Ko taua kuia rā, ko Mahuika, he ahi katoa, te tinana, ngā ringaringa, ngā waewae, te upoko, ngā makawe he ahi katoa. Ka kōwhakina mai e ia i te tōiti; ka mīharo atu a Māui ki te ahi ka homai e ia (JPS 1929:21). / That elderly woman, Mahuika, was all fire, her body, arms, legs, head and hair were all fire. She plucked off her little finger, and Maui marvelled at the fire she gave him.
