Upoko XXVII.
Te Tangata Mohoao. Ko te Roto marino i waenganui o nga pukepuke matomato i reira tetahi taone i noho ai te &ai Kauwhau e aki tonu mai ana te mano kite whakarohgo ki aia a ; he kauwhau tonu tana mahi
i te taha o taua Roto. Heoi, ngenge noa iho ia, no te mea ko nga ahiahi anake te wa watea ona. Otira kihai te mano i pai kite whakarere i a ia i ahuareka hoki ratou kite whakarongo ki a ia. I te mea ka to te ra ka unga atu ratou e ia kia haere ki o ratou whare. Eke ana ratou ko ona hoa tekau mama ki runga ki te Kaipuke ko etehi o nga tangata i eke ki runga ki nga poti. Na rere ana ratou whakawhiti ana ki tera taha o te Roto kotahi tekau nga maero. - He po pouri taua po. Na ko te tino putanga mai o te hau ki taua Roto He tupuhi nui rawa. A, eke ana nga ngaru ki runga kite Kaipuke a tomo noa tata pu te Kaipuke kite taliuru. I whea rate Ariki ? Ka rapu ona hoa i a ia. Ka kitea ia e moe ana i runga i tetehi urunga i te kei o te Kaipuke, ka whakaara ratou i a ia. Ka hari hoki no te mea i runga ano ia i to ratou kaipuke e moe ana, i wehi hoki ratou i te putanga mai o taua tupuhi. I miharo hoki te Ariki kia ratou i tona kitenga i a ratou e wehi ana Na ka ara ia, Ka hamumu atu ki te hau ki nga ngaru mutu whakarere te tupuhi marino ana te Roto. A miharo ana nga tangata katoa i runga i te Kaipuke Otiia kihai pea ona hoa i whai whakaaro ki a Ihowa i to ratou kitenga i taua tupuhi ina hoki te kaha o to ratou wehi Ka whiti atu ratou ki tera taha o ta Roto ka mahuta atu ratou ki uta. Na, he wahi wai kore maroke rawa ! Kahore ano hoki he whare. He whenua pukepuke ururua kowhatu me nga Ana nunui e hurihia ai etehi kowhatu nunui ki o ratou kuwaha. Kowai ra e noho ki roto ki ena Ana ? Whakarongo ! he tangi! he aue
nui ! he aue kaha! Ko eteh* kararehe ranei e tangi whakahaehae ana? E, ehara ite mea ko nga kararehe mohoao o tenei ao tena e tangi whakabaehae na. ! Engari he tangata haurangi e haereere ana i roto i nga kowhatu i runga i nga maunga e moe ana ji roto i nga Ana Kaore e kakahu i te kakahu, he tuwhenua, tetea noa iho ona niho. E mau ana nga tohu ki ona ringaringa me J ona waewae ko nga tohu o nga mekameka i herea ai ia i mua I taua wa kahore he mekameka i a ia. Na, hopi noa iho ia tangata ia tangata i te kitenga i a ia kite kite hoki te tangata i a ia i tawhiti ka oma, e tia ano ia he raiona kite mahara atu. Na, kei reira ano kei tetehi o aua maunga matomato tetehi kahui poaka e kai ana i reira ano o ratou kai whangai te kitenga o aua pononga i taua tangata mohoao wehi ana ratou. Ka anga te Ariki ratou ko ona hoa ka haereere i roto i nga kowhatu me nga ana o taua wahi ka kite mai taua tangata mohoao i a ratou e haere mai ana mete oma mai tika tonu mai kia ratou. I wehi ranei te Ariki ki taua tangata ? I hoki ranei kite Kaipuke kia ora ai ? kaore engari i tatari ia kia tae mai taua tangata kia ratou. I tukino ranei taua tangata i te Ariki, kaore. Engari i takoio ia ki tona aroaro i inoi atu ki a ia. Na, ka korero atu te Ariki ki a ia. He mea whakamiharo Whakaohorere i te ngakau o te tangata. Na, te kahui poaka e kai ra i tawhiti i runga i tetehi o -aua maunga i te taha o te Roto. Na, te tino rerenga katoatanga o te kahui poaka rate pari kite moana, ka mate iho kite wai. Na marie iho taua tangata nanakia o mua, ka hoatu ki a ia he kakahu e
tetehi tangata. A, noho marie ana ia ki nga waewae o te Ariki. Mete koa mete aroha nui ki tona Ariki. _ Kowai ena tangata e oma mai na i runga i nga maunga hohoro tomi mai kihai i whakaaro kite ngenge mete he o nga manawa ? He wehiwehi he riri no ratou ! Ka haere mai ratou id te Ariki ki tona hoki ratou i te whakatakariri ka ki atu te mano kia haere atu te Ariki. A haere atu ana ia no te mea kihai ratou i hiahia ki a ia. Ano ka eke ia kite Kaipuke ratou tahi ko ona hoa ka hiahia tahi taua tangata rawakore kia eke ia ki runga ki te kaipuke, Otiia kihai a Ihu i tuku i a ia, Na noho ana taua tangata Rawakore i roto i te hunga nanakia e koa ra kite haerenga atu o te Ariki.
