Kei roto ngā pounamu miraka i te pouaka mēra.
E rua ngā pounamu miraka.
Kei te karanga atu a Lana, "Kia tūpato, kei makere ngā pounamu miraka!"

He tamaiti tino tūpato a Rueben.
Kei te whakatū ia i ngā pounamu ki roto i te whiriti.
Kua kōrero atu a Kātarina, "Ka pai, Rueben! Haere mai ināianei ki te kai."

Kua mutu kē te kai a Lana rāua ko Rueben.
Ēngari kei te kai tonu a Moana mā.

He tungāne a Wiremu nō Kātarina.

Kei te haere a Lana ki te kura.

Kia tūpato i te rori."
He rangi makariri tēnei, ēngari kei te mahana a Lana i roto i tōna koti.

He tino moata a Lana.
Kāore anō ōna hoa kia tae mai ki te kura.
Kei te tatari a Lana ki ona hoa.
Kei te whiti te rā, kua mahana hoki.
Kei te titiro a Lana ki te tamaiti Pākehā e haere atu ana i te Pātītī.
"Ko wai rā ia?"
He kura nui te kura o Lana.
He tokomaha ngā tamariki.
Kāore anō ia kia mōhio ki ngā tamariki katoa.

He pai ki a Lana ngā mahi o te kura.
Kei te whakarongo ia ki te kura māhita.
"Kia tere, tamariki mā. Whakareri. Me tuhi kōrero koutou ināianei."
"He aha te kōrero?"
"He kōrero mō tō mahi i te Paraire."
Ka pai ki a Lana; i haere hoki ia ki Ngāti Pōneke i te Paraire.

I Ngāti Pōneke he mahi haka-ā-ringa tana mahi.
He tino pai tō rātou tima haka.
He tamariki katoa rātou.
Kei te parakitihi rātou mō te Hui Tōpū.
Kei te waiata rātou, "Haere mai rā, e te iwi e!"

Kua mutu tā rātou parakatihi ināianei.
Kua haere rātou ki te mātakitaki i ngā pakeke.
Kei te parakatihi tītītōrea ngā pakeke.
He tino pai a Kātarina ki te makamaka tītītōrea.
He tino pai hoki rātou katoa.

Kua mutu te parakitihi, ā, kua haere a Moana rāua ko Kātarina ki ngā toa.
Ko Wiremu kei te tiaki i ana irāmutu.
Kua mutu te hoko kai, ā, kua titiro a Kātarina ki roto i tana pāhi.
"E hia ngā moni kei te toe?" Ko Moana tēnei.
"He whā taara. Ka pai. Kei te pīrangi pōtae au mō te mārena o Wiremu rāua ko Hine."
"Ka nui tēnā moni?"
"Āe, ka nui."

Kei roto rāua i tētahi toa nui.
Kei runga rāua i te ēkareta.
Kāore a Moana e tino pīrangi ki te haere.
He whakamā ia ki te hoko taputapu wahine.
Kei te kowhete atu a Kātarina, "Kaua e pōrangi!"

Kua ngaro te whakamā o Moana ināianei.
Kei te pātai a Kātarina, "Pēhea tēnei?"
"Āhua pai tonu."
"Me tēnei?"
"Ka weriweri!"
"Me tēnei?"
"Ei, mō te kuia tēnā ka tika."
Kei te rekareka rāua.

Ko Vernon te pōtiki o te whānau.
I ētahi wā ka haramai tōna tipuna ki te tiaki i a ia, ki te āwhina i te whānau.
Ka nui te aroha o tōna tipuna mōna.
He tino hoa rāua.
Kei te haere a Moana mā ki tētahi hui.
Kei te noho a Vernon rāua ko tōna tipuna ki te kāinga.
Kāore a Vernon i te māharahara.
Kua awhiawhi atu a Moana.
"Kia pai koe, e tama! Māku e mau mai he rare māu."
Kei te kata a Vernon.

Ēngari kua pīrangi tangi a Vernon ināianei.
Kua awhi atu tōna tipuna, kua kī atu, "E tama, haramai, e haere ana tāua ki te kato pūhā."
Kei te whakamau ia i te poraka o Vernon.

Ka pai te mahi kohi pūhā.
Ēngari mā te koroua e kohi ngā pūhā.
Ko Vernon kei roto pātiti, kei roto rākau, e hīanga ana.
Ka nui ngā pūhā. Kikī tonu ana te kete a Koro.

Kei te mahi kai a Koro.
He poaka te kai mō te pō.
Ka pai te pūhā hei kīnaki.
Kei te whakarongo a Vernon mō te motokā a tōna pāpā.
Kua tata rātou te hoki mai ki te kāinga.
