The sun moved quickly across the sky and there was not enough time to do anything during the day. |
Maui told his brothers about his plan to make the sun move more slowly. |
The brothers were not happy but cut flax which they then plaited to make ropes. |
They went on a long journey, travelling at night to find where the sun slept. |
They built a wall out of rocks to hide beind. |
When the sun rose, Maui leapt into the air with his jawbone. His brothers threw threw the ropes around the sun. |
Maui hit the sun with the jawbone over and over again. The brothers held on tightly to the ropes. |
The sun grew tired. |
Maui's brothers loosened the ropes. |
Now the sun, although sad, moves much more slowly across the sky. |
