He Whakarāpopoto: Kai te reo ōna ake whakaaro e pupiitia ai ngā take pū Māori. He mea tuku iho tenei e ngā mātua tipuna ki ngā whakatupuranga o naianei. Ki te kaha te tangata ki te raparapa haere, ka kitea tonutia te hohonutanga o ngā take pū nei, hai arataki pai i a ia. Ko te kaupapa o te tuhituhi nei, he arotahi i te take pū o te āta. Kai konei ka kitea ētahi tau ira, hai whakamahitanga ki ngā wāhi maha, kai reira te hunga tangata. E whakapaetia kai konei ano ngā take pū hai mahinga mā te tangata i a ia e tipu ana.
