The staff and the sun

In a Maori village long ago Maui and his brothers we’re annoyed because the sun was going too fast and they couldn't do anything.

The sun just ran across the Maori village and the Maori people didn’t know what to do. Then Maui stepped up and said “I will slow down the sun with my brothers”. His brothers whispered to Maui “um…. we don’t want to go the sun will burn us”.  Maui replied in a strong voice to his brothers” you’re coming with me’. Later on they went down to see the ladies and asked them to make a unbreakable rope to catch the sun but the ladies said “You have to go down and get the special flax”. So Maui and his brothers went on an adventure and went  and passed a lot of troubles but that's a whole other story. They came back to the ladies with the flax. After a few days Maui and his brothers came back to the ladies Maui asked “ Do you have our net”. The ladies said “ yes”. The ladies gave Maui the net .

Before they went Maui grabbed his magical staff.  It was a long journey to the place where the sun rises but in the end they got there. Maui said “ Grab  one end of the net each”. They got some rocks and hid behind them and waited. Then the sun rose into the net and said “ Why am I stuck”? Maui said to the sun” you’re stuck because you’re going too fast and we can’t do anything." So you should slow down". The sun shouted at Maui “ I’ll never do that”.Maui replied”Well  I‘ll make you”.  Maui waved his magical staff and yelled slow down sun”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He let go of the net and the sun rose but the sun didn’t feel the same. So then on they had time to do whatever they want.
