About Square and Round Nohoanga Maha-mahi
He nohoanga maha-mahi a Square and Round i hangaia ki te rākau piiti me te akiriki. Mā te mata akiriki pūataata e whakaatu te hanganga rākau o roto. Ka whakatakotoria ki tētahi taha, ka noho te mata hei nohoanga māmā. Ka hurihia whakararo, ka huri taua mata anō hei tēpu taha me tētahi rua e pupuri ana i ngā kī me ētahi atu taonga iti. Ka honoa ngā wāhanga mā te hanganga kī tōpito-rererua tuku iho, nō reira kāore he hononga konganuku e whakamahia ana. Ka taea te wetewete te nohoanga mā te ringa ina kitea te kī raka. Mā te takai papatahi ka whakaitihia te rahi kawenga.
