Pāoa’s journey

Ka wehe a Pāoa i a Horouta i Ōhiwa i te Moana-a-Toitehuatahi, ka haere ki te rapu rākau hei auaha haumi hōu. Ka hīkoi ia ki uta, ka kake i tētahi maunga. I reira ka kitea he rākau pai hei auaha haumi, ka tapaina taua maunga ko Maunga Haumi. Nā te kore awa hei neke i te rākau, ka mimi a Pāoa kia rere ngā awa o Waipāoa, o Waioeka, o Mōtū.
