PITOPITO KORERO.
Kua marena a Rore Notarana, te tama a Rore Ranapare, Kawana o Niu Tireni. Ko te ingoa o tana wahine ko Hiria, te tamahine na Ta Raniera Kupa.
Tata tonu te tupono he aitua kite Pirimia raua ko te Honore Makitanara. Tokorua raua kaore i aitua, engari i honea noa mai i roto ite mate. Ko te Pirimia i ahu atu ki Akarana i runga tereina, e haere ana ia ki nga takiwa o Hauraki. Kotahi haora ia e whakanga ana i Akarana i tona taenga mai ka haere ai. Ka whakaaro ia me haere ia kite titiro i nga mahi o te waapu o Akarana, ko te rangatira ano o nga waapu tona hoa haere. Ka tae raua ki tetahi o nga tima e ruke ana i ona taonga ki uta. Ko te tima nei he tima nui, ko raua kei te korero haere i runga i te waapu ite taha o taua tima. Kaore raua ite titiro ake ki runga i a raua. Tera nga taonga ote tima nei kei te heke iho i runga i te huti. Kaore raua i kitea mai e te kapene i te tuatahi kitea rawatia mai kua tata tonu te tae ki raro i nga mea ra e heke iho ana, kua kore e taea te pupuri. Karanga noa mai te kapene kaore i rangona. Na nga mea ra tonu raua i whakaoho, harakukungia tangatia te potae me te koti'o te Pirimia. E rua noa hoki inihi i toe atu kua hangai aua mea ki runga ki a ia, kua male ia. Tena koa i runga anake i tona potae, i tona koti na nga tohu o tona honeatanga.
Ko Makitanara kei mate ai ki tera motu. I haere ia kia kite i te mahi a nga tangata i te raina reriwe. nui o tera Motu, he minita hoki ia no nga rrtahi. Ko te wahi i tae nei ia kei Waiau. Ko te mahi i tona taenga atu he wawahi i te huapapa kohatu ki le paura. I te whakaaro o nga tangata kia kite te minita i tetahi wahanga nui i te kohatu, ka mahia kia nui ta ratou rua, kia nui hoki te paura. Ka haere ratou ki tawhiti, engari ki tetahi wahi pai matakitaki mai ai. No te pakutanga kaore ratou i kite pai, i te mea ka kite atu ratou i te mahi a te kohatu e rere ana mai kite wahi e tu atu ra ratou, he nunui etahi, ko etahi he ririki. Ka omaoma ratou kite wahi pai. E kiia ana he hanga whakamiharo to ratou honeatanga, e rere ana hoki te kohatu i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o ratou i a ratou e oraa ra. Ko Makitanara i honea noa i tetahi kohatu
nui, ko tona waewae ravva me tona potae i pa, engari he mea ririki hoki era. Kei te mahi tonu te tahae i Akarana, kaore ano he wiki i hapa noa te haere o nga rongo he tahae kei Akarana. Ko tetahi tahae i tae kite ruma o tetahi hotera e nohoia ana. Ka riri raua i te po, honea atu ana ia. I muri mai ka man tetahi i te rangatira o te Hotera i roto i tona ruma, i raro i tona moenga. Ka riri raua, a mate iho taua tahae i te rangatira. Ko te mea tera i mau, a kei te herehere e noho ana.
