Ko te Ponekeneke (Hobbit)

Translation / Urianga

Uri i teia tataanga ki roto i te reo Maori

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty,

wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell,

nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat:

it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

Taku Urianga ki te Reo Papaa

Ko taku urianga teia ki te reo Papaa no runga i taku tataanga i roto i te reo maori

There lived a hobbit in a hole in the soil. It is not an ugly, smelly, filthy, and wet place to be that is filled with worms but was bare and dry and no seat to sit and eat. It is a comfortable residence for the hobbit filled with love.
