Pipiwharauroa looked up at the sun filtering through the leaves then down at the cold damp earth and said: “ no, I’m to busy building my nest”. Great sadness filled the heart of Tanehokahoka for he knew that if one of his children did not come down, not only would his brother's children perish, but the birds would lose their homes. As Tanemahuta’s last hope he turned to Kiwi and said “E’kiwi will you come to the forest bottom”. Kiwi looked up at the sun filtering through the leaves, then down at the cold damp earth then he said “Okay”. Joy filled the hearts of Tanehokahoka and Tanemahuta because this bird had given them hope. But, Tanemahuta thought that he should warn kiwi of what would happen if kiwi came to the forest
