DASS-250: - Ko taku wahine whai uma nunui mārire i whakakāhoretia e tōku pāpā, a, ka kākano, ka pēhi. Meri Tachibana

E whakaae ana a Meri ki tana tāne, kaore e tuku i a ia kia noho wahine nā te mea kei te arokē a ia. I te hōhipera, i kitea ahau i te tātea angiangi, a, kaore i kore te hapu, engari he uaua ki te kore e pā mai he merekara. I tētahi rā, ka haere mai te pāpā o taku tāne ki Tokyo ki te noho i te pō. E tūmanako ana hoki taku hungawai ki ana mokopuna, a, kaore i taea e ia te kawe mai i a ia ki te kōrero mo ana māharahara. Ko te hungawai matua, nāna i ako noa mo te āhuatanga o tana tama, e whakarite ana i te mate mo Meri. Ka pātai mai te hungawai mehemea kai te tino pā ki a ia te wahine ki tana tama. He hungawai a ia, nāna i kī, ka whai mana ia hai matua, a, ka mahi i a Meri me te pūtiro ā-waha. Ka tīmata a Meri, i te wera nā te whakapae tukurua a tōna hungawai, ki te rapu i tōna hungawai, kaua ko tana tāne.
