Long, long ago, there lived seven
mermen and seven mermaids.
The seven mermen loved to fish,
but only one liked to garden. His name was Matariki. He was used as a slave for
the other six.
He was even used as a shield when
the dangerous fish were out.
One day, the seven mermaids were
out in their little clam house. The seven mermen were wondering what the loving
singing was. They set off in the deep blue sea to see what it was.
It was seven mermaids brushing
their golden brown hair. They all fell in love, but Matariki . He was
warning them it was a dangerous fish's babies but they were too busy
running back home and making them a house to live in.
The six brothers weren't able to
fish because they were too busy staring at their wives.
One day, they decided to stop and
go fishing. Jessica, the one who did not get picked to live with one of
the men, grabbed Matariki and threw him up into the sky and he smashed into
seven pieces and became seven stars. You will see it in late May and early
June. It is Matariki.
