→One morning Maui told his brothers let’s go fishing they hopped into their waka when they were in the water the Sun jumped into bed. It would come up then go back to bed. Maui didn’t like the Sun rising up then down very fast. Maui said the Sun was very lazy. By the time it hopped into bed Maui and his brothers went to a type of plant it was called flex it was very strong. They used the flex to make a net to catch the Sun and slow it down. When the Sun came up Maui and his brothers captured the Sun then Maui hit the Sun many times with his powerful hook. The Sun told Maui he didn’t do anything but Maui said slow down Sun because he wanted more time so he could go fishing. The Sun promised he would slow down so Maui could have more time to fish. The Sun raised up then Maui and his brothers could fish.
