketā ʻoku mataotao ʻi he faitoʻo ʻo e kanisā naʻá ne maʻú. Neongo ia, ʻi he aʻu ki he ʻaho ko iá, naʻe kaniseli ʻa e ʻaʻahi ʻa e toketaá koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻa e ʻeá. Naʻe siva ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻa Daniel. Ko e fuofua taimi ia naʻe mole ai hono iví. Naʻá ne mate ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi pē mei ai.

Ko e talanoa fekauʻaki mo Daniel naʻe lave ki ai ha tokotaha ngāue ki he tokangaekina ʻo e moʻui leleí ʻa ia naʻá ne ako ki he kaunga ʻo e ʻamanakí mo e siva ʻa e ʻamanakí ki he moʻui leleí. Kuó ke fanongo nai ʻi ha talanoa meimei tatau. Ko e fakatātaá, ko ha tokotaha taʻumotuʻa ʻoku mei mate ka ʻokú ne vēkeveke ke aʻu ki ha meʻa mahuʻinga naʻá ne tatali fuoloa ki ai​—pe ko e ʻaʻahi mai ha tokotaha ʻofeina pe ko e fakamanatu ha ʻaho mahuʻinga. ʻI he ʻosi atu pē ʻa e meʻa ko iá, ʻoku vave leva ʻene maté. Ko e hā ʻoku kaunga ki he ngaahi tuʻunga ko iá? ʻOku ʻi ai moʻoni ha mālohi ʻo e ʻamanakí hangē ko e tui ʻa e niʻihi?

ʻOku pehē ʻe he kau fekumi fakafaitoʻo tokolahi ko e fakatuʻamelié, ʻamanakí mo e ngaahi ongoʻi pau kehe ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene tākiekina mālohi ʻi he moʻui mo e moʻui lelei ʻa ha taha. Ka ko e ngaahi vakai ko iá ʻoku faingataʻa ke fai ha loto-tatau ki ai. ʻOku fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe he kau fekumi ʻe niʻihi ʻa e ngaahi taukaveʻi ko iá ʻo pehē ko ha ngaahi talatupuʻa ʻikai hano makatuʻunga. ʻOku nau fakakaukau ko e mahamahaki fakaesinó ʻoku ʻikai ha kaunga ki ai ʻa e ngaahi ongoʻí ko e fakatupunga pē ia ʻe ha siemu pe lavea.

Ko e moʻoni, ko e veiveiua fekauʻaki mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e ʻamanakí ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa foʻou. ʻI he taʻu ʻe laui afe kuo maliu atú, naʻe kole ki he filōsefa Kalisi ko ʻAlisitōtoló ke ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻamanakí pea naʻá ne pehē: “Ko ha misi ʻāʻā.” Pea ki muí ni mai, ko e taki fakapuleʻanga ʻAmelika ko Benjamin Franklin naʻá ne lea fakaanga: “Ko ia ʻoku nofoʻaki ʻamanakí te ne mate ʻaukai.”

Ko e hā leva ʻa e moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻamanakí? ʻOku ʻuhinga pē ia ki ha fakaʻamu, ko ha founga ke kumi ai ʻa e kakaí ki ha fakafiemālie ʻi he ngaahi misí? Pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻuhinga mahuʻinga ke vakai ai ki he ʻamanakí ʻo ʻikai ko ha misi pē​—ko ha meʻa ʻoku tau fiemaʻu kotoa koeʻuhi ko ʻetau moʻui leleí mo e fiefiá, ko ha meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai hono makatuʻunga moʻoni mo ʻaonga moʻoni?
