Maui and the North Island - Jessica

A long time ago there was a warrior called Maui. Maui was very tall and very brave. He has tattoos from all the beasts that he had fort over the years. But all of the sudden people started to get sick and hungry in Maui’s village so he decided to go and fish for some wonderful kia.

Maui set out to sea he paddled for many days,and days finally he found a good place the fish. He took out his hook made from whale bone and flung the hook into the sea. He waited and waited. He started reading the daily newspaper then he took a nap. 

An hour went by Maui herd his rope slipping he jumped up,hulled on the rope with all his might and finally his feast had topped resisting and came to the surface. Maui froze when he saw what he had brung up. It was a ginormous stingray but the minute it hit the surface it became land.

And that is how the North Island came to be.
