TE WHARE WHAKAREWA MONI.
I a au i Poihakena i kite rawa au i te whare whakarewa moni te atua whakapokaikaha nei i nga whakaaro o te tangata. I ki ia tangata i ona ra, “ He putake hoki no nga kino katoa te aroha kite moni; he minamina ki tenei i kotiti ke ai etahi i te whakapono, a werohia putia iho ratou e nga mamae maha.” Na te aroha kite moni i patu ai te tangata i tona tinana, i takakino ai i tona ingoa ataahua, i tapahi ai i nga kaki o ona hoa, i tapae atu ai i tona tinana hei whakahere kite atua o te kino. Otira he mea te moni eot ai nga mahi papai, nga mahi nunui kite pai te whakahaere a te tangata. Ehara i te mea ko te moni te putake o nga kino katoa, engari ko te aroha kite moni. E he ai te tangata na tona tuku ko te moni hei rangatira mona, hei whakahaere i ana mahi, i ona whakaaro katoa engari me whiti ano ko te moni hei pononga mona, hei mahi i nga mahi e hiahiatia ana. Koia nei, ko te hanganga i te taputapu nei a te moni taku i kite ai. Na runga i te aroha o tetahi takuta ka whiwhi au kite tikiti e tukua atu ai kite whare whakarew r a koura. Ko te whakahaere i tenei whare kei raro ra ano i te mana o te Kawanatanga o Ingarangi, kaore i raro i te mana o te Kawanatanga o te koroni. He taiapa maitai ra ano te taiapa o taua whare, tu tonu ai te pirihimana i te keeti me tona pu, mana ra ano e huaki te keeti ka uru atu ai te tangata. Tokowhitu pea to matou ope matakitaki, ko o matou potae me a matou mea i o matou ringaringa i waiho atu i te ruuma i waho. Te ruuma tuatahi i tomo atu ai matou he roa, he whanui; ko te ruuma whakarewa tenei, he ruuma tino wera. Ma te whakarew’anga e wehe te paru i te koura ; i te whakamataotanga ka whakaritea ki te poro hopi te koura. I hikihiki rawa matou
ite poro koura; e hia mano pauna ranei i hikihiki rawa au nei. Na te pakeha ano i uta he poro koura ki runga i aku ringaringa. Ka mahue mai i a matou te ruuma whakarewa ka tomo atu ki tetahi ruuma ki tonu i te mihini. Te mihini tuatahi hei whakapapa i nga poro koura kia rite kite moni koura te matotoru. Heoi ano te main a tenei mihini. Ka tangohia mai te poro koura kua papa ra ka hoatu ki raro i tetahi mihini kia pokapokaia kia penei mete awherangi te rarahi; ka ngahoro atu i tetahi pito o te mihini i roto i te korere ki roto i te paepae, ano he kaanga te rite ote moni kite ngahoro. Ko te wahi o te papa koura kua kino te pokapoka ka whahokia kia whakarewaina mai ano. Ko te riihi kua ki ra i te koura ka kumea atu e tetahi taitamariki, ka aohia e ia te moni, ka whiu ai ki runga kite poro rino. Ma runga i te tatangi, ka mohio tonu ia ki nga mea mama, kaore i eke kite taimaha ote awherangi i whakaritea e te ture. Ko nga mea mama ka whakahokia ano kia tahuna mai, ko nga mea i tika ka ringihia ki roto i te mihini tuarua, kia whakatawakawakatia nga taha, a ka maringi ano i tetahi pito ki roto kite riihi. Te mahi a te mihini tuatoru he whakairo, ara he tuhituhi i tetahi taha ote moni; he mihini ke ano hei whakairo i tetahi taha. Te wawatanga ki waho o tenei mihini ko te tino otinga tonutanga hoki o te awherangi, uwirawira ana kanapa ana. Mauria atu ai nga riihi moni ki te ruuma o nga kai tuhituhi ma ratou e tatau. E kore rawa e ngaro tetahi paku koura, e tino tupatoria ana nga kai mahi kei huna i te koura, engari kite titiro atu nei kaore noa iho e tino tupato ana, ina hoki putu noa atu ai te moni. I puru rawa au i aku ringaringa ki roto kite riihi koura, a i pupuri rawa au i etahi —ki etahi e koro ma, e kui ma, ki etahi, ki etahi. Ka kino te haere ate moni!
