1. No toku taenga ki Turanga i kite ai ahau i a Kere. 2. He mate ia i toku taenga mai, otira kihai i maha nga ra kua ora. 3. Kia hoki mai ia i Tapui ka matau ai ahau ki tona haere i a koe, ki tona kore ranei e haere. 4. A hea timataia ai e Turi te hanga i te whare mo Peta? 5. Kite kau raua i a Paoa, kua mohio raua he rangatira ia. 6. Hei te mutunga o ta korua mahi me haere korua ki Omaha. 7. Kia whiti ahau ki tawahi o te awa ka kite ai ahau i a Heke.
