Los difuntos - te hunga mate

Kāore anō kia oho i te wā e tika ana kia parakuihi i te hōtera. Ka tūtaki māua i ōku whaea i el Café Valerio. Ka mutu, ka hoki tōku māmā ki te moe, i te māuiui tonu. Ka haere mātou ko Valerie ma raro ki te toa pukapuka, ko El Ateneo. He toa nui rawa atu i roto i tētahi teatro (whare whakaari) tawhito. Kua huri te atamira hei cafetería, ā, kei te wāhi nohonoho ngā pukapuka. I runga rā he pēita e iriiri ai ngā anahera i te tuanui.

Ka wehe atu a Aroha rāua ko Valerie ki ngā toa pūeru, ā, ka noho au ki te tirotiro haere. Ka hoki mai rāua ka peka atu mātou ki te kai. Ka ngata te hiakai, ka haere tonu ki Recoleta. He barrio tino pai, he maha ngā whare ātaahua, he Wīwī te hanga o te nuinga o ngā mea tawhito.

Ka kuhu atu ki roto o te urupā o Recoleta. He ao anō, me he tāone mo te hunga mate! He wharekōiwi nō terā whānau, nō tērā whānau. I roto i te nuinga he arapiki e heke ana ki raro i te whenua. He karāehe i roto i ngā kūaha e kitea atu ai ngā kāwhena. Ka aroha hoki ētahi o ngā wharekōiwi, kua mahue e te whānau. I reira hoki te takotoranga o Eva Perón. E hia kē ngā whakaahua i tangohia!

Ka hoki ki ngā hōtera. Ka hokona he kai mā tōku māmā, ka haere ai te toenga o mātou ki tētahi parilla (wharekai rorerore). Ka kī rawa te puku, ka hoki ki te moe. Me iti iho gte kai!
