☀️I Te Timatanga -The Beginning of Time☀️

Hi guys! This is my story. It is called I Te Timatanga, which translates to the beginning of time.

This is the Maori story of how everything came to be.

The hard part was spelling the name correctly and the easiest was thinking of the story!

I hope you enjoy!

“I say we kill them! We live a happy life without them!” my brother Tūmatauenga shouted. I could my blood boil as he raved on and us killing them and murdering. But I am calm, so I simply said: “It is not our parents’ fault. They can’t help falling in love. We have a good life. Let’s be grateful for it!”

I think I convinced Tāne, my older brother. 

“Tawhirimatea’s right. We cannot harm them,” he said. 

“ Ok, maybe that was a bit too much. “

Their argument went on and on and on, until the final came up with a decision; to pull themes aparts. They  were very confident about this matter. My other brothers, Rongo and Haumea, were against it like me. I felt desperate, and I never called them by their first names, but desperate times call for desperate measures. “Ranginui, the sky father, deserves to be with his wife, Papatuanuku, mother of the earth!” I screamed.

Everyone went silent.

“No, we are pushing them apart and that’s that!” Tu said.

“Yeah, I say we push them!” said Tangaroa.

“No!” I said.

“Yes!” Tangaroa said.

“No!”

“Yes!”

“No!”

“Yes!” Tangaroa said. “We are!”

I was very sad, but I knew I couldn't make a fight.
