Otirā, kua puta te taniwha i tōna rua, ā, e tika ana kia werohia, kia patua hoki mēnā ka taea. Nō reira, anei aku kupu paremata, ahakoa poto nei, ki tērā momo kōrero (HM 2/1993:4). / But the monster has emerged from its lair and it's appropriate to challenge it and kill it if it's possible. So here is my response, although short, to that type of talk.
