The story of Matariki

Once upon a time there was a young boy named Matai. He lived in a village with his brothers and they were handsome but they did not have a wife yet because they were too into them self but one day Matai and his brothers heard sweet lovely voices coming from across the mountain so Matai’s brothers went up the mountain to see what was up there. When they got up they saw beautiful lovely wahine with beautiful silky golden hair. They were shining like glowing shimmering beautiful stars. Then Matai’s brothers fell in love with them immediately because they were so pretty to them . And after that matai’s brothers took them to there village to make the seven wahines their wife's . And after that Matai’s brothers started to look ill and starving because Matai’s brothers did nothing but take care of the seven wahines . And after he  had to do something because he was curious. Matai knew he had to do something about his brothers wife's so in the middle of the night Matai went outside and started to spy on his brothers wife's. And after that they finally made a move and turned into birds and flew away so matai followed them and found out that they were making a plan to make matai’s brothers starve to death. After that Matai told his brothers and talked some sense into them. after that Matai got a magical net and gave it to his brothers and they captured the wahine. The seven wahine begged them to let them go but the brothers refused to let them go and gave them to matai and matai took them to the god of the stars and they turned into Matariki stars so they could still show their beauty.

And that is one story of the Matariki stars.
