We are learning abot maori legends. We wrote a recount of the legend Maui and the sun.

Maui and the sun. A long time ago a brave man called Maui lived on a Island On those Island lots of other people lived with Maui and also on that Island the sun went to fast the lades had no time to weave the men had no time to fish and hunt and most of all the children had no time to play what were they going to do. Maui really wanted to slow the sun so he thought Of a plan then he got it he gathered all of his brothers and The strongest men of the tribe then he asked the ladies to make a strong rope that will hold the strength of the fast sun . After that he prayed that they will do the job he needed them to do. When they were ready they set of. It was a long way but soon they felt hot under ground so they knew that they were nearly there. Finally they got there. They put a net over the hole that the sun came out of then they built walls to hide behind. While the sun came up Maui was as still as a tuatara. After Maui told his brothers to throw the ropes over the sun They beat the sun and pulled at the ropes and the sun moaned and groaned and that is how we get summer and winter. By Anastasia
