A long long time ago  Tamanuiterā  was moving across the sky to quickly all of the people in the village were sick of it but they knew they could do nothing about it. But one person still had hope and his name was Maui. Maui said to his brothers that he could catch Tamanuitera but his brothers just laughed at him.

But Maui still had hope in himself so he ordered his brothers to go get some harakeke. And so they went to go get some harakeke when they all came back they all got to work and I mean weaving a net. After they all finished weaving the net they all went out at night and waited for the sun to come out.

After a few minutes they all saw some light coming up from the sun so they all got ready and they all threw the net on the sun. Maui stood up and started hitting Tamanuitera with his magical jaw bone and started demanding to move more slowly in the sky so they could fish and do other things. Maui stopped hitting Tamanuitera because he finally said yes and maui and his brothers let him go.

Right after they let Tamanuitera go they all smiled with pride. And all the villagers were all happy to. They could fish and swim and do other stuff.
