Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi wahine i piki ake ki te 19 pauna i muri i tana whakawhiu i te kura mo te whai whaea wahine, kua ngaro te haurua o tōna taumaha tinana, ā, kei te rapu ia i te aroha. I tīmata a Christine Roberts, nō Telford, Shropshire, ki te kai whakamarietanga i muri i te wehenga o ōna mātua, ā, ka pānuitia e tōna whaea he wahine tāne ia. Ko te taumaha o te 19 pauna i te taumaha rawa, i whakawhiua a Miss Roberts na te mea he wahine tana whaea, a Sue. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He rahi 26 a Christine Roberts i mua engari kua ngaro te haurua o tōna taumaha tinana, ā, ināianei he 10 pauna te taumaha o tōna tinana. I piki ake te taumaha o Christine ki runga ake i te 19 pauna, ā, i mau ia i ngā kākahu rahi 26. 'I mea nga tamariki i te kura he wahine ahau, no te mea he wahine ia,' e ai ki a Miss Roberts, e 23 tau te pakeke, e waru nga pauna te taumaha atu i a ia. 'I mohio au ehara i a ia te mea i hara ai, ko tōna āhua noa iho. Ka whakamahia e rātau tētahi pūkete rūpahu o ahau hei whakatoi i a rātau ki te whakamōhio atu ki ētahi atu kotiro o te kura kei te aroha ahau ki a rātau. He tino uaua.' Na te whakawehi i whai ai a Miss Roberts ki te tiki pihikete, ā, i te 16 o ona tau, he rahi 26. I te ono o ona tau, ka wehe ngā mātua o Miss Roberts, ā, ko ia me tōna tuahine, ko Lisa, e 20 ōna tau ināianei, i noho ki te whaea, e 54 ōna tau ināianei. Heoi anō, i kī te kaiwhakahaere o Marks and Spencer i taua wā, kāore ia i mārama ki te mea i tupu. Ka mea ia: 'I haere mātou ki te noho ki te <unk>hoa o tōku māmā. Engari ko tōna hoa rangatira. 'I te tekau o oku tau i tino mārama ai ahau ki te mea e tupu ana.' I te wā i kitea e ngā tamariki i te kura he wahine tāne tōna whaea, ka kī a Miss Roberts i whakamahia e ngā kaitukino hei whakawai i a ia, ā, i kitea e ia he whakamarie i roto i te kai. 'Ka kai au i te toru o nga kete pihikete i te wa kotahi i a au e mahi ana i aku mahi akoranga - kaore au i taea te mutu,' e kii ana te 23-tau-tau. Kei te pai a Christine Roberts ki tana ahua hou i muri i tana whakahekenga i te waru pauna. Ko te hokinga whakamuri: I whakawhiua a Christine i te kura mo te taikaha o tona whaea. 'Kātahi ka haere au ki waho, ka hoko i ngā kete o ngā tīhi. 'I te kāinga ka kai au i ngā kai nui i te kai, ā, ka whakaaro au kāore au i kai i te rā katoa.' I a ia e 16 tau, neke atu i te 19 pauna te taumaha o Miss Roberts. 'He porohita tonu tēnei. Ka kai au no te mea he pouri ahau, katahi ka ite ahau...
He rahi 26 a Christine Roberts, ā, i eke ia ki te 19 pauna. I tīmata te kai whakamarie i muri i ngā whakahianga i te papa tākaro mō te āhua o te tūpāpaku o te whaea. I nekehia mai i Rānana ki Te Whakatōhea, ā, i whakatau ia ki te whakaheke taumaha.
