Te Tangata i Whati ai te Pēke

Ko wai ia

He pūkaha a Charles Deville Wells (1841–1922), he kaitinihanga auau hoki i kohi moni mai i ngā kaihaumi mō ngā hangarau kāore i te tīari. I te Hōngongoi 1891 ka tae ia ki Monte Carlo me ngā £4,000 o taua momo moni. I roto i ngā rā e rima, he maha ngā wā i whati ai i a ia te pēke, arā, i pau i a ia te pūtea moni o tētahi tēpu, ā, ka wehe ia me te £40,000 pea, ki tāna ake kōrero, arā, he maha ngā miriona pāuna i ēnei rā.

Te Rūreti o Monte Carlo

He aha tāna i mahi ai

I kī ia he pūnaha tōna e kore e taka, engari kāore rawa ia i kī he aha. Kāore he tauira mārama i kitea e ngā kaititiro i tāna tākaro, ā, kāore he kōrero pono e whakaingoa ana i tētahi tikanga; he matapae noa te MartingalerautakiMartingaleHe kauneke e whakarua ana i te peti i muri i ia hinga.

Ka noho tētahi hei Wells. Ko Wells tonu.

Te waiata

Ko te waiata a Fred Gilbert, “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo” (1892), i waiatatia e Charles Coborn, i tino rongonui i ngā whare puoro o Rānana, ā, i whiti atu ki Amerika. Ka hīkoi whakahīhī tōna kaikōrero i te huarahi matua me te āhua tū motuhake, ā, mai i taua wā ko te kīanga “broke the bank” (whati i te pēke) te tikanga he toa mīharo. Kāore te waiata e whakahua i te toronga tuarua.

Te toronga tuarua me ōna hua

I hoki mai a Wells i taua ngahuru, ā, i toa anō, kātahi ka ngaro i a ia tētahi wāhanga o te moni i tētahi toronga i te takurua o 1891–92. He nui tāna whakapau moni ki tētahi waka tere papai, te Palais Royale, ki te moni a ngā kaihaumi; kāore rawa i tae ki Monte Carlo. I te mutunga o te tau 1892 ka puritia ia e ngā pirihimana Wīwī ki Le Havre, ā, i te Poutūterangi 1893 ka whakawhiua ia e tētahi kōti o Rānana ki te waru tau mahi taimaha i te whare herehere mō te tinihanga. I tukua ia i te tau 1899, e toru anō ngā tau i whiwhi ai ia i te tau 1906 mō tētahi atu tinihanga, ā, i te tau 1911 pea ka whakahaere ia i tētahi pēke tinihanga i Pārihi i kī taurangi ai i te 1% ia rā, nā reira i mauheretia ai ia ki tētahi whare herehere Wīwī. I mate ia ki Rānana i te tau 1922. Ko te whare petipeti, nāna i utu te £40,000 i te tau 1891, ā, i nui ake tāna i whiwhi ai i te pānuitanga, i tino whai hua nā runga i a ia.

He aha i hira ai te kōrero

Koinei te tauira mārama rawa o tētahi pūnaha e “whai hua” ana, kātahi ka kore. Kāore te pūnaha i mahi i tētahi mea i ngā wā e rua; i haere mai te waimarie, i haere atu anō, pērā i tā ngā whārangi tītaringapāngarauTītaringaHe inenga o te whānui o te marara o ngā hua huri noa i te uara tūmanako.

Kei ia pūnaha kua hokona mai i taua wā tētahi Wells i roto i ōna kōrero whakamihi, ā, kei ia pūnaha tētahi toronga tuarua kāore te kōrero whakamihi e whakahua.
