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.
