Rona



Once upon a time there was a family with two tamariki.Rona was the mother and she
was beautiful and very strong and angry. Dad was a fisherman and he could have
enough fish for the family. Rona was beautiful and her eyes were like inside a paua shell.  
Her hair is very long and her teeth is like diamonds. Rona was very bossy to her husband.
She even said she was a better fisherman than her husband (but he was a better fisher man
than her). One night Rona husband went fishing. He said to her “you are not good at fishing
you have to stay home and make the hangi.”  She was very angry because she didn't want to
make the hangi.


First she went to get the fire wood then she stacked it all on rocks.Later that night but
when she heard her husband come back because he was singing.  She ran out of water.
Rona skipped across to the lake to carefully fill her up her bottle with water. The moon went
behind the clouds and Rona could not see.  She hurt herself and she yelled at the moon.
The moon tightly lifted her up by her waist up to the sky.

Rona got stuck in the moon forever.
