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. |
