He said,"don't worry i will take care of this." So he went of on his journey through the islands of Samoa looking for this man. When the sun was behind the horizon he saw the man, he grab a rock and  strike him. He felt sad, His sister saw what he did. She said, "Su'a, you better leave Samoa or else you will go prison".
