HE WAKAAROHATANGA.
I te tahi o nga ra o Mei i te tau 1843, ka puta mai ki toku kainga e tahi tamariki maori. Ka mea atu ahau ki a ratou, "E koro ma! e kore koutou e pai, kia haere kite tiki rakau maku i roto ra hei taratara ?" Ka mea mai, " E pai, kia pehea te rarahi o te rakau?" Ka meinga atu e ahau. " Kia rarahi kau ake i te moroiti, kia hei ai te \frhakapiko hei hanga whare marwmaru hoki maku/' Haere ana aua tamariki kite kainga, tae atu ka mea. " N.o ko matou i te pakeha ra, a e tono ana kia haere matou kite rakau taratara mona." Ka mea mai te tahi " haunga ano te utu ma koutou, ko ; te .tabi iLtu ki au, kite kahore, e kore koutou e tukua ki te 4a." Ka rongo ahau ki ana korero papai, ka oho te tangata tawhito i roto i au, puta ana te pumahu ki aku mata, ka mea au ka tahi ano taku oiahi whakatupu taurekareka* ka whakataka riri pu ahau ki tena hunga. " Ara he ture enei no ratou —ka haere ki ti pao kaho, me utu ; ka haere kite pere toetoe, me utu ; ka haere kite hui torotoro rue utu; ka haere kite tua pou, me utu; ka haere kite kokoti nikau me utu; ka haere kite wbai wahie ,
me utu; ka haere kite ta taratara me utu; ka haere kite hi ngohi me utu; me etahi atu mea e taea ra nei e ahau te rapu ? Meake mea pea te tangata titiro i enei rarangi, : " k© wai ra tenei tangata?" Kia mea atu ahau, ko Ngaponu, tama a RarekaTe, ko te Poka te ingoa o tona hapu, kote ingoa ote kainga ko Torerete. Otiia na Ngapunu e hara i a ia enei ritenga, na Tio, a e rotigo ana ahau kite korero,e whakahekia ana taua tangata apo e etahi o nga tangata maori, no te mea, e tahaetia ana e ia nga utu o ana ritenga whakaaroha ki a ia anake, ekore e "ho atu etahi mo ratou. Ahea*ra tenei iwi afa mai ai i roto i te ouru ? Alrea ra ratou whakatuputangata ni ? Ko to ratou tino Atua he taonga! Ete ngakau apo! ma te taonga koe ka aha ai? Ko te tahi terre] o nga mekameka o Hatana liei herei o koutou waewae ! ina hoki, ka rua te kau tau koutou i akona ai e nga " pouonga o te ripeka," kahore ano he hua pai. He whakaakoranga hou tenei, te nuipepa, me kore ranei e tahuri mai tenei iwi pakeke kite pai, me kore ranei e whakarere i o ratou ritenga maori, a kia tango ratou i a te pakeha ritenga. Na kite mea ka whakarerea katoatia o ratou he, a ka tahuri pono mai kite pai; ka liari rawa riga kai kauwhau, ka hari ano hoki nga kai tuhituhi nuipepa.
