TE TOA TAKITINI

TE MANAAKI O TE TANGATA.

NA MOIHI TE MATOROHANGA.

HE kupu tohutohu enei na Te Matorohanga ki a Te Whata-

horo i te wa e tuhituhi ana tera i nga korero o te Kauwae-

runga. o te Kauwae-raro o nga Whare wananga o te Tai-

rawhiti, i whakatepea e Te Matorohanga ki a ia. He korero e

tika ana kia whakamaharatia i roto i enei ra. Koia enei aua

korero: —

Kua mohio au ma konei e manaaki nga korero nei, ma te

pakeha nei. E aia ana, e tai, kia kaha, ma kona koe e mohiotia

mai ai e te tangata, ma kona koe ka naumaitia ai e te tangata.

E ta! taku kupu ki a koe, kia manaaki i te tangata rahi, i te

tangata iti. Te ihu takiri o te rangatira, whakautua: he pehi

mana hoki tana, ka ea, ka mutu, kua ai. Te kanga na te ware

kaua hei utua, koi utua e koe ka mahue koe. Na te huruhuru i

rawe ai te manu: ki te kore he huruhuru, kaore e rawe: waihoki

ma te tangata hei maru mou, ka tu koe, ka manahau hoki te

kupu ki te aroaro o nga hapu. E puta te ope ware ki to kainga,

hoatu to kai rauhi mana, ma kona koe ka rangona e nga no-

hoanga tangata e haere ai ia. Haunga te rangatira, ko tona

mana rangatira mana e hoatu he kai mana, nona hoki ena

taonga. E kore ia e waiho hei korero mana te kai, te manaaki a

te tangata. E kite koe i te nohoanga i nga ware haere hei hoa

kaitahi mo ratau. Kaua hei whakaititia te tangata i runga i te

tuunga kai, engari whakanuia ia e koe. Ko te taonga tenei

o o tipuna o te Kakaho, o te Whatahoro, o to papa o Tutepaki-

hirangi i mihia ai e te tangata. Ka raruraru a Mahukea ki a

Roimata i a matau i te Kopi, ka ara te taua kia patua a Roimata.

Ka ki to papa: " E ta ma! kaati: waiho taku taina hei karopatu

moku, hei homai wahie moku. He aha te wai, he maringi tana

hanga, ka takoto tonu te ipu te tahaa. Ka pa he ipu pakaru, he

tahaa pakaru, engari tena. " Ka ora a Raniera Roimata i konei

i to papa: mei kore, kua mate noa atu.

He kupu tohutohu pai enei hei manaaki ma tenei whakati-

puranga i roto i te wa o te pakeha nei.
