How Miui slowed down the sun


According to Maori legend. in ancien! times. the !-un moved quick ly across the sky. People
were very unhappy because the days were too shan and they couldn '{ get all their work
done.
One day. a young Maori fisherman called Mau; decided he wanted to make
the sun travel more slowly. He and his brothers made some ropes oul
of flax. Then they travelled lowards the east to where the sun rises.
After J 2 days. they arrived at the edge of a huge. red-hot pit where the
sun was sleeping. They hid behind some rocks. When the sun began to
risc, the)' threw their ropes over him. "Aaaarrrhhh!" the sun roared in
anger. "What are you doingT "From now on you will travel slowly
across the sky!" Mwi ordered the sun. The sun refused and tried to
get free. Bul Maui wou ldn 't let him go. "What aboul just some of the
time?" said sun. MfuJi thought. "OK Sun. If you promise 10 go
slowly for six months of the year, I will release you:' Then sun
promised ". and that's the slory of why we have longer days in summer.

1 Maui and his brothers were fishermen.


2 Maui put the ropes on the sun while the sun was asleep.
3 Maui was angry when the sun refused to travel slowly.
