E miharo ana nga iwi Maori, ki tenei mahi o a ratou. hoa matau, te tuhituliinga o nga manu, o nga mea ngokingoki, o nga rakau wao, o nga tarutaru koraha, o nga maunga hoki, me nga awa o te wlienua e nohoia nei. He hamuhamu tenei kite whakaaro o nga hoa Maori ; otiia, tenei ake, kia tino matau ratou, ka rere.ke Dga whakoaro. E kite ano ratou

Na ko te korero mo te Kiwi he mea tuhituhi, e te Minita a Te Teira o Whanganui, e mea ana » " Kei roto riro i te wao nui o Tane, a, ma te awha nui ka puta ki waho ko reira ana ngaro ai ite wai, a, ka puta ki nga mania haere ai. Ka rangona i konei tana tangi whakaarolia, a, ka aruarumia, mau ake. He kuri te kai aru ; he mea ano ka turamatia, ka mau. He ngutu roroa ona, ko nga puta ihu kei te koinga o te ngutu ; i tu-a-pakura nga liuruhuru, ko te tu i pera me to to Emu. E aruarumia ana tenei manu ete kuri, e te ngeru, a, e rokohanga noatanga ana e ratou."
