Ko te "Kīngi o te Waka Taumaha" Kore e Taea te Whakataetae - He Tū pakari, he Kore e Taea te Whakataetae mō te Waka Utu!

E ngā tāne, whakarongo mai! Ki te mea kei te rapu koe i tētahi "mīhini mahi moni" pakari, uaua hoki, e kaha tonu ana ki te mahi, ā, ka taea e ia te tū atu ki te taumata tiketike, tirohia mai rā!

I whānau mai, i whakatupuria hoki hei ārai i ngā "kawenga nunui" e whakapouri ana i te hinengaro, ehara tēnei wakatō i te mea whakapaipai—he mea hanga ia inihi mai i te maitai motuhake kaha-teitei, me te anga pakari, taumaha hoki e rite ana ki te hūtu pukupuku kore e taea te hinga. Te kaha o te kawenga? Koinā te mea nui! Whakapūpūhia he utanga rau tana, ā, ka tū pakari, ka u, ka pakari, ka pumau, pērā i te kohatu nui.

I hangaia kia tino ngāwari te kawe waka, kua arotauhia e mātou te pūnaha whakatārewatanga me te whirihoranga raina toki waipēhi. Ahakoa i roto i ngā papa hangahanga kuiti, i ngā āhuatanga rori uaua rānei, ka tere te nekeneke, ka huri, ka hoki whakamuri hoki. Mā te hono atu ki te whakatārewatanga hau me ngā pēki kōpae i hangaia e Tiamana, ehara i te mea ka tere noa i runga i ngā mata o te rori, engari ka tukuna hoki he mana aukati pono, pakari hoki—ka eke ki te taumata teitei o te haumaru!

Ko te mea tino āta whakaaro nui? Mā tōna hoahoa papa papatahi tino iti ka whakaitihia te wā uta me te tango i te utanga ki te haurua, ka whakanekehia te pai o te mahi me te penapena mahi. Heoi anō, ka taea te hono me te whirihora kia rite ki te rahi o tō utanga—ahakoa kei te kawe koe i ngā utanga motuhake he roa rawa, he whānui rawa, he teitei rawa rānei, ka tino urutau i ia wā.

I roto i te poto, ko te hoko i tēnei wakatō he rite ki te manaaki i te "Atua o te Waka" ki te kāinga! Kaua e whakaroa - whakapā mai kia kōrero tāua. Tukua tēnei hoiho mahi ki te kawe i ō moemoeā mō te taonga, ā, ka whai rawa tātou!
