Ka rapurapu noa ia i tētahi maro, i tētahi tū mōna, nōwhea hoki i kitea? Kātahi ia ka rere atu ki te kukume mai i ngā puru o te pihanga, o te whatitoka; kukume rawa mai, anana, kua tīkokekoke noa ake te rā o waho (NM 1928:8). / She searched everywhere for a maro , a girdle for herself, but could she find one anywhere? Then she rushed to pull out the plugs in the window and door, and when she finally pulled them out, low and behold the sun outside was high in the heavens.
