I have already posted my other one yesterday so if you want can you please go and look at that one after you have finished reading this one please. If you can please comment what I need to work on or something I have done well.

                                The creation of the south island.  

Once upon a time there was a sky father named Rangi. Rangi was married to Pokohara-te-Po and they have 4 boys. Aoraki is the oldest son, he has 3 brothers named Rakiroa, Rakirua, Rarakiroa. Pokhara-te-Po was heartbroken when she find out that Rangi loved another women(Papatuanuku-earth mother)

Aoraki and his brothers decided to see why their father wanted to know why their father liked Papatuanuku more than their mother Pokohara-te-Po. They took their waka that came from the sky and sailed across the sea to find Papatuanuku. When they find her they did not like her at all but they decide to find more land. 

There was a storm Aoraki and the brothers thought their father Rangi sent the storm because he was the sky father so he could do that. Aoraki had to say a karakia to make the waka raise so that they wear safe. But Aoraki said the karakia wrong and the waka sank. 

The waka fliped over and didn't go on falt it was on a angle. The brothers climbed onto the side of the waka and huddled together. They wear so cold their hair was going white and the brothers and the waka turned to stone. The brothers are now the seven alpes and the waka is the south island. Aoraki is mount cook in the southern alps.
