Ite Hatarei ka ki atu te Pakeha ’ki te Maori Ida haere raua kite patu poaka, ka whakaae atu te Maori. Katahi raua ka haere, ka whakawhiti i tetahi avva, ko Waikaretaheke te ingoa. Ko taua whakawhitinga he whakawhitinga no nga tipuna o taua tangata. Kei reira a Haumapuhia e noho ana. Ko te taniwha tenei o tenei moana o Waikaremoana. Kei reira te whakawhitinga ki rawahi o taua awa. Katahi raua ka haere kite ngahere. Ka mate ta raua, poaka ka wahia, ko tetahi taha i te Pakeha, ko tetahi taha i te Maori.
