How Maui slowed the sun.

Long Ago the sun, began to move quickly across the sky. The days became too short to do all the things that had to be done. People could not do much about it, but Maui thought he would try.

He gathered his four brothers and said to them, "Let us catch the Sun and make it move more slowly. "It will burn us up. It is impossible" they said, "but I have a plan" said Maui. "If we make strong ropes of flax we can snare the sun where it rises." The brothers still were not very happy, but they helped Maui to cut the flax. They plated flatten ones, squared ones and round ropes. Maui chanted a karakia as they worked to give the ropes the power, they would need the power to hold the mighty sun.

At last the ropes were ready, they set off to where the sun rose. They only traveled during the long nights as they did not want it to be known they were coming. It was many miles to the home of the sun. As the bush gave way to shriveled scrub and the ground grew warm underfoot, they knew that they were nearly there. 

Soon they reached the great pit from which the sun would rise. "Help me build a wall of earth to hide behind", said Maui. "Hurry my brothers. for the sun is beginning to awake." The five quickly piled up enough clay to conceal themselves. They crouched behind it as the ground began to tremble and shake. "Do not throw your ropes until I say so", hissed Maui, "and when we have caught it, do not let go!" 

First the fiery flames reared above the wall, but Maui kept as still as a statue. Then came the great whirling eyes of the sun and Maui muttered 'here' (a charm), but when the white hot teeth came into view, Maui sprang to his feet. "Now my brothers!" The magic ropes snaked through the air. They tied the sun's fiery hair and looped around its huge body. Maui leapt on to the wall, raised the magic jawbone of his grandfather and smashed it down with all his strength on to the head of the sun. 

The sun shrieked in agony but Maui kept raining blows on its flaming face. " You will kill Tama-nui-te-Ra!", screamed the sun. "No", said Maui, "I will not kill you, but I will make you move more slowly!" When the sun was weak and tired, Maui told his brothers to loosen the ropes. The sun drifted slowly into the air and began to creep across the sky. Now that is why the days are long enough, and if you look hard, you can sometimes see the magic ropes that bind the sun to earth.

Today I did a retail about how Maui slowed the sun. I thought this story was bold and astonishing to read about. I loved this story and I really thought I should post this on to my blog, it was super fun to write it. I really put my interesting words in there, so I didn't have to use boring words like then and after. It was super amazing. If I would to rate this book it would be a 10/10.

Rona and the moon.

Rona was a beautiful young lady but sometimes she could be mean and bossy to her husband and son. One day she sent her husband with her son to catch some fish for supper, they then left early in the morning. Rona's husband and son wouldn't come back until the next night.

Rona then fell asleep, but she slept in to long. Her husband was coming soon, she could hear him singing a mile a way. She then set the fire and hangi out. She then looked inside the gourd to see if there was any water left, there was none not even a drop. Rona had enough time to run to the pond and get some more water. She was running until the moon hid behind a cloud, Rona then tripped. 

She then cursed to the moon. Rona called him an old cooked head. The moon did not like that and then turned mad. He came down from the sky and grabbed Rona by the waist. Rona held on tight to the ngaio tree but the moon was to strong and pulled the tree out of its root. When her husband and son returned he could not see her there, until he could see a woman with a nagio tree in her hand up in the moon. 

On this day Rona can be seen on the full moon. When people get angry, they look to the moon and say "Remember Rona's mistake."
******************************************************
Today I read Rona and the moon. It was a cool story, and experienced me not to get angry that much. I love this story and then thought I should do a retail, maybe this story could tell you not to get angry that much and relax. When you do get angry look at the moon and remember Rona's mistake. If I would rate this book about Rona and the moon I would give it a 10/10.

Ana and her tricks

Ana was no girl she never liked putting on dresses, playing with doll's, saying manners or sitting nicely as a normal girl. Ana loved to play with the boys and try to bet her brother at farting contests. Ana had five in her family including her there were Tomeah Ana's twin, Kalesha the elder sister, Sean the elder brother, Julie the mum, Andrew the dad and finally Ana the middle child.

One day Ana did something wrong to put off her mother, Julie got up and said "That's it your going to Manners school, where all the girls get treated well." Ana packed everything she needed, just in case they tried to brain wash her with something. Kalesha said "Your being paranoid Ana it is just going to be a few days" "yea, but what happens if I never change and then they try to brain wash me" Ana replied "Oh well wish YOU good luck," As the bus came to get Ana, Julie and Tomeah waving good bye. Tomeah was almost teary so as her mother. Julie knew that it was only going to be a few days but not having any trouble around would be strange. 

Once the bus was nearly there Ana was sitting at the back worrying what was going to happen when she gets there. On the bus there were a few girls but not that many, when they have arrived Ana made sure that she was the last one out so she won't show anyone her face. Once she walked inside the Manners school palace Ana dropped her mouth the place was so amazing. The next day all the girls had to line up and stand in a Girly way, but Ana Stood up with her feet apart and her knees bent. Mrs Frank stood her straight unbent her knees and told her to put her shoulders up. The next activity was to balance a book on her head, at somehow Ana's book always fell down and never ever stand on for at least one second, Mrs Frank came to her again and said "Relax and walk slowly" so Ana did.

As the days went past Ana started to walk, greet and said nice complements. When Julie came to pick Ana up Ana said Hello and walked to the car like a normal girl, Julie was shocked as she didn't do anything wrong, Ana kept saying weird words while the drive back. Ana fell asleep during the ride, Julie was thinking wondering what could have happen. When Julie and Ana came back home, Tomeah ran out  with  excitement   and hugged Ana, Tomeah felt different hugging Ana. Tomeah asked Ana if she was alright, Ana replied suspiciously and said yea, yea I am alright.

Julie was angry of what they have done to there daughter, Ana was always agreeing to stuff and was always quiet.  Julie and Tomeah and to do something,  Tomeah had a plan she said "The only thing that Ana love is a good prank, but who to pull it on" "DAD" Julie replied. Tomeah brought a BIG fan, a huge towel and some glue. The next day Tomeah covered the front porch with glue, hid the fan behind the bush and hanged the towel up on the roof where she will be ready to drop it, She heard someone coming out she dropped the towel and turned in the fan, but it was her mother but outside the top window was standing Ana  she stared and couldn't stop laughing she ran down and said "OMG, I was just tricking yous I was just pretending to be a nice and wonderful girl HEHE" 

At the end of the day Julie grounded Ana for two weeks and Tomeah she had to clean the toilet when it smells or it is dirty, That is the end of  Ana and her tricks.
