URIANGA O TE REO
HOBBIT
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with ends of worms and oozy smell nor yet dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down or to eat:
It was a hobbit- hole, and that means comfort".
TAKU URI'ANGA
“I roto i tetai rua, te noo ra tetai peneneke. Kare i te rua viivii, repo e te maūū, kī’ia e te toketoke e te aunga kivi, kare rai i te ngāi marō paka, ta’a ua e te oneone, māringakore no te no'ono'o e te kai mānga.
E ngāi noo’anga ra no te peneneke, tau meitaki e te pūmaana tikai”.
J. R.R. Tolkien.
“In a hole deep in the ground, there lived a hobbit. Not a filthy, dirty wet hole filled with slimy worms, unbearable smell, dry, sandy and not fit for relaxing or sleeping.
But, a home for the hobbit, beautiful and comfortable”.
