Na nga korero o nga tangata o Rangiwhakaoma mo ta ratou kuri i puta ai ta matou whakaaro kia korerotia etahi o nga mahi a te kuri pakeha. He tika ano ra, he taonga rawa ano tenei hanga te kun mohio. Mete mea i whakaritea e te Atua tenei tu kun hei hoa rawa mo te tangata—me tona aroba nui ki tona ariki. Pie hoa tangata nei ano ka taea te whakakiki; tena he hoa kuri ma vvai rawa e whakakiki e riro ko ai tona whakaaro x tona ariki ? Ahakoa mate au i te katoa te patu, ko taku kuri anake e tangi tonu ki au • ko taku kun anake e pumau tonu, e piri tonu ki au i roto i toku mate. He maha nga tangata o te pakeha i ora ake i te mate i te. mohio. i te aroba nui o tenei hanga o te kuri. Tena kei tetahi whenua pakeha nga kun pai rawa. He whenua huka taua whenua; he kino noa iho i te hotoke. Ka rokohanga te ope haere i runga hiwi i te marangai, he mea anokangaro katoa ratou i roto i te huka mate iho._ Kei reira, kei runga i aua hiwi, tetahi whare nui e tu ana: ko nga tangata noho i roto no te Pikopo-kei a ratou nga kuri e ki nei matou. Ko te mahi o aua kuri be arahi haere i o ratou ankn runga hiwi kite kimi i te tangata kua mate i te huka, ka eke ki runga kite wahi i ngaroai tetahi tangata, ka tu te ihu ki runga ka, tangi, mun iho ka tahuri kite rakuraku, kite tahUahi i te huka: ka taea te tangata e mate ana ka amohia e nga an ki o nga kuri kite whare rongoa ai me kore e ora ake-be maha nga tangata i ora i te penei. Ko tetahi mahi o aua "kuri; ka herea e nga ariki te kete kai kite kaki tarewa ai ko te patara waipiro ki roto, katahi ka tukuna kia l)aere Ka haere tonu aua kuri nei, tika ke tetahi, tika ke tetahi; ka kimi haere tonu, ka kitea te taneata e mate ana i te hauaitu, ka kai iai te kai, ka iuu ite patara waipiro i roto i te kete, ko te ake—katahi ka arahina e te kuri ki to whare °
Tenei hoki tetahi. Tokorua nga rangatira c haere ana i te huanui i te koraha i Ingarani me te kuri ano—he kuri nui, Haere ana raua. aka tahun te mea nana te kuri kai te korero ki tona hoa kite matauranga o tona kuri ki nga mahi ate tangata. Katahi ka mea raai te hoa kia kitea e ■is tetahi o nga mahi a taua kuri. Heoi, tangohia ana e te anki o te kuri tetahi herengi i roto i tona pakete ; kua tae kite kohatu papa e takotoana i te taha o te huanui, ka whakatakoto te herengi i raro iho i taua kohatu—iwhaitohutia rawatia te herengi i te tuatahi, muri iho ka whakaaturia ki te kun kia mohiotia e ia. Heoi haere ana mai ratou ; ka torn raaero e haere ana katahi ka ki atu te anki kia hoki te kuri kite tiki ite herenn —ko te hokinga ote kuri i hoki ai. Haere tonu mai uua tangata ka tae mai ki to raua kainga tatan at kite kuri. Tatari tonu, po iho, ao ake —te puta mai te kuri. No te awateatanga ake ka puta mai te kuri ra me tetahi tarau tangata i te waha e mau ana. Katahi ka tirohia nga pakete ete ankio te kun. kitea ana taua herengi iwhaitohutia ra. me etahi atu moni. mete waati hiriwa i roto. No te tononga o te ariki kia hoki tona kuri ki to tiki i te herengi. tena te hoki nei, a. ka tae ki te kohatu i hunaai te herengi; whakamatau noa u te paua i taua kohatu, te taea i te taumaha ; katahi ka takoto ite taha tangi ai. Ia ia ano e takoto ana i reira ka tae ake etahi pakeha tokorua 1 runga hoiho, ka kite iho i te kuri e tangi ana ka tuku tetahi o raua ki raro kite whenua. ka tae ki te kohatu ka hurihia, ka mauria te herengi ka hoatu ki roto kite pakete o tona tarau. Katahi ka haere raua, mete kuri ano i muri e whai ana ; e rua te kau maero e haere ana ka tae kite papankauta hei moenga mo raua. No te kite ruinii moenga mo raua ka tomo tahi atu hoki te kun ki roto. ka haere ki raro kite peti takoto ai. Ko te tarau o te tangata i a ia te herengi ka whakairia ki runga kite titi ite taha ote peti. No te weheruatanga, ka warea tangata 1 te moe, whakatika ana te kuri, tahaetia ana te tarau, rere ana i te matapihi, hoki tonu mai ana ki tona ariki mete tarau tonu ano. No muri iho ka panuitia kite nupepa ete ariki ote kun ; ka rongo te tangata nona te tarau ka haere mai kite tiki i tona waati, i ana moni, i tona tarau.
