WE ARE LEARNING TO RETELL A STORY:
MAUI AND THE SUN

Maui and his brothers were upset because the days were too short. The fishermen were upset because they didn’t have long enough to fish. Maui wanted to catch the sun but his brothers said he would get burnt. Maui told the villagers to get some flax and weave a net.

Maui and the men walked for seven days to where the sun was and they hid. Maui felt the sun coming so he told his brothers to pull on the ropes. Maui started to beat the sun. “Stop, stop!” said the sun. Maui said “Only if you go slowly.” The sun promised to go slowly so Maui let him go.

Now everyone is happy because they have time to do their work.
