Last week in writing we had to retell a story about how the south island was made. What I found hard was trying to retell the story but what I found easy was writing the story here is my story.
One upone a time their was a man called Rangi the sky father, him and his wife had 4 kids the oldest
kids name is Aoraki and the 3 youngests are Rakiora, rakiura and lastly rarakiora.
Rangi the sky father loved another women papatunuka the earth mother. He wanted to meet her and
marry her so rangi went to the earth to meet her. The sons followed him in their waka and salied off to
see what was so good about papatunuka.
The boys keep trying to find land but everwhere they went all they saw was water but then a storm
happened they throught it was their father telling them to go home so aoraki the oldest brother decied
to chant a karakia that would lifed them back to their home in the sky/hevans.
But then Aorkai said the karakia wrong which made the waka sink not float back to their home in the
sky there was no way of getting out of the storm so they all decied to climb on top of the tipped waka
and it was so cold their hair turned white and the turned to stone. They are now called the sourthern elps
and the waka is the south island.
