Hello fellow readers and welcome back. Today's blog post is about a story that we have been learning in Maori, Poutini: A Guardian Taniwha.
In the story, Waitaiki is having a bath in the lake and Poutini sneaks up behind Waitaiki and takes her away, and travelled around New Zealand but everywhere they stopped Poutini would leave a fire behind so when Waitaiki's huband arrived the fire was still warm but there were no flames. But the sad thing is that Poutini said "if he can not have her then on one can have her" and then he turned her to stone and she fell in to the river and became greenstone and ever time the snow on the muntains melt it knocks some greenstone down in to the river.
Three thing that I learned about the story is that know matter what happens someone will remember you, that some people like to stalk people and if you go missing someone will come looking for you know matter what.
