Maori | Story | Weave

L.I to make a raranga fish. I learnt how to make a weaved fish/ika. First we read a story. The book was called Ngake and Whaitaitai the two taniwha of wellington harbor. The book was about two Taniwhas by the name Whataitai and Ngake. Whaitaitai and Ngake got into a fight and Ngake made a big hole in the harbour because he wanted to escape. Then Whaitaitai tried to make another hole. Whaitaitai thought that he was big and strong like Ngake and he got stuck in the sand. Whaitaitai wriggled around to try to escape but he just sank into the sand. After a few years Whaitaitai would call help everyday but no one heard. One day a bunch of wakas floated across Whaitaitai and Whaitaitai would yell at them to help him. But after the people in the waka played a song/waita. Soon he came free.
