Why earthquakes happen

Walt write legends

I enjoyed thinking what to come up with.

The challenging bit was thinking of what characters to do.

Why earthquakes happen


Long ago maori people were minding their own business. Then someone looked up at the volcano and he screamed “the volcano is sizzling”! Everyone screamed” ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the volcano is sizzling.
The gods were arguing “You set that volcano off”” no you set it off”! Then the leader yelled Stop arguing. No one set it off it just happened! The leader and the lava god went down to the volcano. They made the lava go down to the centre of the earth. Then they heard laughing it was the earth.
The lava god said “ The lava must be tickling him”. Then he started shaking. “Woooooah” said the leader. What’s happening”? The lava god said “The earth's shaking because it’s getting tickled. The leader said” we should call it a earthquake.

So then on the lava god goes down to push the lava down to the centre of the earth he doesn’t always get there quick enough but when he pushes it to the centre of the earth  earthquakes happen but it doesn’t always happen.
The end
