Original Text
“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.”
Ko te akatutu anga teia o ta maua uri anga maori o teia tara.
