Maui and the Sun

Once upon a time there lived a great warrior named Maui, who  lived with his brothers. One moonless night  the sun had gone down and Maui could not see his food to eat. "Oh that sun, he goes too fast. Far too fast." Maui called his brothers. They came to him out of the darkness. ''That sun goes too fast,''said Maui. ''He gets up and races across the sky." "Yes" said his brothers. "I know, let's catch him" said Maui. His brothers laughed at him. "We can't catch the sun", said his brothers. Yes. We can. We will make flax ropes. When the ropes were ready, Maui and his brothers set off to find the hole where the sun came out from. Maui told his brothers to put the ropes across the hole. When the boiling sun came out of the deep hole, over the seas and hills, Maui called "Now!" His brothers pulled at the ropes with all their might and the sun tried to burn the ropes but could not get free. Maui began to beat him up then he called his brothers to stop. They let go of the ropes and the sun slowly flew away. By Emerson.
