MAUI AND THE BIG IKA (FISH).
One day long long ago there lived a demigod named
Maui. One morning Maui went and asked his other
brothers if he could go fishing with them. When his
brother heard this they said, “NO!! “You are to
small we might think you are a piece of bate and
throw you to the fish.”Now Maui was angry so he
made a plan to go fishing with his brothers. So in
the morning he carried out his plan. Before the sun
rose up from it's hidey hole Maui went and hid in the
fishing nets in his brothers boat where he could not
be seen.

Not long after Maui heard his brothers hop into the

place Maui let out from his hiding place an said,
“I am here.” “Hay what are you doing here”
said his brothers. Maui did not listen then he said

After that Maui said now it is my turn and he threw
his line into the water with the jawbone of his
ancestors as the hook. He threw the line out into
the water. Minutes later there was an enormous bite
and he pulled and pulled. When the fish came to the
surface Maui said that he would not be long and
that he was just getting his hook from the mouth of
the fish. His brothers did not listen. They went and
stabbed the fish and when Maui came back he found
a big lot of bumpy land which is now the North
Island of New Zealand.
