TE KOTINGA WITI.
E kite ana koutou i te koroke e noho iho nei? Kia tupato ki a ia; he mea reka rawa ia ia te witi. Ekore pea e nui tana mea e kai ai, ka k te kopu; otiia, taratara tu ana nga niho kite ngaungau noa iho. Nui te mahi, nui te huhi, ka tae nga witi kite rua. Ka mea i konei te ka ngaki, ko te mutunga tenei. Kahore hold pea. Na kia pai ano te tu o te witi, kia tika ai te utu, a, e kore hoki e pai te tu ote witi kite mea, ka tukua te mauihi mete kiore ki roto kai ai. E matau ana ano nga hoa Maori ki tenei, kite nui atu hoki, otira, he whakamahara atu tenei, no te mea, kua tae nga apu ki waenga ki to tapahi i nga witi o te tau nei.
