Kātahi rāua ka rapa he tēneti mō rāua, kia kore noa ai e utu rūma, ka kohi i ā rāua kōhua, parareka, he rātana hei mārama mō rāua, he moenga, he paraikete, nā kātahi ka tatari ki ngā waka taritari hipi ki Tūranga. Ka tae ki Tūranga, ka haere rāua ki te whakatū i tō rāua tēneti ki te one, pēnei anō i ngā ‘turihi’ nei, ā, ka haere rāua ki tā Wati. “E Kato, hoatu koe ki mua. āhua pai tō hanga, kāore i nui te hina o tō māhunga, pēnei i tōku.” Ka tae rāua ki te tari, ka pātai mai te karaka ki ō rāua ingoa, hiahia kākahu mahi anō rāua. Ka kī mai ia, “He mahi mā kōrua ināianei mehemea kōrua e hiahia ana ki te tīmata.” “E koiarā tō māua hiahia, ā, kia nui ngā ora ki a koe.” I te ahiahi, ka mutu tā rāua mahi, ka kite rāua i ngā penihana kaumātua ake i a rāua, ngā tamariki tāne, wāhine hoki, ā he nui ngā mea i mōhio ki a rāua. Ka pau te wiki, ka puta te tiaki a ngā kuia nei, ka katakata rāua, kātahi a Mere ka kī, “E Kato, kai roto i tēnei tangata i a Wati, te aroha pono o Te Karaiti. Kāore ana whiriwhiri i ana kaimahi, ā, e mōhio ana a ia ko ngā pouaru me ngā penihana ngā mea e tino āwhinatia ana i roto i ēnei marama. Nō reira, kia tau te manaakitanga a te Atua ki runga ki a koe, e Wati, te tino hoa pono o ngā pani!” So they looked for a tent to save accommodation charges, collected pots and pans, potatoes, a lantern, mattresses and blankets, then waited for a free ride on a sheep truck bound for Gisborne. When they reached Gisborne, they went to set up their tent on the beach just like campers, then they made their way to Wattie's. “Kato, you go first. You don't look very old, and your hair is not as white as mine.” When they reached the office, the clerk asked for their names and whether they required uniforms. He said, “You can start work straight away if you want to.” “Oh yes, that's what we would like to do, thank you very much.” At the end of the day, while clocking out, they met widows, pensioners older than themselves, young men and girls, many of whom knew them. At the end of the week, both kuias had broad smiles when they looked at their wages. Mere said, “Kato, this man must have the love of Jesus Christ in him because he does not pick and choose his workers. He must know, too, that most of the seasonal workers would be widows and pensioners who need help in these months. God bless you Mr Wattie, the true friend indeed of the needy!”
