Maui and the Sun

A long time ago, Maui thought that the Sun went too fast. In New Zealand, Maui and his brothers had no time to fish amd no time to hunt.
Maui and his big brothers tried to catch the Sun using flax ropes. The Sun said, "Stop!"
The brothers beat the hot Sun.
The angry Sun said, "Stop!" So then the Sun went slowly and Maui had time to fish and hunt.

The Hare and Tortoise

I am retelling the fable of the hare and the tortoise.

The hare said to the tortoise, "You are slow, so you will lose the race".
The hare went to sleep because he was tired and because he thought that he was faster than the tortoise.
Tortoise won the race because he kept going.
