Hey there Eva, those are some great facts you have identified from the story of Maui catching the giant fish. I especially like the third fact about how the mountains and valleys were formed, because I have always wondered why New Zealand has so many mountains. Maui's older brothers weren't too kind to him, but what do you think they thought of Maui after he pulled up the massive fish? One other fact I really like is how the South Island of New Zealand is the Waka and the North Island is the fish, because when you look at the North Island it is actually shaped like a fish!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great stories about Maui - which one is your favourite? Mine is definitely the Goddess of Fire!
Thanks, Billy
