He whakakitekite nui whakaharahara tenei. E 270 eka e kapi ana i nga whare, i nga taiapa. Ko te utu katoa o te whakaarahanga, o te whakahaerenga e £5, 000,000. He nui nga mea tino whakamiharo atu e kitea ki tenei whakakitekite. He maha nga rere wai he mea ata hanga e whangaia ana e te 500,000 karani iia haora, iia haora; ko te mea nui rawa o aua rere e 30 putu te tiketike 100 putu te whanui. Kei reira te ruuma nui atu i te ao katoa, e eke ana kite 15,000 tangata e noho ana ki roto ; kei reira ano hoki tetahi karaihe titiro whakaharahara, e £60,000 te utu. Tino tata tonu mai te ra mete marama kite tirohia atu i roto i taua karaihe. Kite noho te tangata kite pito ki runga ote marangaranga ( see-saw ) ka puta ia ki runga ake o Parihi.

Kei te whakaeke te mano, te tini o te tangata, o nga wahi katoa o te ao ki Parihi i enei ra, ki te matakitaki i te mahi a te Wiwi. E kiia ana tera e eke kite e pau ki Parihi i te kumenga a tenei whakakitekite. Auahi ana ! Ka kino te haere a te W T iwi!
