Matariki Myth

A long time ago in a village in New Zealand, there were seven villagers. They were good friends. One day when they were out fishing, they saw a taniwha and got scared so they  fled home and went to bed. The next day they woke up ready to go destroy the taniwha, so they grabbed their spears and ran to the lake to find the taniwha , after many hours they could not find the taniwha. Just when they were ready to give up the taniwha burst out of the water and let out a roar of anger. The seven villagers hurled their spears at the taniwha, but missed. Then the taniwha gets angry, and throws each of the spears into sky, one by one. The spear heads turn into what we know as the ‘Matariki’. The it ate the villagers and decided to fly up into the sky after the path of the spears, and burns up because of the gases in the atmosphere then it’s scales turn into what we know as  the milky way.

But i’ll tell you one thing it is hard getting up at 4am every morning just to find my breakfast!” he exclaimed. “OK” I replied unsure of what to  say “but tell me did you fall in hole with a ‘portal in it to get here?” I asked him “Yes” he cautiously replied “how did you get here?” “through that exact portal!” I said relieved “up in the hills?” I asked “Yes”. “OK lets try to find some locals.” A few hours later we arrived Anakat and the locals helped us find our way home.
