Aue! Ko te aha te rā nei? Ko te tekau mā ono o Āperira! He aha au e tuhi nei tēnei whārangi inaianei? Nā te mea kei te tino pukumahi ahau i ngā wā katoa i tēnei tau.
He tauira ahau nē! ....o te Wananga Takiura, nā reira, kāore āku taima ki te noho!
Heoi anō kei te whakatā mātou mō e rua ngā wiki, he aha ai? Ngā rā hararei!
Ka tea e au te noho, te tuhi, te whakaaro, te whakaharatau ngā kupu me ngā māori hoki!
