- Maui always dreamt of fishing with his elder brothers.
- He recited an old karakia to himself and his brothers catch fish for them.
- Since that day Maui's people believed that Maui was the best fisherman ever.
Stories that I have heard about Maui:
- How he slowed the sun.
- How he pulled up islands.
- How he stole fire from Mahuika the goddess of fire.
