The Legend of the North Island of New Zealand - By Yesha
Conforming to the Maori Mythology, the Aotearoa New Zealand was formed by a powerful demigod called " Maui ". One day, he went out in the middle of the ocean to fish, he used his magical fish hook. It was made out of his grandma's jaw bone. At the sea, Maui threw his Magical fish hook, he waited for a few minutes. Suddenly, the boat was shaking and Maui knew he caught a fish, so he pulled his hook really hard to get the fish. The fish was so heavy that his hook nearly broke. But he caught it. The fish was actually the North Island of New Zealand. In hunt of the legend of the North Island of New Zealand is sometimes offered to as Te Ika a Māui and ‘Māui’s fish’ and the South Island of New Zealand is sometimes offered to as Te Waka a Māui and ‘Māui’s canoe’.
