He iti te wiri o te pētera penehīni
Ko ngā tauira tuatahi o te pētera whakatere waka he waea kumea, ā, i nāianei he pūoko Hall noa iho, nō reira kāore he motuka, he wāhanga hurihuri rānei i runga i te pētera whakatere, nō reira ko te wiri iti o te pētera whakatere he mea nui nā te wiri nui o te miihini, te haruru tinana rānei, ka puta te tuku ki te pētera whakatere i runga ake nei, ko ngā take pea mō te rahunga koia ēnei:
Ko te momo tuatahi, nā te mea kua roa te wā kāore anō kia whakakapia ngā wāhanga whakamahana o roto o te miihini, ka roa te wā ka puta he ahi tuarua, he ngoikore rānei te mahi, ā, ka kore e taea e te miihini te mahi pai, ka tukuna te wiri ki te pētera whakatere. Ko te otinga ko te whakakapi i te pēra mura kua pakaru, ko te whakakapi rānei i ngā pēra mura.
Tuarua, nā te mea kāore i te pai te whakakī wahie o te mīhini waka, nā te mea rānei i te wā roa e tū ana te waka i te tāone, kāore i tere te tere. Mā tēnei āhuatanga ka nui rawa te kohi waro o roto o te mīhini, ka mimitia te pūwero o te waka ki roto i te rango wahie e te whakatakotoranga waro. Kāore te mīhini i te āhua mahi pai rawa atu, ā, ka tukuna te wiri ki te pēne hau.
Tuatoru, ki te tawhito te whāriki o te mīhini, te mīhini tuku rānei, kāore e taea te tae atu ki te mahi ārai ru, ka tukuna te wiri o te mīhini ki te wira urungi i roto i te kokopiti mā roto i te tinana, ka rūrū te tuku o te pētera whakatere. Ko te otinga ko te whakakapi i te whāriki papa o te mīhini, o te pouaka tuku rānei kua pakaru.
Tuawhā, he paru rawa te pūwero o te mīhini, ā, kāore te hau i roto i te mīhini e uru taurite ki roto i te mura o te rango, ka hua ake te wiri o te mīhini, ka whakawhitia hoki tēnei wiri ki te wira urungi, ā, ka whakawhitia te wiri ki te pētera whakatere.
Tuarima, kāore i te pai te taurite hihiri o te potae, ka hua ake te haruru o te tinana i te wā e taraiwa ana, ka tukuna te haruru ki te tinana, ka hua ake te wiri o te pētera whakatere, i tēnei wā me haere tātou ki te tikanga tiaki, me mahi i te taurite hihiri o ngā wira-whā.
