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

Maui and his family and friends were very grumpy because the sun was too fast. The people had no time to do their chores. Maui said he was going to catch the sun. Maui told the villagers to collect flax and they made a big net to catch the sun.

After several days walking they found the cave where the sun lived. They pulled the net on top of the cave. The men hid and peeked out lots. Then the sun came out.

The sun rose up. Maui and his brothers pulled on the rope. The men pulled and pulled. Maui caught the sun and beat it up. The sun screeched and screamed until it promised that it would go slower.

Now the days are longer and everyone is happy again.
