TAAHANA.
I kite matou i te reta a Mihi Karanata o Karioi, ki ona hoa, he whakaatu i te nui o to ratou pouri ko tona taina me ana tamahine te matenga o tetahi o a ratou tamariki Maori 0 Tahana. Na ratou tonu i tiaki ki roto ito ratou whare a mate noa. Otira i hari o ratou ngakau i te haerenga o Tahana i runga i te matauranga kite Kai-whakaora, ko te oranga tonutanga nei tera. Ia ia e.takoto mate ana 1 puaki i a ia etahi kupu ataahua, he kupu whakaatu kahore kau ona wehi kite mate. I tona kitenga e pouri ana tetahi ona kai.-tiaki ka mea ia, “ Kaua e tangi. Ka haere ahau kite oranga tonutanga.” I ona whakaaro e huri ana i te kaha o te mate ka korero ngakautia eiate 3 mete 14 o nga upoko o Hoani, me tana karanga ano, “ Kua whanau hou ahau.” I te mutunga o tana korero pakeha i te 140 nga upoko ka mea ia, “ Beautiful, beautiful!” (te ataahua, te ataahua !) Hoatu ra, Tahana, kite kainga ataahua. Ko enei wahine pakeha he rangatira, na te aroha kite Maori ka mahue to ratou kainga i Otautahi ka haere ki roto o Whanganui, ki Karioi, e tata tonu ana ki te take o Ruapehu. “ E akiakina ana hoki matou e te aroha o te Karaiti.”
