Ehara i te mea ka taea e te tangata pakeke anake te tinga mai i te ahua penei, engari ka taea ano e te koroua te hanga i taua tirohanga. Ko ia te tino waimarie i mau ia i te kai-whanau tane, no te mea he tino reka te kotiro me tana putea me tana kaihe e whakapohehe ana i tana kohao whaiti, ka ruku ano ahau me te koa.
Karekau he raruraru o te pipi ki te tango i roto i tona waha me te ngote, ka tinihanga ki tana tane ma te mohio. Ki te hiahia ia ki te horomia, ka horomia e ia, ki te hiahia ia ki te whakaatu i ana parapara ki nga kaitaraiwa e haere atu ana, ka mahia ano e ia. He rite te mahi a te kakaho, kua rite ki te mahi i tetahi ota a tana hoa aroha, rangatira ranei.
He poto rawa ia! A ehara i te mea he potiki, he kotiro noa te ahua poto. Ka titiro koe ki te kotiro pakira me te kotiro kakaho, he ahua whakamataku ki a ia i te tuatahi. Auaa râ, ua hamani maitai te tane pakira ia ’na ma te here, e ua oaoa mau te tamahine i te ohipa e tupu ra.
