Maui and the sun


One day Maui was angry at the sun because it was too fast and it was always dark. Maui and his brother did not get time to fish and hunt. Maui said he was going to catch the sun.
Maui’s brothers laughed they were making ropes out of flax.
They went to hide in a hole. The sun came out and Maui said, “Now.” They threw the ropes at the sun and it was trapped. The sun fought the ropes and it was tired.
Maui let the sun go and it went slowly over the sky.
