“Ka whakanohoia ngā Atua ki taua ahi.”

Anā te ahi pūkākā kei roto i ahau. E takariri haere ana i ngā āhuatanga o te wā kua whakamāorihia. Ki te here te kotahi, ka here te katoa, koinā te hā o taku ahi. Ko taku ahi he ahi hohoro nō ngā kāwai whakapapa, e tatari ai kia tahuna te mura o te nekehanga mana motuhake.


Te māpura o te ahi.

He kaunoti ngā taitama i taku kura i whakaparahakotia te haka, “ban the haka, fuck the haka”.


He kaunoti te hūare i tuwhaina ki ngā whakaahua whakataukī nā mātou i whakairi ki ngā kāpata, nā ngā pae pāpāho pāpori ngā kaituwha i tautoko. I pōhēhē ahau koirā te whakaaro noa.


He kaunoti te reo Māori kore o aku kaiako tae noa atu ki taku tau whakamutunga.


I kite i a ia, kei raro e pūtu ana, Tamara, mauria mai i a mātou ki te whenua.


He kaunoti ngā kupu ā-tuhi, ā-waha. E kauhau ana ki ngā marea e aro atu ana. Mate ana i te kimikimi haere mō ngā tira whakaae, ngā tira tairite.


Nāku te pōhēhē, ehara ngā maharatanga kaingākau ngā kaunoti whakamura ahi anake, engari mā te whakarauora i ngā hononga, i ngā mātauranga, i tā tātou Māoritanga, ka toitū te ahi.
