Noho ai a Riwia, tōna māmā me tōna pāpā ki tō rātou wēne - te Mātai Arorangi. I wehe mai rātou i te kāinga kia noho tata ai ki te taina a Riwia, a Tawa, kei te hōhipera.
Engari Ka māuiui tonu a Tawa. Kātahi ka mate ia, ā, kua whakahopkia a ia e Riwia me tōna whānau ki te kāinga kia tangihia.
Ā, kua ara mai a Matariki, e tohu ana i te tau hou. Kua noho a Riwia me tōna whanau ki te Mātai Arorangi ki te whakamaumahara ki a Tawa, ki te rapu hoki i tōna whetū i te rangi.
He wāhanga tēnei pūrākau o te kohinga e pā ana ki te aroha me te poipoi i te manawaroa o te hunga tamariki kua pākia ki ngā momo tūkinotanga. Ko te whāinga he āwhina i ngā mātua me ngā tamariki ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō ēnei āhuatanga, ka tautoko ake i a rātou me tō rātou oranga wairua, oranga tinana oranga hinengaro, oranga whānau hoki.
The English language edition is Riwia and the Stargazer.
