Te Tikaokao raua ko te Pokiha.
Tera he Pokiha e whanaatu ana i roto i te mara o te tangata, he kimi-haere i etahi toru kai ma te ngutu. Ka warea kite whakakanakana i nga kanohi, kaore i kite i te rore e takoto ana; mohio rawa ake, he maunga no nga peke ki roto kite mahanga ra, ehara! lea mau, te taea te whakakorikori. Ka whaka-takataka-haere nga karn o te Pokiha ra, a, he oranga-ngakau nona, i te kitenga atu ai he Tikaokao, e tu ana mai i runga i te ta/umata. Katahi ra, ka karanga atn "E Kao, e Kao; taku huanga ki a an, e ! Tenei a aii kei te rore a wai ra? I rongo ake ahau i to tangihauga,
otaraho, otaraho; a, e whakataka ana aliau ki tua o te taiepa nei kia owha atu ki a koe, e! mau ana aku waewae i nga mimiro a wai ra hoki, te tutuki taku hiahia kia puta taku aumihi ki a koe. Ko tenei e Kao, whakaarohatia mai ahau, tokina atu he maripi kia tapatapahia eaau nga aho e takatakai nei i aku peke. Kite kore koe e pai ki tena, haere mai hoki ra, araia ki nga huruhuru o au parirau taku tuohutanga, kia ngaua ki aku niho nga aho o te rore, kia wawe ahau te puta." Titiro marire aua te Tikaokao, whakarongo marire ana ki nga kupu-kopaki o te kuri niho-koi ra, e whakahiakai mai ana kite manu ra. Ihupuku tonu te Tikaokao ra, horerawa i whakahokia he kupu kite Pokiha. Ka! ka kapakapa nga harirau o te Otaraho ra, te rerenga i rere ai, tau rawa atu kite whatitoka ote whare a a tona rangatira. Korero tonu atu te manu ra kite taroitanga o te Pokiha kite rore i meatia ra ki roto kite mara. Ka rongo te rangatira o te mara ra, i nga kupu a te Tikaokao ka mau ki te poro-rakau, tona nui, ka haere kite wahi i whakaaturia ra e tana manu whaka-ta-ra-ho. Hoko hanga atu te Pokiha, e whakatekateka kau ana kia puta i te mahanga, tangi ana te patu, kaore i takiroa takoto ana te Pokiha, mutu ake te kuihi te waha. Whakarite : Haere i runga i te whakaaro-mohio tau aroha ki te tangata.
