This week in review by Omari

 This week it was cool because I got to decide what i can do next week.

 The thing I chose  was free time for 2 afternoons with 2 buddies.

I like this week because people are very nice to me.

-

The thing I didn't like about this week was being a little bit mean to other people.

I even didn't like getting in trouble when I was being a little bit bad.

I did not like being bad so i'm  going to be very good.

!

Today in the morning i got a duffy certificate.

Then I got to choose a duffy book from the library.

The book I chose was called goosebumps don't scream.

many years ago there lived a man named Maui and his brothers. Then one day Maui was eating his lunch.  Then Maui was sick of eating his lunch in ''the days are to short  and the nights are long'' said maui

So Maui  went to see his 4 brothers and  told them about his problem . The brothers agreed but the brothers said it's possible to catch  the sun. but maui had an idea.Maui told to help him plat some flax as they were making  the ropes they sang a chant .

then Maui and his brothers were finished so set off. They only travelled at night so the would not see the each step that Maui took mud went in the middle of his toes Maui  and his brothers made it to the hole that the sun   sun came out of . then they built a big wall

with the dirt and hid behind the wall and waited till hot flaming sun came out once the sun came out maui jumped beat up then said" now" the brothers thew the ropes and court the sun until  the sun was  full of pain then the sun shouted  "are you crazy you almost killed me" the sun tried to run but it was to sore to go fast "lets the ropes go" said maui.

Maui and the sun

A long time ago there lived a man called Maui and his brothers.Maui was thinking "that the Sun was too fast so we couldn't eat our food,hunt and fish" so he told his brothers that "we are going to slow the Sun down"The brothers said "we can't slow the Sun down" but Maui said "I have got a plan".

Maui and the brothers went to the hole of where the Sun lived,but first they made tight ropes with the flax to catch the Sun.After they finished making the ropes they headed off to slow the Sun down.when they got there the brothers were about to throw the ropes but Maui said "I will tell you went to throw the ropes",so they all waited until Maui said go.


When the sun rises up Maui said "go" so the brothers threw their ropes on the sun.The sun said "what are you guys doing can't you see i'm almost dead".Maui said "let go of the ropes my brothers" the brothers let go and the sun moved slowly so Maui and his brothers had time to hunt,fish and eat.

Maui and the sun

A long time ago there lived a man named Maui.Maui was upset that the sun was going to fast in fact the sun just got up and raced across the blue sky then went back down.One day Maui gathered his four brothers and told them about the sun.His brothers laughed we can't slow down the sun  it's impossible

not for long said Maui. The brothers still did not  agree but they still helped him but what if we

get burnt by the sun said the brothers we will pray and and mack strong ropes so that the ropes wouldn't burn too.later on the brothers set off at night so the sun would not see them coming.

The brothers and Maui  finally  got  to the hole where the sun rises.Maui said brothers help me build  a wall out of earth and once you have done that  get the flax rope and make sure it is ready for you to grab the sun.first the flaming heir went up then it came the big  eyes NOW Maui schemed  to the four brothers.all of the brothers grabbed the strong  ropes and pulled the big sun.

The big flaming sun said stop stop!!! can't you see that i'm almost  Dead! the brothers loosened the ropes on a count of three the four brother let go and from now on the sun just flows  by every day still wondering why Maui tried to kill him.

hay what should i do

But now if you look close enough at the sun you can see the flax rops on the big flaming sun.The End

But now if you look close enough  at the sun you can still see the  flax rops on the big flaming sun.The End

Maui and the sun

                     Maui and the sun

A long time ago there lived a man name Maui. The people in his village was so mad because they had not have enough time to eat, hunt or fish Maui said "That sun is going to fast." He called out his brothers and his brothers came out in the dark "we need to slow the sun" said Maui "That is impossible" said his brothers "no it is not only can make strong flax ropes then we can do it" said maui. As the brothers were making the fireproof flax ropes Maui went to go and get his grandfathers bone he cured and sharpen it once they were finish the ropes they set off to the suns bed hole.

As they were walking towards the suns hole they made a wall of clay so the sun won't see him Maui said "throw the flax ropes when I say ok" "yes" said his brothers. The ground was shaking then the sun rose "now" said Maui the brothers throw the flax ropes onto the suns flames maui beat up the poor sun the sun shouted "stop do you know that I am nearly dead"!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maui said let him go. The sun went by slowly. So that was my version of Maui and the sun.
