One night Maui thought what could happen if all fires went out .While everyone was sleeping Maui the trickster poured heaps of water on all or the fires In the pa. In the morning the people from the pa were furious calling Maui “you stupid IDIOT, do you know what you have done,you now have to go to the volcano and get more fire” Said the Civilization in the Pa. Every one from the pa refused to go with Maui. Only his friends wanted to go with him kiwi,piwakawaka, Pukeko, Tui, and Huia. .It was a long way to the volcano and when he arrived at the smoking mountain Maui saw small flames. He told the birds to wait for him as he entered the volcano by himself. Maui said can i have a flame please Aunty said be carefull with this one.On the way home he dropped the flame in the stream,and it went out.When he went back to his aunty he said to her can i please have a flame No more said his aunty Mahuika. She got so angry at him.When She had 1 flame she got so angry that she threw her latest flame at the kaikomako tree.
Maui went to snap and crack 2 little branches of the top of kaikomako tree. When he got back he showed them how to make a flame by rubbing two stricks together.By doing this thay will never go without a flame again.
