How Maui Captured The Sun

How Maui Captured The Sun

One day there was a boy called Maui and his brothers were grumpy at the sun Te Ra because he went through the day too fast.They didn't get enough time to go fishing and do their chores.So they planned an attack on the sun.They went to get flax to make some flax ropes and nets.Next day they walked to the sun.They built some barriers to hide.The sun came up and Maui said “fire the ropes!,” and they did.They pulled and pulled the sun to Maui. He hit the sun to make him hurt. Finally the sun said “stop! stop!,”.Maui said 

“only if you stop zooming through the day,” 

“ok,”said the sun then they let him go. Now the sun goes slowly across the sky.
