How Maui Slowed the Sun - Freeze frames

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.
