He Kotiro Maia.
Tera tetahi tangata ratou ko tana whanau e noho ana i Kororato (Colorado), i Amerika. Ko to ratou whare e tu ana i te koraha e pamamao ana kite taone. I tetalii ra ka haere te tangata ra kite taone raua ko tana tamaiti, a mahue iho kite kainga ko tana waliine me tana kotiro tekau ma warn nga tau, he nui hold te mamahi o taua kotiro kite liaere hei lioa mo tona matua irunga i nga lioiho kite rapu i nga kau e marara ana kite koraha. I te ahiahi kua ahua pouri, ka haere atu te kotiro ra kite whare kaanga, oti, hei, kite whangai i tetahi kuao kau. A ka rongo ia i etahi reo e korerorero ana, e penei ana. " Waiho ai nga moni a taua tangata ki roto i te pouaka engari kua hoatu e ia te ki ki tana waliine." Ka mea atu tetahi,A me pewhea ra e taea ai e taua." Ka mea itetahi, "Me patu ra e taua
te wahine raua ko te kotiro." Kongo kau te kotiro ra, ka wehi ia kua rnohio hoki lie tangata kohuru e haere mai ana kite patu i a raua, katahi ka oma te kotiro ra kite wliare ka tangokia mai e rua nga pu-pitara kua oti noatu te puru e tona matua, ka kuliua e ia ki roto i ana puweru, ka tae kite whare ite whaea, nolio mai ai. Ka huaki nga tangata tokorua ra i te kuaha tu ana i te ruma i nga wahine ra, rere ana te wehi o nga tangata ra, katahi ka mea mai tetahi 0 nga nanakia ra, kia terete homai o etahi kai ma raua. Heoi horo tonu te kotiro ra ki te wliakatakoto i nga kai ki runga i te teepu, e kai ana nga nanakia ra, kahore ano i mutu noa ka noho te kotiro ra ki tetahi taha o te teepu, ko te whaea kei tetahi o nga koko o te ruma e tangi ana ite wehi. Titiro ana te kotiro ra kua tata nga tangata rate peke mai kite kohuru i a raua, katahi ano te kotiro ra ka tango i ona pitara,kotahi ki tetahi ringa kotahi ki tetahi, ka hoatu tonu ki nga kanohi o nga tangata ra mete karanga atu ano, "Kaua korua e oioi mehemea kite oioi korua ko to korua matenga ano tenei." Kahore i roa ka rongo 1 te tatangi wiira kaata i waho o te whare, e hara tu ana iroto i te whare ko te matua mete tamaiti tane, ka kite i te kotiro ra e mau ana i ona pitara mete noho ano nga nanakia ra, ehara ka mau nga tangata ra ka herelierea nga ringaringa, no te ata ka kawea kite taone kite hongihongi i nga riro o te wharehereliere. A i naianei kua marena taua kotiro ki- tetahi tangata rangatira-nui, a ko taua wahine kua riro ia hei whakahaere mo tetahi runanga wahine o nga mahi rangatira o tera motu.
