Maui And The Sun.
Many, many, many years ago there lived a young boy named Maui (you might have heard about him) One day Maui asked his brother If he could go fishing with them. The brothers halfheartedly agreed through the prayed for Maui to not have another turn-into-a-bird-and-scare-all-the-fish-away accident. The next day the set-off but just as the had begun to cast their lines the naughty sun went down. The brothers' complaint amongst themselves and the Maui suddenly came up with a plan. That night he and his brothers plaited together a giant net made of flax. When they were done they silently crept to the gigantic hole where the sun slept and carefully laid the net across the hole. That morning when the sun rose it got stuck in the net. The sun thrashed around but the 4 brothers held the net down. Maui started repeatedly hitting the sun in the nose with his weapon which he had made from his grandmother's jawbone. The sun started crying out in agony and cursed Maui. Maui then made him promise to slow his trip down when he went over the sky otherwise he would come back with the jawbone. From then on the sun went slowly over the sky.
Lion And The Mouse Fable.
We are learning about Fables so we can improve our vocabulary.
Long ago in a savanna there lived a big Lion. One day after a long day of hunting lion flopped down in a shady patch to sleep but while he was asleep a family of mice came back home to discover the Lion in their way. They all started clambering over lion but just as the last little mouse was climbing over the Lion woke up and quickly grabbed the mouse. The mouse pleaded with the lion to let him go and the lion agreed. A couple of days later the Lion was walking down a path when he suddenly got pulled up into a net set by a hunter. He cried for help and when the little mouse heard him he ran to the rescue. The miniature mouse started chewing through the rope and freed the lion. After the lion got free the lion thanked the mouse and they became best friends.
