Long ago on the island of Maui. There was a boy named Maui. His mother would stay inside and pound kapa, but the sun went too fast, so Maui's mother didn’t have enough time in day to pound kapa. The next day Maui climbed the hill were the sun slept. When the sun awoke the next day Maui lassoed him with his sister's hair. Maui beat all the suns strong legs and only his weak legs were left. Maui freed the sun and went down the hill. Now the sun moves across the sky slower and Maui's mother had more time to beat kapa.
