Maui and the Big Fish ABC
Along the water lived three brothers
Brothers of Maui
Caught a lot of fish they did indeed
Day after day they came home with lots of fish
Every time they were about go fishing Maui would ask if he could come.
Fighting and arguing the three brothers would always make up an excuse
Gee those brothers are so mean Maui thought
He decided to make up a plan.
In the morning he woke up early and hid in the waka
Just after they had gone out to sea and dropped their anchor…
“Kia ora my brothers” said Maui as he jumped out and showed himself
Let me show you how the pro fishes.
MAUI! “How did you get here?”
Never you mind.
Out Maui pulled his fishing line from his bag.
Please give me some bait!
Quickly the brothers shouted “NO!”
Rubbing and punching his own nose it started to bleed.
So he put the blood on his hook
Tossing his line out they started sinking to the bottom.
Usually they would catch lots and lots of fish but today Maui had a very big tug.
Very suddenly the boat started to rock.
Wait Maui cut your line!
Xcellent catch Maui said to him self but his brothers were doubtful.
Yahoo! Maui has just fished up the north island.
Zapping and slashing the brothers were at the fish.
As soon as Maui could he ran straight to his village and told his family.
Before Maui could stop his brothers they had made gullies and mountains.
Curiously this is how the story ended.
