HE TARUTARU TIPUA.
KEI Amerika-ki-te-Tonga tetahi rakau, e kiia ana ko te rakau kau, i kiia ai ko te rakau kau no te mea kite tapahia ka heke te wai ma rite tonu kite wai-u. Kite heke te wai o tenei rakau ka paepaetia e te tangata hei inu mana. E kiia ana ano tetahi rakau ko te rakau taro, ko or a hua i rite kite taro ara kite paraca. He tino kai tenei na nga mangumangu. Kua rongo pea tatou katoa he tino kai na te Wiwi te pepeketuaara te poraka ; he kai na te Hainamana te ngata pupu mete kohanga manu. Kei pohehe te tangata he kohanga parou, pihipihi ranei, ko wai oti te tangata e kaha kite kai waero hoiho, huruhuru hipi, otaota maroke, maramara kakahu engari he kohanga na tetahi manu moana, he mea hanga kite rimu tana kohanga. Kei te nootitanga o Panama tetahi putiputi e tupu ana he putiputi tino ataahua ko tona ingoa ko te wairua tapu ( Flor del Espintu Santo), tipu ai i roto i te rakau popopo, ko ona puawai he ma, kei roto o te puawai he mea ma rite tonu kite kukupa, he tohu no te whakaiti no te tapu, na konei i huaina ai e te Paniora ko te wairua tapu. I kitea e tetahi pakeha ki Amerika-ki-te-Tonga tetahi putiputi inu wai (the drinking orchid). Tupu ai kite taha o te wai, ko tetahi o nga tata toro ai kite wai, i mahara ia he pakiaka, no tana whakapanga atu i tona ringa ka held te pakiaka ra, ka pokai ki waenganui ote putiputi. No tana tirohanga ka kitea e ia he puare te pito. No muri mai ka tiakina tonutia e ia, nawai ra ka kitea e ia ka toro ano te tata kite wai, na mohiotia ana e ia he waha inu wai tera no taua putiputi. No roto tenei korero i tetahi nupepa Karaitiana ko te ingoa ko Our Boys Magazine.
