I have read book called The Seven Stars Of Matariki. This book links to the Sons of Ma’afu because it includes stars. The book is about a boy named Mitai and he lives with his seven handsome brothers. He watches his brothers become bewitched by seven beautiful women, and under their spell, the brothers no longer eat, look after themselves, work in their gardens or hunt.

It was named by 16th-century European explorers, who recognised the shape of a cross. The stars are visible in the southern hemisphere sky Its position near the South Celestial Pole means the Southern Cross is almost always visible from anywhere in Australia The cross changes position in the sky as the earth rotates. ‘ Photo by Collins Flags/ CC by 2.0	Something that has happened to me is that once I threw a rock and accidently broke the back window of our car.

Today I have created this after reading a book called The Sons of Ma'afu. In the story there are two brothers who keep on getting in trouble. But one day they were using there dad as a target to throw there spear. Then the villagers had enough of the boys nonsense so they wanted to send them to get water from Atavahea. Then the next day the boys got there coconut shells and headed to Atavahea. When they got in the water a huge bird jumped up to get them. But the boys fought hard and got the water. They went back to the village and the people were still not happy with them. Then this time they sent them to Muihatafa to get water from the bottom of the pool. Muihatafa is a vicious trigger fish.
