SISIMATAILAA According to Tonganlegend, Sisimatailaa was the son of the sun, but he fell ill when he had grown, and his mother toldhim to climb a hill and address the rising sun. This he did, and received from his father two packages:one was riches, and could be opened, the other was to remain closed. But on theway to Tonga by boat, Sisimatailaa's wife persuaded him to open the secondpackage, whereupon the boat sank under the weight of the things that emerged.
