He Korero paki
Tera tetahi Poti tino nanakia, e whai ana i tetahi Kiore. Engari, Ko taua Kiore he nanakia ano, a he matau hoki Ki te Whakarongo Ki nga ahua tangi o te reo. Ahakoa pehea te whai a te Poti, Kore Ke e mau i aia. Na wai ra, Ka whakaaro te Poti nei me pehea ra, e rarua ai i a ia taua Kiore. I tetahi ata Ka rongo te Kiore e au au ana te Kuri. Ka mea ia, “Ka pai Kua watea te huarahi hei puta atu moku Ki waho Ki te painene i te ra.” Puta atu ana te Kiore, Kapoa mai ana e te Poti. Ka mea te Poti, “Koiana te pai o te rua o nga reo.” Te whakatauaki mo tenei Korero paki Akona nga reo e rua, Ka Kore Koe a matau Ki nga Kinaki.
