Ko tā te whare, ko tā te rohe rānei, he whakaohooho ake i ngā mea kua moe roa ki roto i a koe. Ka titiro atu koe ki tētahi mea, ki tētahi whenua, ki tētahi awa, ki tētahi kāinga, ki tētahi tangata ka hokia mai anō aua whakaaro me ngā āhuatanga i kite ai koe i te wā i a koe e tamariki ana. Ka tīkina atu e koe i roto i te hinengaro, i roto i ōu mahara, ka whakaohoohotia ake e koe. Koirā te wā kua ihi, kua wehi mai ki roto i a koe. Kai roto i tēneki pukapuka e kitea ai te wairua o te kupu, a tēnā kaiwhakairo i te kupu, whakaniko i te kupu ātaahua o roto mai i te rohe o Matāatua.
