Ina kōrero te iwi mō te ataahua o ngā putiputi, ko te tikanga ka aro nui rātou ki ngā mea e puāwai ana, e kanapa ana. Engari ina tūtaki koe ki tētahi putiputi rōhi maroke tūturu, ka kite ohorere koe he maha ngā āhua o te aroha. Ka hopukina e ia tētahi momo āhua rerekē i roto i te wā, ka taea ai e tātou te iriti i ngā momo aroha kē atu e huna ana i roto i te ataahua o te maroke.
Whakatakotoria tēnei putiputi ki te wāhi, ā, ka ara ake tonu te āhuarangi marino, aroha hoki. Mēnā ka whakatakotoria ki runga i te kāpata rakau totoka i te rūma noho, ka honoa ki tētahi kohua uku tawhito, ka hangaia he mura tawhito e ngā rau waina-whero, me te maeneene o te rakau me te ngawari o te uku, me te mea he peita hinu e arohaina ana e te wā; mēnā ka whakatakotoria ki runga i te tēpu whakakakahu i te rūma moe, ka whakaurua ki roto i tētahi ipu karāhe, ka tiaho mārie ngā rau tiakarete-māwhero i raro i te mārama, ā, i tōna taha, ka whakatakotoria he kohinga rotarota tawhito, ka whakakiia te hau ki te ngawari o te wā marino; mēnā ka waiho ki te kokonga o te kāpata tawhito i roto i te rūma ako, ka taea te whakaranu pai ki te mangumangu, te pepa, ngā pene, me ngā whakapaipai tawhito, mā te whakamahi i tōna āhua maroke hei wero i te kaha marino ki roto i te wāhi.
Ko te aroha o te ataahua o te maroketanga kei roto i tōna whakaae ki ngā hapa. Kāore pea ngā rau o te putiputi rōhi maroke hangai i te tino maeneene, kāore pea ngā tae i te kanapa, ā, kāore pea te tū tika i te tika. Engari nā ēnei hapa tonu, ka whiwhi wairua oraora. Te āhua nei kei te kī mai ki a tātou: Kāore he paerewa kotahi o te ataahua. Ehara te memeha i te mutunga; ko te tīmatanga o tētahi atu oranga. Ehara te aroha i te mea ko te puāwaitanga nui me te whakamiharo; ka taea hoki te noho marino me te pumau.
