In the Beggining

In the Beggining Ranginui the sky Father and papatuanuku the earth mother were together.It was very dark for papatuanuku's sons because they were between their parents.They were all squished in the dark.There names were Tu'Tanemahuta 'Tawhirimatea'Tangaroa'Haumia and Rongo.They didint like being squished in the darkness.Tu had an idea "Lets kill our parents"he said Tane said "No we should separate our parents"he said. Tangaroa and tu agreed with tane.Tawhirimatea,Haumia,and Rongo wanted things to be just like they were.Tu was pushing first he couldnt do it then tangaroa tried with all his strength then he couldnt then it was tanes turn he pushed his fathers chest but he couldnt then he had a good idea he used his legs and pushed his fathers chest the light was shining the brothers tane, tangaroa and tu were so happy. Ranginui was separated from papatuanuku.Tanemahuta clothed his mother with trees and ferns.Tane was the guardian of trees,tu was the guardian of people and war,Tangaroa became guardian of sea,Tawhirimatea became guardian of wind and storms,Haumia became guardian of wild food and rongo became guardian of food that we grow.Now when it is raining ranginui  is crying for papatuanuku.The End
