In our writing class, we have been writing a legend of how the south island was made
Here is my writing :
Raki was the son of Maku, an Mahoranui-a-tea and sometimes referred to as the sky father. He married Pokoharua-te-po. Aoraki was the maitamua of this marriage. He had brothers called Rakiroa, Rakirua and Rarakiroa.
Before Raki descended from the heavens to come together with his second wife, Papatuanuku, his children, who were naturally troubled that he was going to take another wife.
They travelled on their journey in Te Waka o Aoraki. This waka came down came down from the sky. They sailed on the south west and their magnificent Te Waka Aoraki.
Aoraki and his brothers panicked and this is why they didn´t perform the karakia properly, their hair turned into white, when they were hugging, they turned to stone cause they were cold, and because they were scared, then turned into the Southern Alps, and the waka became the south island.
