| A long, long time ago when Aotearoa was still young, there lived a clever demigod named Māui. Every night around the fire Māui’s brothers would complain about the sunlight. There were never enough hours to do their chores, to hunt and fish.
Māui knew he could solve their problem. “I, Māui, can tame the sun!” His brothers laughed at his announcement, “You cannot catch the sun Māui, he is too powerful. The heat and flames would burn you to death.” But Māui replied with authority, “You have seen me fish up our land, nothing is impossible. I will use the jaw bone of my ancestor, Muri-ranga-whenua, and with your help, we will slow the sun.” Māui instructed his brothers and the people of his whanau to collect as much harakeke as possible. Once the pile was big enough, Māui taught them how to weave ropes.
When they finally had enough ropes, Māui tied them together to make a gigantic net, big enough to catch the sun. He said his magical karakia over them, knowing again they would hold the strength of a thousand men.
