Na, kua kitea te tikanga o tenei mea kia kotahi te mahi tuturu mo ia tangata mo ia tangata, ka nui rawa te mahi e whakaotia ai, i ta te mea ka mahi ke te tangata ki tenei mahi, ki tera mahi. Na, mehemea ka tahuri takirua nga kamura whare kite hanga i te kaipuke, e kore e rite ta raua hanganga kia taki kotahi kamura kaipuke. Ka oti te kaipuke, e kore e penei te roa o te maunga o te kaipuke, e kore hoki e
rite te pai, Id te mea kua hanga e te kamura kaipuke takikotahi. He mea kua whakaritea hoki, kia oti ra ano te whakaako o te kai hanga kaipuke ka tuku atu ai hei kai hanga i tetahi wahi ote kaipuke. Ko te mea tenei e tupato ai te Pakeha, ka he te mahi o tetahi wahi ote kaipuke ko reira kino ai katoa. E whitu nga tau e whakaako ana te tangata ki taua mahi, katahi ka kiia he mohio; koia ano te take i nui atu ai te utu o te kamura kaipuke i to te kai ngaki whenua. Kia whitu pea nga tau e mahi ana te kamura kaipuke i tana tamarikitanga, hei whai mohio ki taua mahi anake, mete tohunga ra ia ki taua mahi, mete hira ake ia i tona utu, e kore ia e mohio kite hanga kapehu hei whakahaere i te kaipuke, e kore hoki ia e te hanga i te haika hei pupuru i te kaipuke kua oti iaia te hanga. E rima pea, e ono ranei, ki tetahi ki tetahi, o ana mahi nga tau e whakaako ana ia kite hanga kapehu, kite hanga haika ranei, katahi ia ka whai mohio. Na, tera e mahi tonu ia a tupu noa te hina o tona mahunga, e kore e taea te hanga e tetahi kapehu tika rawa, te haika tino kaha ranei, i nga kapehu, i nga haika hoki kua oti te hanga i mua atu i a ia. "Whakaaro koutou kite wati, e kore e taea te hanga taua mea e te tangata noa iho, ka kiia te wati ka tika tonu te takahanga o nga ringaringa mo te rangi kotahi, mo nga rangi e whitu-ranei, kei te hanganga ote wati te tikanga. Ka mea nga tangata tokorua kia tutaki i a raua tQkorua, he whenua ke nona, he maha hoki nga tau Khai tetahi i kite atu i tetahi, na ka whakarite raua i te taima hei tutakinga ma raua ka tika tonu, na te takanga o te wati. Mehemea ka noho te tangata i te tuawhenua, ma te wati ia e whakamohio kite paringa kite timunga hoki o tai ote moana nui, rite ano kite haere ote ra. Koia matou ka mea, ma te tangata mohio rawa e taea ai taua hanga te wati. He kore e mohio wawe te kai mahi whenua, te kai hanga kaipuke mete kai hanga haika ki tenei mahi: kia roa ano ia e whakaako ana katahi ka taea eia te hanga wati. Koia, ano tenei e whakapaingia ai, kia kotahi mahi tuturu mo ia tangata mo ia tangata, mana e tohe kia tino mohio ia ki tana mahi, otira me whakamohio hoki ia ki a era atu tangata mahi. Na, mehemea e mahi ana ia i te whakatupu witi ranei, taewa ranei, kia mohio ia ki te taumi i tana waka, kite haro muka, kite whakairo rakau, otira kia kotahi te tino mahi mana, tera e pai atu ai i a era tangata atu e mahi ke ana. A, e kitea ai e nga tangata katoa e noho mamao ana i te tua whenua ranei, e noho tata ana ranei i te takutai moana, i tetahi mahi e whiwhi rawa ia ratou i te utu, i te utu o tetahi mahi atu ranei, me tahuri ia ki tana mahi. E noho ana ia i te tuawhenua, e momona ana te oneone o taua kainga, ka kite i tera e tupu pai ai. te witi o taua kainga i era witi atu o nga pukepuke o te akau moana. Mehemea he awa he wahapu tika, kite moana hei kawenga atu mo ana taonga kite taone, ka hohoro ia te whai rawa he utu mo ana mea. Ka mohio pea to te tuawhenua tangata kite hoe waka, otira e kore pea ia e mohio kite whakatere kaipuke ite moana; tera ko te tangata noho takutai ka rite pea tana mohio kite whakatere kaipuke ki to te pakeha. Koia hoki ma nga tangata ote tuawhenua e whakatupu witi, waihoki ma nga tangata takutai e mahi kaipuke, poti hoki. Tenei ake pea he wa ka whakamatau ratou kite whakatere kaipuke nunui, me o ratou tamariki hoki ka mohio kite hanga kaipuke.
