HE RAPURAPUNGA.
Ite takanga ote hau kite Auru Matonga "Wero tonu kite kiri," ka whaka-u to matou poti kite kokoru o Tairuru. Ka taritaria a matou mea ki uta, ka whakarewaina te Poti, kua mea hoki aku hoa kia tti-iti-iho te Jbau ka ,h,oe matou ki roto. Ka ara taku teneti, otioti noa te whari.ki, ka poto aku mea ki roto, ka noho au kite titiro pukapuka, ko aku hoa maori i haere ki te kai pajpa. He rpa taku tirohanga i taku pukapuka, (ka rekajna hoki nga kupu o roto) hapainga rawatia ake aku kanohi kua noho ke kite tatau o taku teneti etahi tangata maori tokotoru tahi—rangatira kau. He moku tuku pu tetahi, he upo\o tete. Ko te ngu, mete kauwae o tetahi i taia. Ko tetahi he mata ma—he punehunehu. Ka mibi atu ahau ki a ratou, a ka ringaringa ahau ki a ratou katoa. Ka miharo ratou ki te papai o aku pouaka, me aku kakahu ka mea tetahi kite tetahi "Tenei ra to hanga e te pakeha! E koe anake ano au mea! E te tangata maori e ! kai noa iho ki roto ki te paru! a, ka whiwhi kite ngetangeta korekore he mea whakahara ki i a iaf Whakarongo ana ahau ki enei kupu, otira, titiro tonu aku kanohi ki taku pukapuka. Noho puku ana matou, a, roa noa, ka mea ake te punehunehu (ko Whakaaro te ingoa) " Heaha koutou nga pakeha ka rangatira ai V He maha nga poaka, nga riwai, me era atu mea maori, kei i a matou, he nui ano hoki ta matou whenua, otira, e penei ana to matou ahua mete pononga—horerawa he kotetetanga ake i roto i te oneone." Ka mea atu au, " E koro! He rerenga-ke-tanga ta koutou, he rerenga-ke-tanga ta matou. Otira, e rau ana hqa, he nui rawa ta matou matauranga ake i a koutou; no konei i poka ke ai to matou ahua. Kaua ia koe, ekoro, e Whakaaro, e matapouri—kua takiri mai te atarau o te ki runga ki a koutou, tangata maori—a, meake ra ka tiaho tonu te ra awatea—ko reira koutou tu tahi ai ki a matou; a ka penei ano ta koutou rangatiratanga me to te Pekeha; me he mea ka mahi tonu koutou i te paj,—ka aru tonu i nga Tikanga pono, nga tikanga whakakake." Ka mea mai a Whakaaro, "Ka papai au kupu! He tangata ngawar; koe 1 E kore te rau ote pakeha e penei mai; otira, he whakataurekareka tonu ta ratou mahi ki a matou. E kore taua e korero? E he ana ahau ki a koe—ko wai tou ingoa ?" Ka mea atu au, "Ko 'Aroha'toku ingoa; ko Atawhairangi te ingoa o toku kainga. Na, e pai ana ahau kia korero taua; otira, kua pipi ake te tai—kua tukutuku iho te hau, ka hoe matoii; engari, hei tera hokinga mai oku, ka korero taiia." Ringaringa ana au ki a ratou haere ana au ki to matou poti. _j CTera atu te roanga.)
