Tera he Pakeha i noho kite tuawhenua i Poihakene, a i runga i tana ahu-whenua, kaore i roa ka whiwhi kite whenua, kite kau, kite hoiho, mete tini atu ote taonga. He wainamu taua tangata ki nga wai-wbakahau-rangi. Nawai, a, ka huri te whakaaro ote tangata kite inu waipiro, ka hokohokona nga rawa kia na ai tana puku ki tera hanga. Itepo ka moemoea taua tangata, puta ana te nakalii neke (snake) i te waha o te pounamu ka mataku te tangata ra, mutu ake tana kai-waipiro, ka hoki mai ki a ia ana taonga, me tana mana; a, piri tonu atu. ia kite Hahi, waihotia ana ia, hei pononga tutnru kite Atua.
