About this episode

This episode narrates a Māori version of Aesop's fable about a mother lark's concern for her young ones in a field of wheat.

A mother lark is wary of leaving her young ones in a field of nearly-ripe wheat lest it be reaped before they have fledged. She tells them to keep their ears open to the goings on, and to report back to her. Translation by Taurapa
