Tenei kua taia e matou i tetahi wahi o tenei nuipepa nga korero o te taua pakeha kua tae ki Opotiki, te matenga hoki o nga Hau Hau o reira. Nana hoki i whakarongo ki nu;a tangata kua pumitia nei, a Kereoparaua ko Patara; a mahue ana ta ratou noho pai, tahuvi ana kite kohuru ito ratou matua ate Wakana, te tangata atawhai nui i a ratou. Toaa hokinga iho ko ratou ano; apopo hoki ko tona kainga ka riro. JN'a, he mate te homaitanga a te Hau Hau ki era tangata; hua noa pea ratou he pai i tahuri ai. Katahi ano matou ka kite i tenei hanga te manaaki i te kuri puihi; he hanga whanako hoki ia. Kua whakaporangitia te whakaaro o era tangata e Hatana i mahue ai te pai mete ora, i rere ai ki runga kite kino, mete mate. Ahea rawa ra mohio ai nga tangata; ahea rawa marama ai te whakaaro? Te titiro nga Hau Hau ki te parau o a ratou poropiti i ki ra kia rere matou kite moana i a ia; te titiro ki etahi o ratou e mate ana i tena taha, i tena taha; te titiro ki nga kainga e riro ana, nga taonga, nga aha, a ka mohio ake pea ehara ta ratou mahi i te mahi atua, engari he rupahu noa iho no te tangata kia puta ai tona whakaaro kino, kohuru. Kite tukua ta ratou tikanga kia puta, tena e pehea te otinga ? Tona otinga ra he pena me nga ritenga o mua, ekore e reka te moe, te kai, te aha, i te wehi—ka he noa iho. E nga iwi tika o te moutere nei kia kaha te hutihuti i tenei taru kino e tupu ake ana i waenganui i a tatou, koi ngaro te whenua.
