how Maui fished up the north Island

This week we have been reading a legend about Maui and how he fished up the NORTH ISLAND! With his magic hook from his ancestor Murirangawhenua. Maui’s brothers didn’t let him go fishing with him  because they said he was skinny. One day Maui hid himself in the canoe that his brother’s were going to fish in. the next day when Maui’s brothers where in the sea Maui jumped up from where he was hiding, Maui’s brothers were saying “ what are you doing here“, Maui said he hid in the boat because he wanted to fish with them. After that maui asked for bait but they didn’t give some bait so he just punched his nose and used the blood for bait, he put the blood on to his magic fish hook. When Maui threw his magic fish hook into the water then something pulled hard, The canoe was tilting, Maui’s brothers were holding tight to the side of the canoe, Maui was pulling with all the power inside of him. Maui finally pulled up the north Island, Maui told his brothers that he was going to get the rest of the people, when Maui was gone then his brothers started cutting when they were chopping they chopped mountains.
