Today I will be telling you three facts that I didn't know about Maui and the story I'm reading is Maui and the giant fish.
Fact 1: Maui hid in the canoe to go fishing
Fact 2: When Maui heard the anchor drop he knew he was far from land so he revealed himself to his brothers and said "surprise".The brothers were shocked to see Maui on the canoe and they also asked him "what was he doing here".They were mad at Maui for him tricking them even though they were made Maui spoke up and said I have come to fish because Murirangawhenua said he will become a great fisherman when he grows up.
Fact 3:When Maui's brother where done fishing they all said to each other good job and they all said they were the best fishermen ever and when Maui got his fishing rod out they all laughed at Maui and said "Ha you would be lucky enough to get seated weed with that or driftwood"They still were laughing.Maui then asked his brothers if he could have some bait to put on his hook but that made his brothers laugh harder so instead of bait Maui punched his nose so it bled and he used his blood for his bait.he put his blood on the hook and put it in the water.He put his fishing rod into the ocean and it went deep into the ocean floor and his hook got instantly taken by something.Maui's line went suddenly taut.His brothers stopped laughing and held tightly on the side of the boats and speed fast across the ocean."CUT THE LINE" one of the brothers said while trying to sit down."Please, Maui cut the line they said".But Maui held tight to the line when they saw a giant fish and then Maui pulled the fish out of the water.The fish was bigger then the canoe and the brothers were shivering in fright
Hey Frank, my name is Billy and am from the Summer Learning Journey. I am looking forward to blogging with you and reading some of your fantastic thoughts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the first activity. I am astounded at how much you written - well done!
I think Maui sure is brave for not cutting the line and giving up on the fish. He sure showed a lot of courage and strength to continue pulling up the North Island.
Why do you think his brothers were so unkind to Maui? Do you think they would have treated him different after he caught the fish?
Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you soon Frank.
