He maha ngā mahi a te mea hanga Kirihimete ritenga, ehara i te mea hei taonga takaro mā ngā tamariki. Whakamahia hei whakapaipai rākau ahurei: tāpirihia he koropiko iti ki te tihi o tētahi mea hanga hukarere iti, he mea hanga tia rānei, ka whakairihia ki tō rākau Kirihimete hei pā whaiaro. He koha ngākau nui hoki—whakaohokia te koroua me tētahi mea hanga e rite ana ki te kiripuaki hararei tino pai a tā rātou mokopuna, hoatu rānei ki te tokorua hou kua marenatia he tangata hukarere he mea hanga ki tā rāua rā Kirihimete tuatahi. Ka taea hoki e koe te whakamahi hei whakapaipai hakari: whakairihia he Hāta Hāta ki runga i te whāriki i te taha o ō tōkena, kuhua he mea hanga iti ki roto i tētahi kete koha, whakatakotoria rānei he tia i te taha o te tatau o mua hei mihi ki ngā manuhiri. Ā, i muri i te Kirihimete? Ka waiho hei taonga maumahara—penapenahia me ō whakapaipai hararei, ā, ka whakahokia mai ngā maharatanga i ia tau, i ia tau.

Ko te mea ngohengohe te rauemi Kirihimete tino pai, ā, koinei te take: he ngawari, he whakamarie hoki, e rite ana ki te mahana, te awhi o te wā hararei. Kāore i rite ki ngā whakapaipai karāhe pakarukaru, ki ngā whakapaipai kirihou rānei, he pakari te mea ngohengohe—ka taea e ngā tamariki te awhi, te tākaro me te kawe i ngā haerenga hararei me te kore e manukanuka kei pakaru. He ataahua hoki te pupuri i te tae me ngā taipitopito e te mea ngohengohe: ka noho kanapa tonu ngā whero kanapa, ngā kākāriki, me ngā koura, ā, ka noho pūmau ngā tuitui iti (pēnei i te ingoa, i te rā rānei) mō ngā tau. Hei tāpiri, he maha ngā whakamahinga—ka taea e koe te hanga i tētahi mea ngohengohe o tētahi rahi, mai i tētahi whakapaipai iti 3-inihi ki tētahi Hāta Nui 2-putu te roa e noho ana i te taha o te ahi. Koinei te momo whakapaipai kāore i te "hoko mai i te toa" engari he "hangaia me te aroha," koinei te kaupapa o te Kirihimete.
