Wā whakahaere: 134 meneti
E rua tau ki mua, ka ngaro taku matua. A wawe tonu te rawakore o toku hapu, a ka mea toku whaea, kihai nei i taea e ia te whakaheke i tona kara ora, ki ahau kia hokona toku tinana, ka mea, "Mo teneiianei tonu Ki taku whakaaro e ngongo ana. Engari i whakaae ahau. Ko ia anake tōku whānau. Ko taku hoa tuatahi te tino tama a taku whaea. E mahara ana ahau ki te ngaro i taku wahinetanga i a au e kurua ana e taku puku ngako, a, e tangi ana i te mamae. No taku hoatutanga i te moni ki a ia, ka karanga a ia, ka mea, "E pouri ana ahau," a, ka whakamahia e ia te moni hai hoko kākahu ātaahua. I muri iho i ētahi tāruatanga ruarua, ka kitea e ia he mahi hou, a, ka taea e au te hoki ki tōku oranga tahito. Kaore anō ahau kia rongo i tēnā ara. He pai ki te kōtiro noa iho. Na reira i aroha ai ahau. I tēnei rā ko te hākari raumati e tatari ana ahau ki mua. I whakaritea e au he whakaritenga kia tūtaki ki te toenga o te karaehe, a, ka mātakitaki i nga kāmura. E hiahia ana ahau ki te mau i tētahi yukata ātaahua, a, ka haere i te taha o tētahi taitama e māharahara ana ahau. Koirā tāku i whakaarohia. "E hiahia ana ahau kia noho koe ki tēnei tangata i tēnei rā, e mōhio ana koe ki taku kōrero?" ka hari te moni a Mom ki roto i tana pāhi i muri i te whiwhinga moni mai i te koroua. "E haere ana ahau ki tētahi hākari me ōku hoa i tēnei rā," tana whakautu, a, ka kata a ia, ka haere atu i waho o te rūma, "Kaore e taea e koe te kōrero kāo." Ka whakatata mai te koroua ki a au i riri ki te take, a, ka tauawhi i tōku pakihiwi, ka mea, "Ki te whai wahine koe, me haere tāua ki te hākari ki a au." Kaore e taea e au te mawhiti i te kanga a taku whaea. Ko te pūrākau o tētahi kōtiro hauora, aroha hoki i whakamahia e te pakeke.
