Ko te mea kaore au i te mohio, ko wai te tane e moe ana i runga i te moenga i tona taha i te wa e patupatu ana a papa i tana tamahine? Tona tungane? Te tane, pea? Kare noa ia i hapai i tetahi maihao i te wa katoa. Aore ra i titiro noa ia, ka oho marie?
He aha te ahua whakamatautau o te nono ahua-tuwhera o te kotiro! Ko te tino hiahia ia he tane kaha ake, teina ake! Ki taku whakaaro kei a ia ano tetahi, ko wai atu i tino pai te whakawhanake i tana nono, ehara ko tana koroua? Kei te hiahia ia ki te mahi pupuhi, i te iti rawa ranei he mahi o mua!
Kaati, karekau he whanaunga o te hawhe-teina me te hawhe-tuahine, no reira kaore e taea te kiia he mea kino, he moepuku ranei. Ehara i te mea miharo ko te tane me te kotiro pakeke, karekau he hoa moepuku i ia ra, tata tonu ki te noho tata tetahi ki tetahi, ka aro ohorere atu ki a raatau ano. Ki te whakaaro he pai ki te kotiro (ko te tangata kare he patai), ki taku whakaaro ka mahi tonu ratou i tenei momo mahi i ia wa.
Ko nga ataata e pa ana
