"I roto i ngā kīhini iti, he pai ake te wehewehe i ō paraharaha kia rite ki te rahi, te momo, me ngā rauemi. Puritia ngā paraharaha oumu nui kia kotahi, ngā paraharaha he kakau, ngā paraharaha maitai kore waikura māmā, me ngā wahi rino maka taumaha kia kotahi," te kī a te kaiwhakahaere ngaio a Devin VonderHaar. Ehara i te mea ka ngāwari noa te kimi i ngā mea katoa, engari ka āwhina hoki ki te ārai i te kino o ō paraharaha.
"Ki te mea he wāhi kei roto i ō kāpata, whakamahia he waea whakarite hei whakarite poutū i ō paraharaha," te kī a Devin VonderHaar, he kaiwhakarite ngaio. He huarahi pai tētahi whata whakarewa māmā pēnei hei pupuri i ō paraharaha kia pai ai te mahi, kia mōhio tonu ai koe ki hea rātou.

Mena he kohua me he paraharaha tae kanapa āu, he huarahi pai tēnei hei whakanui ake i te tae, hei huri hoki i te wāhi rokiroki hei āhuatanga hoahoa ngahau.
E te kairēti, koinei tēnei māu. He huarahi pai te rokiroki e mau ana ki te papa hei whakawhānui i ngā whata mena kāore e taea te whakairi i ētahi atu rokiroki ki te pakitara, ā, he tino pai tēnei Whata Kohua Kīhini Kokonga mai i Amazon hei whakamahi pai i aua kokonga kau, kāore i te tino whakamahia. He tino pai tēnei hoahoa kowiri tira mō te kīhini hou, engari mō te āhua tuku iho, whakaarohia he momo rakau.
Mena he torutoru noa iho āu paraharaha e hiahia ana koe ki te whakaatu, kia noho tata hoki, kaua e wehea te whata katoa, engari me tāpiri noa ētahi pae whakahau taumaha ka whakairi.

Ki te kore koe e hiahia ki te hoko wāhi motuhake mō ō kohua me ō paraharaha, he iti noa ngā mea ka taea e koe te mahi hei whakarite kia tiakina ō kohua me ō paraharaha. He tokomaha o tātou e whakamahi ana i te tikanga "kōhanga" hei whakauru i ā tātou paraharaha ki roto i ngā kāpata, ā, he iti noa iho te wāhi e hiahiatia ana. Mā te whakanoho i ia paraharaha ki roto i tētahi paraharaha nui ake ka penapena wāhi, engari ka taea hoki te kino i te mata o te paraharaha.
He whakaaro pai te hoko i tētahi parenga mō te kohua me te paraharaha, pērā i ēnei mai i Amazon. Whakauruhia noa ki waenganui i ia paraharaha, ā, e kore e tiaki noa i te paraharaha, e ārai hoki i te mirimiri o te paninga, engari ka mimiti hoki i te makuku hei ārai i te waikura.

Hei tikanga whānui, he pai ake kia kaua e rongoatia ngā kohua i raro i te totohu, nā te mea ehara pea i te wāhi tino ma.

Engari i roto i te kīhini iti, e tino mārama ana mātou he uaua te kimi i te wāhi nui hei rongoa i ngā mea katoa, nō reira, ki te mea me whakamahi rawa koe i te wāhi i raro i te totohu hei rokiroki, ka taea e koe te mahi i ētahi mahi whakatūpato. Ko te raruraru nui i konei ko te makuku, nō reira haumi ki tētahi papa mimiti hei mimiti i te makuku, i ngā turuturu rānei. Mena he nui tō wāhi, ka taea hoki e koe te whakamahi i tētahi ipu hei tiaki i tō paraharaha.
