Kua roa te whaea nohinohi e titiro ana ki te tiihi a tana tama, a ka whai hua ia. I te mea karekau he tangata ke atu i roto i te whare ka ngawari tana tinihanga i a ia ki te moepuku. A, i taku kitenga, kare te wahine hiakai nei i aro ki te tuku i a ia ki te kite i ana mahi aahua. Ko ia anake karekau ia i whakaaro ka tata tere atu ia ki tana kaihe. Engari he utu mo tona hiahia.
I karanga ahau ki tetahi kaipara paipa ki te horoi i nga paipa, a he pai tana mahi! He raruraru tonu mo te wai, engari i tino harikoa te kotiro - kua whiwhi ia i tana i karanga ai. I titiro ia ki a ia mai i nga meneti tuatahi ano he wahine pono, kua roa nei kaore i moe. Ka hoatu e ia he pupuhi ki a ia me te mea e hiahia ana ia ki te horomia katoatia - ma te apo. Waimarie mo te mahi a te tane, he aha taku korero?
Te kiriata nui. Moopuna hiakai me te ahua pai. A he pai te mahi a te koroua, he pai tana mahi. A kaore he kino i roto i tenei ataata. He pai te takirua me te ora, te taangata maori. Ka hae ahau ki te koroua.
