Oho ana taua-nakahi i konei a, eke ana to mstou poti i runga atu o te takotoranga ote nakahi; kihai ia, i ata kitea atu te haerenga i nga puia rakau o taua wahi. Peke katoa ana aku hoa kite wai, ko au i poke atu kite rakau nwroke e tokato ana l reira ; kihai taku haerc i kalia i to mamae 0 aku wae, koia au te ata kitea atu omangi haeretanga o taua nakahi. I reira tata ka rnngona e ah;ui te pakutanga o tctahi pu i taku taha mani, ka rere atu au kite tin'ro he paru to taua wahi, to nga turi te mutunga, kotahi o aku hit i mihue ki roto kite paru, ko aku hoa kua tae, i muri noa mai au. Ko Te Oriona te tangata tuatahi i peke Ui raro, rere atu ana taua rangatira kite nakahi ra, rokohanga atu ka hou taua mea ki raro i tctahi rakau maroke, te makanga atu o te hoari ka tu ki taua mea, ko te kiri kau ia i mahore. Paheke haere ana taua nakahi i roto i te paru, no konei ka wharoro Te Oriona ki runga ki taua nakahi, a werohia, putia ana taua mea kite hoari ; haere tonu te nakahi, mete to haere ite rangatira ra, kotoa mete hoari; maroke ana te koinga o te hoiri ki tua, n, puta iho kite whenua, oliia, to haere ana te nakahi, Me he mea i ara inai i konei taua nakahi, me takaia a Te Oriona ki tana hiku kua mate ke tera. No te aranga o te matenga o taua mea, ka unuhia alu tetahi ranuatira, (ko l'ihamaka te ingoa) mete pu ; e haere ana ano te ringa ki to turaki, Eharal puta atu i te inatenga te mata, takoto ana taua nakahi, engia ano kua mate.

Ka hoki mai Te Pihamaka i konei mete pu, titaritari ana te angangn, a, mate whakauaua ana. Tae raiva atuan ka mate te nakahi i aku lioa. Kotalii ti kau ma ono putu te roa o tau nakahi, crua inihi kokiri; kotalii putu, eiwa inihi te punui. Ite pokanga o taua mea kotalii te kau ma rua liakari i kitea kite puku, ka kuwao i roto i aua hahari, takitahi, takirua putu te roa. Ko te hiako o te nakahi i tukua mai uiaku, i kopurepure te hiako, wliakauru ana te mca ma, te mea inangn, mete mea pakaka, he unnlii ano i runga. Ka taka ki to te kau ma rua o nga liaora ka rere to matou poti i roto i te awa o Amaliana (he awa wl.akahara no M irekena kite Tonga,) ko te hiako o te Poa (te nakahi) i whakatarea ki te tuanui o te poti kia maroke i te ra—No nga korcro o Piriniha Atarapcta.

Ekore te tangata e mate ina knaua kautia e taua mea; otiia, ekore tana kaha c korerotia he mea noa ki aia te riri; erna rarangi niho kite kauwae; ua patu ia ite kai mana, haere rua ko te takatakai, ko te ngau i te mea e hopukia e ia. He kau ra nei te mea i rokohin'a e ia, hohoro te takatakai, a, ka romia man?unau kere nga wheua, kope katoa te kiko. Ka mate tana kararehe te paiu, ka mitimitia katoatia ki tana huwhare, kia paheke ai ua horomia. Ehara tana kai i ta mea ngau, lie mea lioro katoa, a, hcoi te whtkahara o te poho i te horomanga o te kii. Ka kite puku, ka takolo noa ilio, hore he ngoi, hore he aha, a—malia noa nga wiki.]
