Hei te raumati, ka puta ngā pua o te
pōhutukawa, he kura. I te wā i tata mai a
Te Arawa ki uta, kite rawa mai ki te pōhutukawa o te tahatika e ura atu ana. Kātahi tētahi o ngā rangatira ka karanga ake, "E! kua nui ake te kura o tēnei kāinga i te kura o Hawaiki, ka panga ahau i āku kura ki te wai". Ehara, panga atu aua kura ki te wai. Ko te ingoa te tangata ko Tau-ninihi, nāna i panga atu a Tai-whakaea. Ū rawa mai rā ki uta, ehara kua pā atu ngā ringa ki aua pōhutukawa, ana, horo noa iho, kātahi rātou ka mahara he puāwai rākau ēnei mea. Muri tata iho, ka kitea aua kura a Tau-ninihi ki te one, nā Mahina i kite, koia tenei pepeha mō te mea kite, e, ka kitea te taonga makere, kāore e hoatu e au, tā te mea ko te paekura a Mahina.
