Ka taea e au te tāpiri wai ki te tāke?
Ko te ārai huka te mea matua mō te whakamarara i te wera o te mīhini. Kei roto i ngā kai matua ko te wai, engari he rerekētanga nui ki te wai, he maha ngā tāpiringa kei roto, kia tutuki ai ngā whakaritenga o ngā āhuatanga mīhini rerekē. E whā ngā tae o te ārai huka noa, whero, kikorangi, kakariki me te kōwhai, kāore e whakaranua noatia te tae, nā te mea he rerekē ngā tae e tohu ana i ngā hanganga rerekē, he rerekē ngā hanganga o te ārai huka e whakaranua ana, ina uru te mīhini ki te āhua pāmahana teitei mahi, i muri i te whakaranu i te ārai huka ka huri te pumau pūtaiao, ka arahi pea ki te mahi whakamatao, ka heke te mahi ārai huka. Ka puta te waikura me te tioata o te pūnaha whakamatao, ā, ka puta he hau paitini i ētahi. Kāore e taea te tāpiri i te wai ārai huka. I te wā e whakakapi ana i te ārai huka, ko te wā wehe o te nuinga o ngā tauira he rua tau, he whā tekau mano kiromita rānei, ā, ko ētahi tauira he whā tau, tekau mano kiromita, neke atu rānei. Me pupuri tonu te wā wehe i tūtohutia e te kaihanga. Mena ka turuturu, ka ngaro rānei te ārai huka, ka taea te tāpiri wai ohorere, engari me whakakapi ki te ārai huka i roto i te wā. Mā te tāpiri wai ka ngoikore te tohatoha o te wera, ka koropupū te kohua, ka piki ake te tauine o te pūnaha whakamatao, ā, ka ngāwari te tio i te takurua, ka kino hoki te miihini.
