Ko Kae me Tutunui (wh. 22–23)

He whakarāpopototanga

I roto i tēnei kōrero, ka tono atu a Tinirau ki a Kae, he tohunga, ki te whakahaere i ngā karakia iriiri i a Tūhuruhuru. Ka oti ngā karakia, ka tapahia e Tinirau tētahi wāhanga kikokiko o tana mōkai tohorā, a Tutunui, hei koha ki a Kae. Nā te reka o te tohorā, ka matekai anō a ia ki te kiko o Tutunui. Ka inoi atu a Kae kia hoki atu ia mā runga i a Tutunui. I te mutunga, ka whakaae a Tinirau, ā, koinā hoki te wā whakamutunga i kitea ai e ia tana mōkai tohorā e ora ana.

Summary

In this story, Kae, a priest, is summoned by Tinirau to carry out the rituals and the naming ceremony of Tūhuruhuru. When the ceremony is complete, Tinirau gaves Kae a piece of flesh from his pet whale, Tutunui, as a token of appreciation. Kae enjoys the whale flesh and wants more. Kae implores Tinirau to allow him to return home on Tutunui. In the end Tinirau agrees to this, and this is the last time he sees his pet whale alive.
