Maui and the Sun

                         Maui and the sun

“I am Maui a trickster and a powerful demigod of the wind and sea. And I am confident and a brave person. With a big massive magical fish hook. And I care about my people. And I am undefeated. I would make the sun go slow.

Days went on quickler and made people older and older. But one day Maui he was very grumpy at the sun because the sun made days very short. Maui had 4 brothers he said to his brothers “brothers I am very grumpy with that sun because he makes days too short. And we have no time to do stuff. So we should make the sun slower so he does not make time more faster. We will have to go to the cave of the sun.

But one of the brothers were very scared the brother said “but it will burn us”. But Maui said “we will make magical ropes by blessing it”. So the brothers went and looked for some flax in the afternoon. And when they came back with the flax it was almost night time. So they got two flax and then plated them. When they had finish plating they blessed the flax’s by saying a lotu (prayer in tongan).

When they had blessed the flax’s they went. It was very dark for them so they took a torch with them. When they were nearly there they were very hot and the ground was hot as well.while they were walking they found a pit but it was not just an ordinary pit it was the cave where the sun was. When they got there it was almost evening. So Maui told his brothers to build a tall rock wall so the sun does not see them. Just in time they finished building it. The sun was rising. When the sharp teeth of the sun rose, Maui said to his brothers to throw the ropes so they threw it and it went on perfectly. After that Maui got his magical fish hook that his grandpa carved for him and slapped the sun with his hook. When the sun had lost his strength Maui told his brothers to untangle the ropes so the brothers took the ropes of the sun went back home. Finally the sun went slower and the people could do all their chores.
