Nā ko tēnei tamaiti i rite ki te kurī nei i ētahi wāhi. Te upoko he upoko tangata, ko ngā whatu me te āhua o te mata, me te ihu me ngā kauwae me te waha he kurī katoa, ko te tinana he tinana tangata katoa - ngā pokohiwi, ngā ringa, ngā kūwhā, ngā ateate, ko ngā rekereke me ngā matikuku he rite ki te kurī katoa te āhua. Ko te kōrero he haru kurī (JPS 1914:136). / Now, this child partly resembled a dog. Its head was that of a man, but its eyes, the appearance of the face, the nose, the jaws, and the mouth, were like a dog. Its body was that of a man - its shoulders, arms, thighs, calves, but the heels and claws were like those of a dog. It is said it had the bark of a dog.
