Maui and the Sun by Mikayla and Barnaby

Once upon a time there lived a strong and smart man named Maui. He was always  complaining about how the sun went too fast across the sky. He couldn't get any work done. So he called his brothers. Chit chat chit chat. They had a plan. 

Their plan was to make flax ropes to throw over the sun, then they would pull as hard as they could and let go and voila the sun would go slower.

In the morning when the sun began to come out of it's hole, Maui and his brothers threw the flax ropes over the sun and pulled and pulled. Maui then beat the sun until it was black and blue with bruises!! 

Maui said, "Let go!" So now the battered and frightened sun moved slowly across the sky because he didn't want Maui to hurt him again. By Mikayla
