HE PATUNGA MANGO.
Ahakoa, mate te tangata patu kore i te mango o te moana, e taea ana ano te patu i taua ika nei e te tangata e mau ana i tetahi mea hei patu i a ia. Kua mohiotia te whakamatenga o etahi o aua mango e te
wahine i te mea e kaukau ana,, lie mea wero lei te maripi. He korero mo tetahi tamaiti i taka atu ki te moana i runga i ta raua kaupapa ko tona papa e whakaako ana hold te papa i tona tamaiti kia mohio ki tera tu mahi, ara kite hoe kite toko ranei ite kaupapa; ko te mahi hoki tera i paingia e ia hei mahi oranga mo tona tamaiti. Kihai i taro kua rere mai te mango nui, kua kapohia atu te tamaiti ra, kua ngaro ki raro kite moana. Heoti, ka tu tonu ake te papa ka unuhia tana maripi roa, ka hoatu e ia ki tona waha mau ai. Katahi ka ruku iho kite wai, ngaro atu ana. Kitea rawa ake kaore i taro kua ruku ano ki raro kite wai, ano mete mea e whawhai ana ki tona hoa riri, toa ra. Akuanei ka kitea kua whero katoa te moana i te toto, titiro pawera atu ana nga mea i uta; kihai nei hoki ratou i mohio atu kite mahi e mahia ngarotia mai ra i raro ote wai. Kei te kawe tonu te tangata ra kei te ruku tonu, kihai ano hold i ata oti noa te whakamate o te nanakia e patua mai ra e ia. Meake nui rawa te miharo ote tini etu mai ra i uta i te kitenga i te tinana o taua mango nei e tere ana i runga o te wai—engari kaore i roa kua totohu ano. Na, whero katoa ana te wai ite toto o taua nanakia nei. Kaore i taro kua puea ake hoki te tangata ra, ka kau ki uta ; kua ahua mate ia i te ngenge, kua ruhi noa iho. Engari kihai rawa ipa nga niho ote mango ra ki aia ; kite titiro atu ate tangata e kore e mohiotia i te whawhai ia raua ko te mango. Kaore ano te tangata i roa e tu ana i uta ka paea ete ngaru te mango raki uta; he ika nui whakaharahara, kua mate rawa taua ika nei. Katahi ka toia ki uta atu o te tai whati e nga tangata rnangumangu o tera whenua ; no te taenga o te tinana o te ika ra ki uta, ka huakina te puku; na, ka kitea te upoko me nga ringaringame nga waewae o te tamaiti i mate ra—ko te tinana kua kino kino noaiho i te ngaunga a te mango.
