Niho Made By Man No, Hone told them, the teeth sat naturally in the mouth; and they were really beautiful. They could not be told from real ones. Look at those two Pakehas, he said, and decide which has the niho made by man. The old ladies went up to James and Ernest and gazed intently as each of them smiled to show their teeth. When James suddenly poked his teeth out on his tongue at them the two kuia took to their heels and ran faster than
they had for many a long day. Nor did they come back to farewell us when we left. They couldn't stay far enough away from the man who wore the devil's teeth. We went on to Wairakei and the Huka Falls. Takuira amused himself by rocking the swing bridge as we crossed, but ours was the laugh when a puff of wind took his beautiful kiekie hat off his head and sent it sailing down and over the boiling surging white froth of the Huka.
