I ngā rā o mua, i reira tētahi wahine taitamariki ko Anna tōna ingoa, he kaituhi uaua, e ngana ana ki te whakatutuki i ngā hiahia o te tangata i te tāone nui. I moemoeā tonu a Anna kia noho hei kaituhi pukapuka angitu, engari ko te mea pono, kāore i te rawaka tana moni whiwhi hei utu i te reti.
I tētahi rā, ka waea mai tōna whaea ki a Anna. Kua mate tōna kuia, ā, me hoki a Anna ki te kāinga mō te tangihanga. Kua maha ngā tau e kore ana a Anna e hoki ki te kāinga, ā, ko te whakaaro ki te hoki ki te kāinga i whakakī i a ia ki te pouri me te manukanuka.
I te taenga atu o Anna, i manaakihia ia e tōna whānau me ngā ringa tuwhera. I awhi rātou, i tangi, me te maumahara ki ō rātou maharatanga ki tōna kuia. I pā ki a Anna tētahi wairua nōhanga kāore i roa kua kore i a ia.
I muri i te tangihanga, ka huihui te whānau o Anna ki te whare o tōna kuia ki te tirotiro i ana taonga. I whakarōpūhia e rātou ngā whakaahua tawhito, ngā reta, me ngā taonga whakapaipai, kei roto i ia whakaahua he maharatanga motuhake. I ohorere a Anna i te kitenga i tētahi puranga o āna kōrero tawhito, i tuhia i a ia e tamariki ana.
I a Anna e pānui ana i ana kōrero, ka hoki whakamuri ia ki tētahi wā kāore he āwangawanga, he kawenga rānei āna. Kī tonu ana kōrero i te whakaaro auaha me te miharo, ā, ka mōhio ia koinei te momo tuhituhi i hiahia tonu ia ki te mahi.
I muri mai i taua pō, i noho a Anna i roto i te kīhini o tōna kuia, e inu tī ana, e titiro atu ana ki waho o te matapihi. I kite ia i tētahi kapu kirihou whakakorekore e tū ana i runga i te kaute, ā, i whakamahara i a ia ki te ngāwari me te ngāwari o te noho hou.
Kātahi ka puta he whakaaro ki a Anna. Ka tuhia e ia tētahi kōrero mō te haerenga o tētahi kapu kirihou whakakorekore. He kōrero mō ngā haerenga o te kapu, tōna whai huatanga i ia rā, me ngā akoranga i akohia i te ara.
I pau ngā wiki torutoru a Anna ki te tuhituhi i tana kōrero, me te ringihia o tōna ngākau me tōna wairua ki roto i ia kupu. I tana otinga, i mōhio ia koinei te mea pai rawa atu kua tuhia e ia. I tukuna e ia ki tētahi maheni tuhituhi, ā, i miharo ia, i whakaaetia kia whakaputaina.
I tino rongonui te kōrero, ā, i tere tonu te rongonui. I uiuitia a Anna e ētahi o ngā pāpāho, ā, i mōhiotia ia hei kaituhi pūkenga. I tīmata ia ki te whiwhi tono mō ngā utu pukapuka me ngā whaikōrero, ā, i tutuki tana moemoeā kia noho hei kaituhi pukapuka angitu.
I a Anna e tuhituhi tonu ana, ka tīmata ia ki te kite i te horapa okapu kirihou whakakorekorei te oranga o ia rā. I kite ia i a rātou i ngā whare kawhe, i ngā wharekai, tae noa ki tōna ake kāinga. I tīmata ia ki te whakaaro ki ngā āhuatanga pai okapu kirihou whakakorekore, pērā i tōna watea me tōna utu iti.
I whakatau ia ki te tuhi i tētahi atu kōrero mō te haerenga o tētahi kapu kirihou whakakorekore, engari i tēnei wā, he kōrero pai. Ka tuhi ia mō te kaha o te kapu ki te whakakotahi i te tangata, ngā maharatanga i hangaia e ia, me ngā kaupapa whakapūmau e mahia ana e ngā kamupene hei whakaiti i te para.
I tino manakohia te kōrero a Anna, ā, i āwhina i te whakarerekētanga o te kōrero e pā ana ki tēneikapu kirihou whakakorekoreI tīmata te iwi ki te titiro ki a rātou i roto i te tirohanga pai ake, ā, ka tīmata ngā kamupene ki te whakatinana i ngā mahi tauwhiro ake.
I whakahīhī a Anna ki te pānga o āna tuhinga, ā, i haere tonu ia ki te tuhi i ngā kōrero i whakaoho i te iwi kia whakaaro rerekē mō te ao e karapoti nei i a rātou. I mōhio ia i ētahi wā, me huri noa te tirohanga kia puta ai he huringa pai.
Mai i taua rā tonu, ka oati a Anna ki a ia anō kia piripono tonu ki ōna hiahia, kia whakamahia hoki āna mahi tuhituhi hei hanga i tētahi rerekētanga ki te ao. Ā, ka maumahara tonu ia i ētahi wā, ka puta mai te whakaaweawe mai i ngā wāhi tino kore e tūpono, ahakoa i roto i tētahi kapu kirihou whakakorekore.
