Maui and the Sun Stories. As part of our Maori unit this term we have read Maori legends.

Maui and the sun Once upon a time there were five boys eating their food and the sun is started to go too fast. Maui saw the sun race across the sky very fast and the boys didn’t get time to fish and eat their food. Maui told his brothers to make flax ropes. When the flax ropes were finished the brothers walked across to where the sun stays. The brother threw their ropes at the sun and the sun started to cry. The brother got time to fish and eat their food and they lived happily ever after. By Sera
