Summer learning Journey Week 3 - day 4 - activity 2

Long ago in a the village of Maketu lived Mitai and his Seven Brothers. Mitai was the youngest out of his seven brothers. Mitai was raised by his korua from whom he had learnt much magic. Mitai could change form into a bird and he could hear his brothers conversations.He could fly in the sky to the god of wind coming back down through the rainbow. Mitai loved adventure. His brothers were the most handsome boys in the village, but they were not married because they would not settle for anyone else less beautiful than them self. Mitai and his brothers went on a hunt, but when they went onto the hill they heard beautiful singing, so they went to the top of the hill. Once they got there they saw seven beautiful woman singing and combing their hair. All the brothers fell in love but not Mitai. Mitai said that they were Fairy woman but the brothers did not care. The brothers and the fairy woman went back to the village to get married. When they got married the woman just stayed home just singing and combing their hair, the brothers were skinny and weak. Mitai spied on the fairy woman and caught that they got a bird form. So Mitai told them and the korua gave them a magic net to capture the woman. The wives were begging them but they have already been sent to the god of stars so in the sky there are seven stars which are the seven sisters.
