Nā, ka mea kia tukua ngā aho o ngā tukana, ka motokia tōna ihu e Māui; taratīa ana te toto. Ka rere, ka taratī te karukaru, ka pōtaea ki runga ki tōna maka hei mounu (Tr 1874:39). / Now, when his older brothers let out their lines, Māui punched his nose and blood spurted out. The blood flowed, spurting out and he smeared it on his fish-hook as bait.
