THE STORY OF MATARIKI

Once long ago there were seven sisters making kites.The first sister made a green kite from the harakeke bush.The second sister made an orange kite from the raupo bush. The third sister made a pink kite from the manuka bush. The fourth sister made a red kite from the puriri tree. The fifth sister made a blue kite from the colour of the river. The sixth sister made a white kite from the toetoe bush. The seventh sister who is the smallest sister made a colourful kite. Her name was Matariki.

Then the 7 sisters with the little sister went and got the coats to go outside to fly their kite. So they went up the hill but there was no wind. So they went to sleep and when they were sleeping the kite flew away. Little matariki woke up and she said “Where is my kite?” and then the other sisters woke and said “Where is our kite?” and Matariki was brainy because she looked up and she saw her kite up in the sky.So the 7 sister looked up when Matariki was look.
