Jennae: How Maui Slowed The Sun
Maui and his four brothers had no time to do their crops or to do their garden, or even when they have done their hard work they didn’t even have time to play. Maui wanted to do something about it because the sun was just going too fast. Maui and his four brothers made a plan to try and slow down the sun. Maui and his brothers decided to make magical platted ropes to capture the sun and make it slow down. Maui and his brothers had set off to find the sun at night, paddling for miles. When they got to where the sun was it was coming out of its hiding place. When it had arose more out of his hiding place Maui and his four brothers threw the ropes over the sun and pulled it down. Maui had caught the sun and slowed the sun down. The sun had agreed with Maui to slow down.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your retelling of this legend. Next time you retell a legend you could try to add a bit more detail by using some interesting descriptive language.
The artwork you created is beautiful. I like how you have the bright sun against a black background and that you glued on the plaited harakeke ropes. Ka pai tō mahi toi.
