RONGO MATE O NGATIPOROU.
I RUNGA i te ahua o nga korero i runga ake nei, na tetahi pakeha i tae kite takiwa o Ngatiporou, he whakaputanga no te pouri o tona ngakau mo te kino o te mahi a te tohunga maori. I tera tau ko Wereta te tohunga i arumia e te tangata, i tenei tau ko Rare pa tokorua enei' tangata he aumangeo katoa, he nanakia. Ite rorirori ote tangata hohoro tonu te whakapono ki a raua mahi tinihanga. Ka nui te matemate o te tangata o te takiwa o Ngatiporou ahakoa kei reira te tohunga. Haere ai te tangata kite tohunga, i runga i te noho teneti i te maku, i te unuunuhia o nga puulu e te kupu a te tohunga ka kaha te mate, katahi ka hoki mai kite kainga hemohemo ai. Tokorima o Waipiro tupapaku i te wiki kotahi, he tane he wahine, he tungaane he tuahine kua puta mai ano te rongo tokowaru o Waiapu tupapaku. O nga kainga katoa o
Ngatiporou ko Waipiro te kainga kaha atu ki te tautoko i nga main tohunga maori. Eai nga korcro mai he rewharev, ha r.oa te mate i hemo ai kotahi i taka i te hoiho. I neke atu pea i te hawhe o nga pakeha 0 Puranga nei i pangia e te rewharcwha, otira kore rawa tetahi kotahi i mate. Ehara tenei ite mate kino otira kite kore te tangata c tupato kite haere i waho katahi ka kino. Na konei te tangata i mate ai he haerenga ki te tohunga mehemea i noho noa 1 te kainga e kore e mate ahakoa kore rongoa. Ki ta matou whakaaro ma nga kaunihera marae e peehi nga mahi tohunga maori cngari te he he mataku no nga kaunihera he whakapono hoki no etahi o ratou ano ki enei mahi tino maminga. Kua tu ta matou pakanga ki nga tohunga, heoi inaianei me noho puku pea, tukua te tangata ma te mate e whakaako mehemea kite kore e whakorongo ki te kupu tohutohu penei me etahi tangata°e tuku nei i a ratou tamariki kia mamae i tetahi mea e hiahia nuitia ana e ratou, kia whai-mahara ai. — Etita o te Pipiwharauroa.
