Kia kotahi hoki te nupepa i muri atu i tenei ka tutuki te tau, ka taea hoki te marama i timata ai te mahi. I ta matou kokiritanga i tenei waka kite wai, hua noa tera e tokomaha nga tangata e eke niai ki runga hoe ai kia tika ai te ha 're, kia ora ai i te ngaru. Otira, kua parau ia taua whakaaro ; ko matou anake ano (ko o matou hoa tnaori ruarua nei hoki) nga kai hoe ; kaore hoki matou i tirohia mai e te tokomaha e whakauaua noa ana kite hoe kai ma ratou—ma te tokomaha hoki nga utanga o tenei waka, ehara i te mea ma nga kai hoe anake. Ko tenei e paepae haere ana ta tatou waka, ka tata te eke ki ruuga kite tahuna takoto ai. Heoti nei ano te iwi o tenei motu i whai nupepa o tona kainga tonu ake ko Ngatikahungunu anake ano. Ta matou ki tera e manawareka a Kahungunu ki toua taonga, hei bapai i tona ingoa i runga ake i o etahi iwi. Mete mea hoki he nui rawa no nga utu mo te tau i matakutia ai —otira e pai ana, hei aha hoki ki a matou ? ehara hoki ia i te nupepa mo matou, e nui ana a matou nupepa. I meatia ai tenei nupepa hei taonga mo te tangata maori anake ano, kia rite ai ki nga pakeha te rougo i te korero, te whakaputa hoki i tona whakaaro. Otira e mohio ana matou ehara i te moni kore i kore ai e manaakitia tenei taonga—he puta ke marire no te ngakau. Tera nga tangata e tuhituhi mai ana ki a matou kia kaua e whakamutua te mahi o te nupepa nei. Na, he kupu atu tenei ki aua tangata. Kite nui to ratou hiahia kia mau tonu te nupepa nei, me tahuri ratou ki o ratou hoa korero ai kia manaakitia nuitia; mo runanga—katahi pea ka tika. Inahoki he mea runanga anake nga mea paku noa nei: ko te nupepa, te mea nui,
ekore erunangatia. Heoi a matou kupu inaianei. I puta ai enei kupu a matou, he inea ka tata te taea te mutunga o te tau, no reira i raea ai kia ata whakaarohia to koutou taouga—koi kore. Ekore e pouri te ngakau i te mea e noho touu ana nga huanga o te tangata i te aroaro ; kia ngaro, katahi ka rougoua te mamae. Hei kona ra koutou.
