Ko Tangaroa Ara Rau

Black and white sketched artwork.

Kī ngā kōrero, ko te kāinga tuatahi o ngā tuna, ko Punakauariki, i ngā takiwā whetū i te rangi.

I reira ka pā mai te wā maroke, ā, ka rere mai nei ngā tuna ki te uma o Papatuanuku noho ai. I maroketia ai tō rātau kāinga, nā te mea he tata atu ki te rā. E whā ngā momo tuna i heke mai ki te whenua nei. Ko Para (frost- fish, ko Ngairo (conger-eel) ko Tuere (blind eel) me Tuna (river-eel) He mokopuna katoa ēnei nā Te Ihorangi, te atua o te ua.
I a rātau e heke mai ana i te rangi, ka tūtaki te rōpū nei i a Tāwhaki e piki ana ki ngā rangi.

Ka pātai atu a Tāwhaki, "he aha i whakarērea ai e koutou te rangi?"
Ka whakahoki mai te rōpū, "Ē, kua maroketia nga awa."

Ka pātai a Para, "kei te pēhea a raro rā?"
"Haere tika, kei te pai."
I te taenga mai o te rōpū nei ki te whenua, ka wehe, nā te mea i kāinga ētahi o rātau e Para. I toe ai te tuna, nā te mea i rere ki te repo hunga ai. Ko Para, ko Ngairo me Tuare i rere ki te moana. I te mahue ana o Tuna i a rātau ka ki, "e noho koe ki roto i te haunga o te repo hei kai mā te tangata."
Ka whakahoki a Tuna, "Haere koutou ki te moana hei kai mā te pioke. Ā, ki tēnei rā e rite ana ēnei kōrero."

He pātai

  • He aha i tata atu ai te kāinga o ngā tuna ki te rā?
  • He aha te mahi a Tāwhaki i ngā rangi?
  • Kei tēhea wāhi o te moana te Para e noho ana?
  • He aha te tikanga o te taitara nei, "Ko Tangaroa Ara Rau?"
