Ko te ao o Mihiroa, ko tana whānau, ko te haupoi metana akoako i te kura. Kātahi ka tūtaki a Mihiroa rāua ko Kēriana. Rere ana te wehiwehi, tutū ana te puehu i waenga i te tokorua i tō rāua tūtakinga tuatahi. E rua e rua he kōtiro whāngai. E rua e rua he pūkenga ki te hākinakina haupoi. He aha te mutunga ki te tokorua nei, ō rāua hoa, me ō rāua whānau? He pūkete e hāngai ana ki te taumata rima o te marautanga reo. Kei roto i te pūkete, e rima ngā pukapuka ākonga (te pakimaero Mihiroa), he kōpae whakarongo, me te puka aratohu a te kaiako.
