Ko Rehurehu te kāinga o te whānau a Toperua. He wāhi kei te taha rāwhiti. He paenga toka kei te takoto rārangi mai i te moana. Huhua ana nga mātaitai o reira. E mate ana te koura i nga rua, te ika hoki i ngā tauranga.

Nā ngā tīpuna hoki i whakarite ngā wāhi kai mā tēnā hapū mā tēnā hapū. Kei te mōhio katoa rātau ki ngā tauranga tāmure, tauranga tarakihi, tauranga hāpuku me ērā atu ika o te moana. Te tino mahi a Toperua he hoe i tana waka ki te hī ika mā tana whānau. Kia whiwhi a ia i ngā ika o te tai ka hoki atu ki uta. Ahakoa he maha ngā haerenga ki te hī he ruarua noa ngā ika ka tae atu ki te whare. Ina tae atu ka waiho mā tana wahine kē e tuaki e tunu hoki hei kai.

Ko Toperua tonu te tuatahi ki te noho ki te kai. Ko ngā wāhi reka o te ika ka apo tuatahitia e ia. Mehemea he ika nui tata pau katoa i a ia anake. Ko ngā kongakonga noa iho ka whakārerea mā tana whānau. Hei ētahi wā, ko te tāwiriwiri anake ka toe mai mā ērā.

He pēnei tonu tana mahi ahakoa he pāua te kai, he kōura rānei. He apo tonu he hākere kai i tana whānau. Kia haere nei rātou ki tētahi hui he pērā tonu tana rarau kai hei horohoro māna.

I tētahi rangi ka whakapeke tana wahine ki roto i te waka o ana tungāne. He hiahia nōna ki te haere ki te hī ika hei whāngai i ā rāua tamariki. Ahakoa riri atu ana tungāne ki a ia kāore a ia i heke i te waka. Nāwai rā ka whakaae atu ngā tungāne nā te mea kei te tino tere te timu haere o te tai. Ko te wahine rā kei te takoto kurupae i raro i te waka kei kitea mai hoki e ērā waka, e tana tāne hoki e Toperua.

Ka tae atu ngā waka ki te tauranga ika ka tīmata rātou ki te here maunu ki ngā matau kātahi ka tukutuku atu i ngā aho ki te moana. Tau ana te aho a te wahine rā ki te moana, ngau ana te ika. Kei te tākiri te wahine rā, ko ngā aho a ngā tungāne kei te tawēwē noa iho. Nāwai nāwai kua ngahau te katoa i te mahi a te wahine rā. Kua tū kē ki runga ki te huhuti i nga ika ki te waka.

Ka pā hoki te rekareka ki ana tungāne me ētahi o ērā waka kua ngahau mai ki tana mahi hī. Ina te rahi me te nui o ngā ika i tākiritia ki te waka. Nā te pukahu o ngā ika o tō rātou waka ka whakatika ka hoki harikoa atu ki te kāinga.

Te taenga atu ki uta ka tāpaetia ki ngā whānau i te ākau e whanga atu ana ki tō rātou hokinga. Ko te wahine rā ka hoki ki tana kāinga ki te tao ika mā tana whānau.

Ko Toperua kei te moana tonu. Ko tana aho kei te tautau noa iho i te tai. Korekore nei he ika i mau mai i a ia. Kātahi ka hoe tahanga atu ia ki te kāinga me te whakamā o tana ngākau ki te mahi toa o tana wahine ki te hī ika.

Ka hoe nei a ia, ā, tae pō atu ana ki uta ki te kāinga. Nō tana urunga atu ki te whare e whanga mai ana tana wahine ki a ia me te kai hoki e hora ana. Ko te ika nui kua maoa, kua takoto mai hei kai māna.

Kātahi ka heke te roimata ki ana whatu ka whakawhētai atu ki tana wahine, ka oati mō tana mahi hākere, mahi mau kino i tana hoa rangatira me tā rāua whānau. I riro rawa mā te whakamā i puta ai te māramatanga ki a Toperua.

Mai i tērā wā e noho māhorahora ana tā rātou noho tahi i tō rātou kāinga.
