translated from Sebastian Englert's Leyendas

A Vision of a Divine Being A Vision of a Divine Being
Told by Carlos Teao Tori
Ko Tori korohua i-vânaga-mai-ai: Old Tori told me:
"Ku-tikea-á au etahi vî'e a Makemake. Pehe ragi puga te teatea o te kahu, a te tapa hanuanua-mea i Anakena ana-haere i-Ovahe. "I saw a woman sent by Makemake. Similar to a cumulus cloud was the whiteness of her dress by the side of a rainbow that went from Anakena to Ovahe.
I toona raá he-tikea-hakaow". On another day I returned to see her."
