Mena katahi ano koe ka mohio he mate pukupuku koe, tera pea ka pouri koe, ka awangawanga koe. He mea noa mo te tauhohenga tuatahi he mataku. Ahakoa te ahu whakamua o te rongoa, ka noho tonu te mate pukupuku he panui whakamataku. Ko taku tohutohu tuatahi ko te whakamohio pai i a koe ano, ina pahemo te ohorere. Ma te panui i tenei pepa korero ka tino awhina koe ki te mohio ki tenei mate, a he pai nga tohutohu i konei. No reira karekau he tikanga maku ki te whakahoki ano. E tino taunaki ana ahau kia tino mohio koe mo te mate pukupuku kei a koe. Tirohia etahi atu pepa meka ina hiahiatia.

Mawehe atu i nga tangata e tuku ana i nga "whakaora merekara": karekau he rongoa. Mena kei te pirangi koe ki te tuhura i nga huarahi rerekee, kia tupato me te whakarite kia kore tetahi e tukino, e tukino ranei i to whakaraeraetanga.

Ki taku whakaaro, me matawhānui te huarahi ki te maimoatanga mate pukupuku, i te tuatahi me uru mai he roopu rongoa (he maha nga mahi maha) a, ki te pirangihia, nga huarahi taapiri e pai ana ki a koe.

Ko te whawhai ki te mate pukupuku he nui te maia me te whakatau. Kaua e noho mokemoke, whakawhirinaki ki to whanau, hoa me to whanau; whakamahia he roopu tautoko mehemea e tika ana. Waimarie!
