Ko te ahua nei he pai te kotiro ki te eke ki runga i te tiihi nui o tana hoa aroha, ka kite i tana haere, katahi ano ka nui ake te whaanui i a ia, ehara ko ia i runga, ahakoa he aha te rereketanga, na te mea he rereke nga waahi. kaua e whakarereke i te moni, ina koa i roto i tetahi take ngawari. Maata tonu to ratou whanoke i roto i te kororia, a ka riro i a raua he tino koa, ki taku whakaaro, kaore i tawhiti te tukurua.
E te hoê tuahine nehenehe roa te rouru pouri, e te taoto ra oia i roto i te hoê tiaraa hau. Kare i roa tana korero ki tona tungane, te ahua nei he tangata kaingākau ia ki nga mahi moepuku. He kino te toro atu ki taua tuakana, he pai ki te piko mo tetahi mea, katahi ka mau tonu tana piston ki muri. He ataahua tona tuahine, he tangata whai mana, he waimarie tana tuakana ki te whai tuahine pera. A he watea, kei reira tonu ia mo ia.
He ataahua te wahine, he parakore! Ka taea e tenei te whakahihiri i te tangata ki nga mahi moepuku ahakoa he tino ngenge ia i te mahi! Engari kaore au e kii ki te haere ki nga haerenga pakihi me tetahi hoa pukumahi, kaore e taea e ia te mahi me te kore moe mo te ra! He pai mena he pai ia ki te wiri, a ki te kore?
