Mō te wā e hiahia ana koe ki te kaukau ataahua, ka ara ake te tautohetohe mutunga kore: me whiriwhiri koe i tētahi puna kaukau tuku iho, me pupuri rānei i tētahi puna kaukau hou kia ātaahua, kia ātaahua? Me ruku tātou ki roto—he kupu whakarite noa iho tēnei.
He rite te puna kaukau tuku iho ki te whanaunga e tae atu ana ki ngā huihuinga whānau e taraiwa ana i tētahi SUV papai. He nui te rahi, te aroaro, me te "titiro mai ki ahau." He nui te wāhi ka whiwhi koe mō ngā takahuri, ngā pōro pū, me ngā flamingo e mānu ana. Engari—kia rite koe—ka tae mai hoki me te keri, ngā whakaaetanga hanga, te tāera mutunga kore, me te herenga pumau. Kia tae ki tō kāinga, he rite tonu ki te kirimana marena kua tuhia ki te raima. Ā, me te tiaki? Whakaarohia ngā haora e pau ana ki te hī ika rau, te whakamātautau i te chlorine, me te whakamārama ki ngā hoa noho he aha e kore ai e taea e ā rātou tamariki te noho ki roto.
Ko ngā wāhi kaukau ia, he teina atamai, he hākinakina hoki. He iti, he whai hua, ā, he maha ngā whakamahinga, ka taea e koe te kaukau ki te taha o te ia, te kaukau i roto i te kaukau wera, te manaaki rānei i tētahi rōpū kaukau iti me te kore e hiahiatia he haurua eka whenua. He māmā noa te tāutanga, pērā i te tuku ki te wāhi tika ka mono. Ā, ko te tiaki? He iti noa iho te uaua o te mahi. Whakaarohia he "horoi tere" atu i te "mahi mutunga wiki." Ko te ngoikoretanga? Āe, kāore koe e karanga i te tīma kaukau katoa o te rohe ki te whakaharatau - he whaiaro ake, he piripono ake.
Nā, he aha te whakatau? Ki te moemoeā koe ki te manaaki i ngā huihuinga raumati whakamiharo me ngā parade poti flamingo, ko te puna kaukau ā-iwi te wāhi pai mōu. Ki te pai koe ki te kaukau i te tau katoa, ki ngā waka whakaora, me tētahi mea e pai ake ana ki tō pēke me tō wā waatea, ka toa te wāhi kaukau.
I te mutunga, ehara i te mea ko tēhea te mea pai ake—engari ko tēhea te mea e hari ake ai koe. Nā te mea, ko te wai te mea hei hari, ehara i te ahotea.
