Rangiaowhia, and haul it at Mamaku.” These words were sung out by the fairies, as an encouragement in their work, and from the joy of their hearts at their sport in fishing. As the fairies were dragging the net to the shore Kahukura managed to mix amongst them, and hauled away at the rope; he happened to be a very fair man, so that his skin was almost as white as that of these fairies, and from that cause he was not observed by them. As the net came close into the shore, the fairies began to cheer and shout, “Go out into the sea some of you, in front of the rocks, lest the nets should be entangled in Tawatawauia-Teweteweuia”, for that was the name of a rugged rock standing out from the sandy shore; the main body of the fairies kept hauling at the net, and Kahukura pulled away in the midst of them. When the first fish reached the shore, thrown up in the ripples driven before the net as they hauled it in, the fairies had not yet remarked Kahukura, for he was almost as fair as they were.

Te maunga atu ano a Kahukura wetekina ake ano, titoreatia ake ano te tui; ka tui ano a ka maha, ka hapainga ano e Kahukura; ka warea ano ki te tui, na wai a ka awatea, ka kitea te kanohi o te tangata. Ka kite i a Kahukura, ka tahi ano ka whati, ka mahue nga ika, ka mahue te kupenga, ka mahue nga waka—ko nga waka he korari. He oi ano, ka whati tera te Tahurangi—ko te rua tenei o
