A long time ago the sun moved too fast across the sky. People couldn‘t do their work.
Maui made a plan to slow the sun down. He asked his brothers to help. They picked some flax to make ropes. They prayed to make them magical. At night time they went to find the sun.
They new they were close the ground was dry. They made a shelter to wait for the sun to come up. They threw the magic ropes out on the sun. Maui beat the sun. They let him go when the sun was tired and weak. The sun moved slow across the sky.
