=Ei Maui and the giant fish= ==One early morning, Maui sat on an old stump of a tree, dreaming of the day he could fish with his older brothers. That night Maui decided that the next day his brothers go fishing, he will sneak in the canoe and wait till they are far from shore, and he did. He collected some flax and made a fishing line with it, and for the hook he used a jaw bone his ancestor gave him. That day when the canoe was far from shore Maui jumped up and gave his brothers a surprise. They got mad at him but they tried to forget he was there! Maui showed them a good fishing place, just in five minutes the canoe was full with fish. Maui decided that it was his turn to fish, but his brothers wouldn’t give him any bait, so Maui clenched his fist and punched his own nose! Fresh red blood was trickling down his face. He smeared it all over his hook, in 1 hour maui felt a tug on his line. ‘Pull’ Maui yelled. This fish was a huge one. As they returned Maui went to get every one, he told his brothers not to eat his fish, but while Maui was gone they chopped up Maui’s fish and took a piece each. Maui was shocked when he saw what they did. Now the mountains and hills of the North Island are pieces left of Maui’s Giant Fish.==
