He Kupu Whakataki
Ko te reo Māori te kākahu o te whakaaro, te huarahi i te ao tūroa.

He pakimaero whai upoko te pukapuka nei, a Whakawhiti 33 Tūhoronuku. Kotahi te kaupapa matua o ia pukapuka o te huinga pukapuka Whakawhiti. Ko ētahi, he kōrero paki, ko ētahi, he kōrero pono, ā, ko te katoa e hāngai ana ki te hunga rangatahi. I whakaputaina tēnei pukapuka kia pānuitia e te ākonga me tōna kotahi. E hāngai ana tēnei rauemi ki ngā ākonga kei ngā tau 9–10. E rere ngātahi ana hoki tēnei pakimaero ki Te Marautanga o Aotearoa me Ngā Whanaketanga Rumaki Māori.
