Excerpt from Tales of a Dying Race A Few weeks after the beginning of the century, a mixed company of troops from India visited the islands of New Zealand for the edification of the inhabitants. A magnificent Sikh was asked what he thought of the Maoris. ´Phaugh!´ said he, ´they are pigs!´ Meeting one of his Maori friends, the interlocutor said, ´Paramena, what is your opinion of these Indian troops?´ ´Wella,´ said Paramena, ´some fine men, rangatira, like you an´ me. Some no good, taurekareka, like the monkey. But all know t´e drill. Where they get t´e drill? T´e pakeha´ (the white man) ´he teach them. Now then. T´e Maori he fighting man too. You gif him t´e gun, an´ he jus´ as good as these men. But he no want t´e drill - he got it pefore t´e pakeha come.´ Of a truth, the Maori takes to fighting intuitively. For over seven hundred years his was a fighting race, and then came the pakeha and spoiled everything. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
