In the beginning all that the sky had was no stars all that the sky was a blank piece of dark black. The villages were scared of going out fishing at night because of the Taniwha anyone who was anywhere near the part of where the Taniwha lived he would gobble them up.
As that happened there was a boy who lived on the other side of lake Taupo. His name is Tamarereti in the morning he awoke he felt hungry he looked in his kete it was empty.
As that happened there was a boy who lived on the other side of lake Taupo. His name is Tamarereti in the morning he awoke he felt hungry he looked in his kete it was empty.
So Tamarereti went out fishing he caught 3 large fish he put the fish in his kete. He thought that there was enough time for the wind to pick up and to have a sleep.He woke up many hours later to his surprise the wind picked up and blow his waka to the other side of Lake Taupo.
Tamarereti knows that night was falling but his stomach was still empty so Tamarereti made a fire,cooked his fish as he ate his kai out of the corner of his eye he saw some glistening pebbles.He thought that if he put the pebbles in his waka he would be safe so he put as many pebbles in his waka as the wind blow his waka to the middle of the lake (That’s where the Taniwha actually lives).As he went over the middle of the lake.
He threw the glistening pebbles in the sky.
In the morning Tamarereti woke up to have visitor Ranginui the god of the sky.Tamarereti thought that Ranginui was going to say ‘’you ruined my black sky’’.But Ranginui did not he said "Tena koe Tamarereti. You have made the world more safe and you have made the sky more beautiful’’.
The end.
