Nō taua pō ka tokona te rākau rā e te aitanga pēpeke. Nō te kitenga o Rata, ka kōrero ngā ngārara ki a ia, ‘He warea nōu ka tapahi pokanoa i te rākau.’ Ka whakamā a Rata, ka pōuri. Heoi, ka tārai e te iwi pepeke rā tētahi waka mōna, nā ngā pūngāwerewere i hoatu ngā whakanikoniko.
Insects had the job of protecting the sacred forest. A man named Rātā chopped down a tree for a canoe, without asking the forest god. That night, the insects raised the tree up again. Rātā cut it down, but again the insects raised it up. When Rātā saw them, the insects said, ‘You had no right to chop down the tree without permission.’ Rātā was ashamed and sorry. The insects then built him a canoe, which the spiders carved beautifully.
