Keke raihi kua whakapūkaratia

Ko te keke raihi whakapūkara he keke tuku iho Hainamana i ahu mai i Haina. Ko tōna tino ataahua ko tōna ngawari, he puhuruhuru, he hauhautanga hoki—he reka engari kāore e whakakōkī. Ina kohuatia houtia, ka pupuhi te kakara o te huka parauri me ngā tāte whero (jujubes) i te hau. I ia ngau, ka ngawari te ahua o te keke, ka mākū, ka kitea he whatunga pūwero rite ki te honikoma i roto, ā, ka tere te hoki mai ina pēhia. Ka rewa mārire te kakara motuhake o te huka parauri ki te waha—kāore i te hinuhinu pērā i te keke, engari he nui ake te ngaungau me te mahana i ngā parāoa kohuatia noa. Ka taea te kai i tēnei kai reka maha hei kai parakuihi, hei kai reka kāinga rānei. E whakaponohia ana ka whāngai i te toto me te whakarei ake i te kiri, ka waiho hei tino pai mō te hunga taitamariki me te hunga kaumātua.
