Tokorua enei tangata, he hawhe-kaihe, he Pakeha: ko Hori te ingoa ote hawhe-kaihe, no Mgapuhi ia, ko Areka te Pakeha. I tuku waea mai raua i W aitara ki a Meiha Tiakihana, o Rangiaohia, kia
homai he moni tekau pauna. I tuhia iho e raua ko Manga te ingoa o roto. Tukua aim e Meiha 10 pauna. Pau ake i a raua e 5 pauna> hoatu ana ki a Manga e 5 pauna. Kii atu ana a Manga* he hee tenei mahi> ne kohuru i au. Muri iho ka tuku waea ano e aua tangata kia tukua mai ano 10 pauna e taua Meiha; ka maka ano te ingoa o Manga ki runga. Ka tukuaj mai ano aua moni; na haria mai e Hori taua moni Id te aroaro o Manga. Ka kii atu a Manga* "No hea enei moni ?*' Ka kii mai, "Na te Meiha i tuku mai mau i runga ite waea." No te taenga mai o Manga ki Puniu kapataietauaPakeha e Meiha; ka kii atu a Manga, "Na raua ano ta raua nei tikanga ehara i au." Katahi ka kii a Manga, ma raua nei e utu. Katahi ka haere atu a Areka kite kawe atu i nga moni hei utu mo aua moni, 15 pauna. Kii mai ana a Meiha, me kawe ki a Manga. Ka tae mai ki a Manga, ka whakahokia ki a Meiha aua moni, 15 pauna, mete reta a Manga ki a Meiha. Ka nui toku pouri ki tenei mahi ate tangata, no te mea ko Manga ko ahau. Na TtjpoTAfit.

Ko ia te tangata i kiia ete Hihana i roto i te "Whare i mua ai "he kai*whakamaori naEewi.'*]
