Moehuri

Many dark, nights ago, there was a man called Moehuri. He was
a chief. He paddled from  Hawaiki to Mangonui in Ruakaramea
at night time. The night was bright because the stars were like
lights in the sky.  Meanwhile, Moehuri said a karakia then he
saw a shark. The shark took him to the place that he called
Mangonui, after the shark.

Over time, Moehuri had lots of children on the pa. They were
so close to the harbour you could smell the salt water.  However,
Moehuri decided to sink the waka at the bottom of the pa. It
was a tapu place where the shark lived.
