He takiwa riri pea tenei e takoto ake nei mo to tatou motu. Mahara noa me kati i ena riringa, i ena matenga, o mua kua hori nei; otira kai te neke haere mai ano te kapua pouri o te rangi ki runga ki tenei motu—te ika a Maui. Kai te timata ano e te Hau Hau tona mahi i etahi wahi o te motu nei, kai te patu tangata, kai te kohuru, kai <,e aha; otira ekore e riro i a ia te otinga—kai te noho mahara matou te taha Kuini, nga pakeha me nga maori. Kua matemate i a ia, i te Hau Hau, etahi pakeha rangatira i enei takiwa kua hori nei; otira he ahakoa tena ? heoti tou to te riri tona ahua. Koi mahara te Hau Hau he kahanga nona te matenga o te tekau tangata, te rua te kau atu ranei; he mea noa tena ki au—e mate ana e ranea mai ana. He penei mete kupu a Kawhiti, (toa o Hone Heki' i te ririno-a kite* pakeha i te Pewhairangi):— " He moumou tangata te kakari ki te pakeha. Ka hinga no te maori kaore e taea te whakauru; tena ko te pakeha rite tonu ia kite kumara, kotahi e tiria atu kite whenua tingahuru te putanga mai." Ke.te Hau Hau nei e mate ana te kau i tetahi riringa, rua te kau atu i tetahi riringa ; a kei hea ona tangata hei whakaranea?—te mutunga, ka ngaro noaiho ia ka ora tonu au te pakeha.
I etahi riringa oku ki a maua wkakapakeha ano te kau manu tangata e mate ana i te rangi kotahi—ahakoa tena, kaore ano au kia ngaro noa. Ko tenei e mea ana matou me ata whakaaro marire nga Hau Hau, a ka whakamutua tana mahi tutu. Me nga maori Kuini hoki kia manawanui; tenei ano te takiwa o te haeata o te rangi.
