Anei ētahi kōrero me ētahi whakaaro hei tīmatanga:
| Tēnā koe e te whaea, Kāore au i te tino mōhio ki ngā kōrero mō Te matamata. Nō reira, he aha te matamata? Ki tōku whakaaro, he momo ika tērā? |
| Tēnā koe e te kaituhi, E pīrangi ana au ki te mōhio nō whea ngā kōrero nei? Ā, kei whea te wāhi i runga i tētahi mahere whenua o Aotearoa? |
