Maui's Fish

There once lived a family of five mischief makers, all brothers. The four younger brothers were very jealous of their big brother, Maui and so one night when they thought that maui was asleep  they whispered and decided to go fishing without him early in the morning. But Maui had fake slept and heard them talking. He then snuck out and hid in the bottom of the canoe. In the morning the four brothers tiptoed out with all their fishing gear. They paddled out laughing at the thought of their cunning plan. When they reached the area where they wanted to fish Maui emerged from his hiding place not with any Maui but a very wise and determined Maui. He commanded them to paddle and the brothers didn’t say a word for Maui had magical powers. Maui appeared quite often on their secret outings but they never muttered a word except for a sigh.Would they ever get away with any of their plans? Maui paddled on and on and soon the four brothers retired from paddling but Maui did not stir a muscle except for those that were paddling.His four brothers were grumpy and for revenge they simply refused to give him any bait. He then struck his own nose for blood. The brothers watched as he got up and started whirling the magic jawbone around his head. The jawbone slipped underneath the waves and little did he know that his hook had jammed itself in the arm of a wooden statue rooted deep in the back of a huge fish. At that moment he knew he had caught something. He strained, yanked and fought with determination surging through his veins. Whispering his karakia he heaved the huge fish up. He managed to puff out to his brothers “Don’t you touch him. He’s very special. I must get my hook.” But as soon as Maui was out of sight they started to smack the poor fish who was rising and falling in pain just like a bucking horse. When Maui returned he saw his great fish cut up from his brothers because they were angry . If you look closely our north island is actually this huge stingray.
