Narrative of "How fire came to Samoa" rewritten by Tatiana

A long time ago, in Samoa on an island there lived a happy couple and also their son named Ti’iti’i. In Samoa fire was unknown and people ate their food raw. On the island also lived Mafuie the earthquake god. Everyday Ti’iti’is dad Talaga would always leave the house before sunrise and return at night. Ti’iti’i always asked his mum where his dad was.

So one evening before sunrise Ti’iti’i followed his dad. Talaga travelled on a long journey past the coast and he went up England. Finally he stopped in front of a huge rock. Ti’iti’i saw that his dad talking to the rock. Suddenly the rock divided into two pieces. Inside the rock, the dad was making food. Ti’iti’i kept on throwing food at his dad. Then his dad found out that it was Ti’iti’i and told him to run home because it was not safe to be there.

When Mafuie found out that Ti’iti’i was there she chased him but he was clever and used his wrestling skills. Then Ti’iti’i told Mafuie to give them some fire and she agreed. She told them to use dry wood. From that day onwards, Samoans has fire and enjoyed cooked food.

Narrative of "How fire came to Samoa" rewritten by Keren

A very long time ago, on an island in Samoa there lived a couple and their young son called Ti’i’ti. In those days they ate food raw.

On the island there also lived the earthquake god Mafuie. Her home was in the under ground world where fire was continually burning.

Every day before sunrise Ti’i’ti’s dad went over huge hills. Once Ti’i’ti followed him and they made it to the very rocky mountain. His father Talaga said “Divide. It is me Talaga here to work”. Then his naughty son ate a piece of crisp fruit and chucked a piece of fruit at his dad’s back. Mafuie chased after him and Ti’i’ti decided to use some wrestling moves on him and Ti’i’ti destroyed Mafuie.

Mafuie promised to give them fire. From that day onwards Samoans had fire and ate cooked food.

Narrative of Maui and Irawaru rewritten by Alexis

Once upon a time Maui’s little sister Hinauri got married to Irawaru. He was always annoying Maui.

Maui and Irawaru went fishing. Irawaru used barbed wire on his hook to fish. Maui said that there was something on the hook. They pulled out a fish and Maui realised that he was right. Maui caught the kingfish and Irawaru behaved as though he caught the fish.

Maui reshaped Irawaru into a dog by jumping on the waka that was on top of Irawaru. Hinauri got upset when she saw Irawaru and jumped into the ocean and married another man.
