One day many many many years ago there was a group of brothers that would go fishing and always return with a great amount of fish.Those brothers had one younger brother named Maui,that they would not allow to came with them because he would just get in the way and he is so skinny they might mistake him for bait...Maui was not happy that he couldn’t go fishing so he thought of a good Strategy.
That night Maui got some flax and weaved it together then added one of his great ancestors Jawbone for the hook.That same night Maui camouflaged himself in the bottom of the canoe and stayed there till morning and his brothers came out and started to push the waka into the waster one of the brothers said “one of you boys must not be helping as much because the waka is heavier than normal.
The brothers soon got the waka into the water and paddled out to sea to catch some fish.When Maui heard the anchor drop he knew that they were to far out to turn back now so he revealed himself.When he revealed himself the brothers said “This is the reason we haven’t caught any fish”Maui stood up strong and said “today you are going to catch more fish than you ever have just put your lines down when I start my karakia”.So Maui started his karakia and all his brothers put their lines down instantly fish started attacking their line and within a few minutes their boat had a sufficient amount of fish.When they said they had enough fish Maui said “ wait it is my turn to fish now”the brothers cracked up laughing and laughed even harder when he pulled out his line.Maui just ignored the laughter and asked for some bait and they laughed harder than they ever had before Maui punched himself in the nose and smothered blood all over the jawbone and threw it out…..Suddenly the waka started to move further and further out to sea and all Maui's brothers screamed “CUT THE HOOK MAUI CUT THE HOOK!!!!!!”
Maui continued to pull the line in and soon there was a huge fish on the waka the biggest fish Maui and his brothers had ever seen…..
Maui and his brother brought all the fish onto land and the whole tribe were say that Maui was the most culminating fisherman ever.Maui's brothers started cutting out huge pieces of the fish and started claiming pieces of the fish and the whole tribe realize how acquisitive and greedy Maui's brother were...
