Ko te hōke te wā, ka whakarite a koro rāua ko tana mokopuna ki te whakamānawa i te rewatanga mai o Matariki. Ka taka rāua i ngā momo kai kia hari atu ai ki te maunga i te atapō. Kātahi te tama ka ako i ngā akoranga e pā ana ki te kaihautū o Te Waka o Rangi, nāna i hao ngā wairua o ngā tāngata kua riro, nāna anō i tuku atu ki te rangi hei whetū.

Ka pahure ake te tau kotahi, ā, i mua tata atu i te rewatanga mai o Matariki, ka mate ohorere a koro. Ināianei, mā te tama tonu e whakaatu ki tana whānau i ngā tikanga Matariki, ā, ko te karanga atu i tō Koro ingoa kia tahuri ai ia hei whetū.
