One day there was a anxious man named Mitai. He had six brothers that loved adventures as much as they loved Mitai. One night Mitai and his six brothers were relaxing on a chair outside looking at the stars until Mitai saw Waiti, Waita, Waipuna Rangi, Tapuaenuku, Tuarangi, Ururangi, and Matariki.The brothers were so happy they danced the night away. Suddenly Ururangi fell from the sky with terrible fear. Mitai noticed that there was one star missing, so he ran straight to the garden, grabbed Ururangi and said, “are u alright?” then ururangi said “no”. The next morning Mitai woke up and Ururangi was gone. Mitai went searching everywhere and then Ururangi popped out and gave Mitai a fright. One week later Matariki came down and found Ururangi. Everyone was so happy but Mitai was too sad to say goodbye. His six brothers woke up and said “hi Ururangi what are you doing”? Ururangi said, “I fell from the sky but, Matariki here to save me”. So they all said goodbye to each other and then Mittai threw them back in the sky. The men lived happily ever after and each Maori New Year the stars still shine bright in the sky.

I enjoyed writing and planning my story. If I made it myself I would add more information. I found it hard writing some maori words. Have you ever seen the matariki stars?
