Moehuri

Many dark clear nights ago Moehuri went out to sea and
went on his waka. He came from Hawaiki to Mangonui. The
stars were shining like diamonds in the night sky which led him
to land. Before very long, Moehuri did a karakia to the enormous
shark called Mangonui. The giant shark jumped out of the
water and guided him to Mangonui.

There were lots of children at the pa belonging to Moehuri.
They noisily played all over the mare. Eventually Moehuri
sunk his waka and it is a tapu plase. The giant shark lived by
the waka for many years.
