Tawhirima tea din’t want to separa te their parents, he vowed to
rage war on anyone who tried to separa te his pa rents. First
Tuma tauenga tried to kill his parents but he couldn’t. Nex t
Tangaroa tried to separa te them but he failed. Haumia Tiketike
tried, but he couldn’t. Rongoma tane tried but he had littl e success.
Tanemahuta slowly walked towards them and lay down on his
mother and put his feet on hi s father. Rangi slowly rose up above
Papa then with one final thrust, Rangi soa red, up and up and up.
Tawhirima tea roared around blowing down trees, plants and making
waves arch and crash! Luckily Papa came to the rescue, she
sna tched her son’s and kept them inside her. Only Tuma tauenga ca me out and walked about and his footsteps
made huge c rashesd . Meanwhile Rangi was crying and Tanemahuta was worried tha t soon all the land would be
covered by the sea, so he turned his mother over. Tanemahuta looked up a t hi s father and thought how sad he
looked so he put the sun on Rangi’s back and the moon on his f ront, he puts stars on hi m also. This was how the
world was created . Hattie
Once there was a sky fa ther gazing down on an earth mother.
They were together with their children in the middle, there was
no light. Their c hildren wanted to separa te their parents
because i t was too tight for them. Their children’s na mes were,
Tangaroa, God of sea, Tanema huta, God of the forest,
Rongoma tane, God of uncultiva ted foods, Tuma tauenga, God of
war, Tawhirima tea, God of wind. God of war said “we must kill
our mother and fa ther” God of forest did not agree, he said “we
must separa te our mother and fa ther” Everybody tried but they
all failed. The god of wind, he did not want hi s parents to be
separa ted. The God of the forest tried, he succeeded. Then he
made the world and tha t i s why we are living here on this planet today and tha t is how earth, was made. Luci
Long, long ago there was a happy couple, their na mes were,
Papatuanuku and Ranginui. They had lots of c hildren called

They were ti red tha t they couldn’t see light and sun so they ca me
together to separa te their parents. All of them failed but
Tanemahuta tried, he placed his feet on his Dad and his back on
his Mum. His Dad got raised up high above. As Tanemahuta
pushed them apart, they were shrieking and crying, and tha t was
how earth was crea ted. Luis
