Tieke

Dans cette légende traditionnelle, Māui demande à l'oiseau sellier de ralentir le soleil.

He pakiwaitara onamata tēnei mō Māui te tipua, ka tūtaki ki a Tīeke, he manu ui makihoi. Mā Tīeke pea e āwhina a Māui ki te hopu i a Tamanuiterā, kia pōturi ai tana rere whakawhiti i te ao. Heoi anō, he whakatoi kē tā te manu mahira rā. Ka aha a Māui?

He i-papa pāhekoheko tēnei mā ngā tamariki katoa ahakoa te pakeke. He mea hanga tēnei hei rauemi reo Māori mā Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga. He ara tohu kaiako kei http://tki.org.nz.

In this traditional Māori legend, Māui the demi-god asks the inquisitive saddleback bird to help him slow the great and powerful sun. However, the cheeky bird has other ideas. What will Māui do?
