The star fishes




One day mother fish said to the little fishes:“keep close to the rock and don’t go to the sea”.

“Because Tataraimaka the giant is going to fish today with his big, black, magic net.” mother fish said.

The sea was quiet, the little fishes swam to the sea.

But the 7 little fishes played tag and forgot what their mother said.

Then all the 7 fishes were caught by Tataraimaka.
The fishes cried and shouted and made the sea salty with their tears.

God of light Tane felt sorry for the fishes, so he used his magic and floated the fishes to him.


Then the 7 fishes turned into Matariki.

They are called:
Toheta
Toheti
Tupuanuku
Ururangi
Waipuna-a-rangi
Tupu-a-rangi

One star is left no name because it is left for a child that feels lonely to put their name on.
