Inia.
Tena te korero kei te nupepa o te 29 o Nowema nei e ki ana, tera he whare i Inia (India) tokotoru tangata i taua whare, ko te tane, ko te wahine, ko ta raua tama. Tera tetahi kai-hoko ringi, wati, me era atu hanga. I te kakarauritanga, ka tae atu te tangata hari taonga ra kite kainga o te tokotoru ra. Te taenga ki roto kite whare, ka mahora nga taonga, hokoa ana ehinu o aua hanga. Kia mutu ta raua hokohoko, ka hamumu ake te rangatira o te whare ki te kai-hari taonga, " E hoa, kua hakerekere tenei; me moe koe ki taku whare." Whakaae tonu te tangata ra. Katahi ka whakaritea, ko te tangata o te whare rao ko tana wahine ki to raua ruma ano, ko to raua tama hei hoa mo te kai-hoko taonga ki to raua ruma ano. Ka haere kite takoto; a, ka rongo hakiri ake te tangata taonga i te komemetanga o te tane raua ko te wahine, mete whakakoi ano i te mariki. Arara! ka tinia te tangata e te mataku; a, ka mea atu kite hoa tukua mai to moenga ki a au, ko toku ki a, koe. Whakaae ana te tamaiti ra. Takai marire ana te tangata i ana taonga; a, ka whakaropmepine
i nga kakaliu-moenga kia kiia ai he tangata e moe ana. Kia parangia te tamaiti ra e te moe, ka ngoki marire te tangata, ka puta ki waho piki tonu ake ki nga manga o tetahi rakau, e tupu ana ite marae. Na! ite mea, e nolio mai ra i te peka-rakau te kaihoko taonga ra, mete mataara tonu, tera te kokuru mai rate Iniana ra i tana tamaiti ake, hua noa ko te kai-hari taonga te okaokaia ra. Kia mate tana patunga, ka mohio te papa me te wkaea, e! ko ta raua tama tonu te tangata i tukitukia. Te auetanga i aue ai te wahine rao ko te tane ki ta rao malii, rongo noa te tangata e whakapipiri ana i roto i nga rau mawewe noa o te rakau ra. Roaroa ilio. ka puta te papa ra, mete kaheru i te ringa, haere tonu kite take o te rakau ra, e keri ana i te rua, mete titiro ilio te tangata e piri ra i roto i nga rau. Ka hokonu te rua, ka toia atu te tupapaku, whakataka ana tera, tanumia ake te poka. Te korikori te tangata i nga manga o te rakau ra, te aha, me he paua, e piri ana kite toka te kai-hoko ringi ra. Ite ata-iti ka heke te tangata ra, i tana rakau, ka koke atu ki tana whanatutanga. Tae tonu atu ki nga kai hapai i te Ture, korerotia iho e ia te kohurutanga, mete nehunga ote tupapaku kite take ote rakau ra. Haere atu ana nga kaiwhakatau, ka maranga i a ratou te hapai ake te tupapaku ra, hopukia tonutia iho te Kaikohuru ra; a, ka aratakina atu kite whakawakanga.
