Kei a mātou ngā whirihoranga katoa e hiahiatia ana e koe — ngā wakatō papatahi 40 putu te roa, ka taea te whakarite kia rite ki ō hiahia.

E rua ngā kaupapa matua o tā mātou moenga papatahi 40 putu te roa: he mea hanga kia roa, he mea hanga kia taea te kawe.

Tuatahi, me kōrero tātou mō te "tūāpapa matua" e aro nui ana te katoa: He mea hanga ngā kurupae matua ki te maitai kaha-teitei, me ngā tukanga whakarewa kounga teitei: te whakarewa pewa aunoa i raro i te wai me te whakamātautau kore-whakangaro. Mā tēnei ka whakarite kia maeneene, kia ōrite ngā whakarewa, kāore he hononga makariri, he hapa rānei. E mōhio ana ngā tohunga ahumahi ko te kounga o te whakarewa te mea e whakatau tika ana i te roa o te wā e mau ai tō wakatō. E tū pakari ana mātou ki tā mātou kupu whakaari: kāore ngā kurupae matua e pakaru i raro i te whakamahinga noa ——ehara tēnei i te kōrero hokohoko noa iho, engari he whakapono ki tā mātou mahi toi.

Muri iho, ko te "mata me ngā taipitopito": He mea hanga te papa ki tētahi pereti maitai kōwhai-kotahi, kāore i tuia ngātahitia, kia kore ai e pupuhi, e ngatata rānei ahakoa he taumaha te kawenga. He maha ngā pū here kei roto, he mea whakarewa kia rite ki tāu whakatakotoranga e pai ai kia ngāwari ai te uta. He mea whakapakari ngā kurupae taha, ngā pou kokonga me ētahi atu wāhanga matua kia kore ai e rerekē te āhua, ahakoa e kawe ana i ngā utanga nunui rawa.

Hei whakamutunga, me kōrero tātou mō te pono kua whakamātauhia: Kua roa tā mātou wheketere e aro ana ki ngā kaweake, me ngā wakatō e tukuna ana ki te Tonga-mā-rāwhiti o Āhia, ki Āwherika, me Āhia-waenganui. He uaua ake ngā āhuatanga o te rori me ngā whakaritenga kawenga i ēnei rohe i tā Haina——ā, ka taea e ā mātou wakatō te whakahaere i aua āhuatanga me te ngāwari. Ko te tikanga ka taea e koe te whakawhirinaki ki a rātou mō ngā huarahi ā-rohe me te rangimarie o te hinengaro. Ko te mea pai rawa atu, he kaihanga tika mātou, kāore he utu takawaenga. Whakatauritehia ā mātou whakaritenga me ngā utu, ā, ka kite tonu koe i te uara.

Whakapā mai inaianei ki te whiwhi i ngā whakaahua hou mai i ngā tuku kaweake me ngā ataata hanga wheketere. Kei te hiahia koe ki ngā whakarerekētanga? Ngā whirihoranga ritenga? Kōrero mai ki a mātou ō hiahia, ā, ka tino pai te whakahaere i ngā mea katoa. He whakatau nui te hoko i tētahi wakatō——e tika ana kia whiriwhiria e koe me te māia!
