Te Kopara 20
[3] Te Kopara, Number 20, Gisborne, June, 1915.
‘Iti te Kopara, kai takirikiri ana i runga i te Kahikatea.’
Although the Bellbird is small, he plucks at the Kahikatea. [cf Nga Pepeha 908]
THE HOLY BIBLE (V)
There is an occupation which is providing much treasure for those in Hauraki who are working at it; it is hard work involving going down into the depths of the earth. If the ore is found it is brought up and pounded into small pieces, into dust, then the man finds his treasure. Such is the man’s craving that he gives no thought to the hard work that is involved in getting it.
