Long ago, the Demigod Maui was born.His parents were very important for his dad held the heavens and his mother had guarded the path to the Netherworld. Maui the Demigod was the smallest in his family. Unlike his skilled brothers, Maui wasn't a good fisherman. Maui's brothers would ridicule [laugh at or make fun of] him for his bad success. Maui would take revenge over his brothers by positioning the boat so that when his brothers caught a fish, he would distract them and pull his line across theirs to steal their fish. In a while, his brothers were aware of how Maui had ended up with their fish and so, they refused to take him fishing with them anymore. Maui went to his mother who advised/sent him to see his father. There, his father gave him a magic hook called Manaiakalani and this hook fastened to the heavens. This hook could also raise the Hawaiian Islands[ creating the Hawaiian Islands] and it could even raise the old seas together. After Maui recieved the magic hook, he conviced his brothers to take him fishing with them or else, they would not catch any fish. So, they allowed him to come fishing with them. They paddled far out in their canoe and felt disappointed because they only caught sharks. His brothers criticized [to blame or to take fault of] Maui for them not being able to catch any fish. Next, Maui threw his magic hook into the ocean and he chanted a magical spell to catch the Great Fish. Boom! Crashed the rough waves." My brothers, keep on paddling and never look back! "shouted Maui. All of a sudden, the peaks of islands arose. In suspition one of his brothers looked back. Suddenly, the fishing line began to shake and the line of the magic hook snapped off. Because of his longing [suspicious] brother, the magic hook that held the heavens is lost beneath the sea forever. Maui shouted and yelled at his brothers for looking back. Now, all of Maui's great efforts to raise a large continent are forever wasted and all that he had created was a few islands to show all of his great efforts. That is how Maui and the surrounding islands have came to be [formed].
