The Newly Caught Bird — Samoan Proverb Tee
O le punapuna a manu fou.
"The jumping about of a newly caught bird."
This alagaupu (Samoan proverb) comes from the moment right after a bird is snared: at first it thrashes and struggles with everything it has, trying to break free — but after a while it tires and gives in to its fate. Samoans use this saying as an upu faifai (critical or reproachful words) for someone who resists a task or a hardship with a burst of energy at the start, only to lose heart and give up rather than seeing it through with steady perseverance.
