Retelling



Maui and the sun




It was ā dark night.  Maui and his brothers could not see.  Māui  said to his brothers the sun always zooms around the sky and the days are too short  and nights are too long.  Māui said to his brothers we don't get time to hunt and we don’t get time to fish.  Then Māui said to his brothers we must catch the sun said Māui. But Māui’s brothers laughed and they made ropes out of flax. They went to find the hole where the sun comes from. Then when Māui said to his brothers when I say jump out and get the ropes.Then when Māui said jump Māui’s brothers jumped out behind the big rock but Māui beat the sun again and again but the sun said “owee!”. The sun said “can’t you see me I’m almost dead” said the sun. The sun said I will go slowly and the brothers had time to hunt and time to fish and time to eat.
