maui and the secret of fire

Once a upon a time there was was a man called maui he found out the secret of fire and he thought he should use fire for keeping his brothers warm and healthy.

when maui ran out of fire he saw a volcano with flickers of flames. His Aunty lived in the heart of the volcano, so Maui travelled to the dry and bare land when the volcano was. Maui told his Aunty that there was no more fire in his village. His Aunty plucked a flame from her finger and gave it to Maui. Maui went on and after that he kept on dropping the fire on purpose and he kept on asking his aunty for fire and he kept on dropping it. Maui and his Aunty had an argument because he had stolen all her fire. She got even more mad and to protect the magic of fire she hid it in a tree.

But maui found the fire and he took it back to his village and he shared it to everyone and he was a hero.

the legend of kupe

Long long ago kupe and his family travelled across the pacific ocean to get to aotearoa and when

they arrived kupe said this place is bigger than his small tropical islands.

Afterwards a big day at the sea kupes wife saw white long clouds on the border coming to betray land and she returned to her island because of that long and white cloud.

What a huge island that these people found for kupes small tropical islands and snow capped mountains and huge moa birds.

Kupe and his family has heard about the greenstone and that it is a carving and people wear it and they were hunting for a greenstone for years and year's and then they took the one that someone stole and they finally got their greenstone back and put it back where it belongs.

After kupe didn't have any food so they hunted for animals because maoris kill animals and then that's what they eat when they have no food left so they check in the forest and then

they found heaps of pigs and than went on to kill the pigs so that they can eat the pigs.

And before kupe wanted to kill more animals kupe decided to get more because he has a very big family so he sailed across the sea to find more fish and animals to hunt and it took year's and year's and kupe said we can't give up i don't want my family to starve then kupe still didn't give up for his wife or family so kupe didn't find anything so he sailed back to aotearoa to his big island to remind his family he didn't find anything so he just had pigs.
