Ngā Puku Witi

Ko te rā tēnei e tohu ana i te kupu Xiaoman (ngā Puku Witi). Kei te tīmata noa te tupu o ngā mea katoa o te taiao, engari he ātaahua, he tino pai hoki - kāore i te nui rawa, kāore i te iti rawa.
E ai ki ngā kōrero a ngā tūpuna: "Ka memeha te marama ina kī; ka puhake te wai ina puhake." Kāore te ao e hiahia kia tino tika. Ko Xiaoman — he kīanga iti — te momo tino pono o te ngākau māhaki.
Ka whiti mātou i ngā maunga me ngā moana, e kawe ana i ngā taonga puta noa i ngā tawhiti mutunga kore. Nā te mea he hohonu ō mātou pakiaka i roto i te umanga kawe taonga o te ao, e mārama ana mātou he mehua tō ngā mea katoa — he wā hei anga whakamua, he wā hei hoki whakamuri. Kāore mātou e rapu i te nui rawa; ka neke whakamua mātou me te pumau. Ka whakahonoretia e mātou ngā whakawhirinakitanga katoa kua tukua mai ki a mātou, ā, ka whakarite kia tere tonu te rere o ia uta.
Kia kitea koe e ia Xiaoman i te marino, e neke haere ana i roto i te ao me te marino me te ataahua. Kia pai te haere o āu mahi, kia pai hoki ngā mea katoa māu.
Ko Xiaoman (Ngā Puku Witi) te tuawaru o ngā kupu rā e 24. E rua ngā tikanga o te ingoa: Tuatahi, i te raki o Haina, ka tīmata te kī me te momona o ngā witi o ngā hua raumati pērā i te witi, engari kāore anō kia tino pakari — he "iti noa iho", kāore anō kia "nui rawa". Tuarua, i te tonga o Haina, ka piki ake te ua, ka tīmata te piki o ngā taumata awa. Nō reira, e whakaata ana a Xiaoman i te āhuatanga āhuarangi o te ua nui me te wāhanga tipu ā-wāhanga o ngā hua.
