Ko tāna mahi he hoko ika mai i ngā tāngata hao ika. I ahau e tamariki ana, i ngā wā hao ika matamata, ko tōku tupuna koroua tētehi o ngā kaihoko i runga i te awa. Ko ngā kai i hokona mai i Pukekohe rā anō. Kia tae atu ki Tauranganui, ka utaina ngā kai ki tōna poti ka hari atu ki ngā whānau.

I ngētehi wā, ka haere au hei hoa mō tōku tupuna. Koia rā te poutokomanawa o te whānau. Ā, i ētahi wā, ka tono atu ngā whānau e noho ana i ngā whare hao ika, i te taha o te awa kia hokona mai wā rātou kai i te toa.

He maha ngā huarākau, ngā huawhenua, ngā inu wai reka me ngā tiakarete i runga i tōna poti. Ka rongo ana mātou i te haruru o te poti o tōku tupuna, kua pekepeke haere au pēnei i te makimaki, nā te mea, he rite tōna poti ki tētehi toa e mānu ana i runga i te awa.

Te mutunga mai o te reka! Kore, kore rawa ia i aro mai. Engari, waimarie mātou, kei a koro ngā huarākau, ngā tiakarete mā mātou, ngā tamariki. I ngā wā ka haere mai ia ki te hoko i ngā ika o ōku mātua, ka inoi atu mātou ki a Māmā kia hokona mai he inu wai reka.

Ka mutu tana mahi, kua kī katoa tōna poti i te ika matamata me te pōrohe. Koia rā te poutokomanawa o te whānau. Koinei tōku tupuna. He kaihoko ika ia i te awa.
