Ka hūtia ake a Rona e te marama

Rona snatched up by the moon

I tētahi pō atarau ka haere a Rona ki te utu wai. Ka ārai e te kapua te marama, ka taka te wahine rā ki raro. Ka riri ia, ka kanga ki te marama. Kātahi ka hūtia e te marama, kāhaki tonu atu i a Rona, i te rākau me tana tahā wai. Ki te āta titiro koe, ka kite koe i tōna āhua i te marama.
