what is matariki?

The sun was seriously wounded and tired
of being pulled by the ropes.
He felt miserable and hid away
in his cave for several days.
The days grew colder and
colder and winter was born.
Plants could not grow and
people
were sick of the cold.
Maui felt guilty because people were
raged and wanted the sun to rise back.
Matariki was a cousin of the Sun.
Matariki  decided to go and bring
the Sun back. So Matariki and
her seven sisters went to
go and meet up with the Sun.
They sang a mysterious soothing
healing song until the Sun was
brightened and warm again.
Sun felt better and soon got healed.
He came out of his cave and gave this
world warmth and light. This is how the
Matariki Stars brought the sun back.
So every April when the seven sisters
disappear from the sky we know they
have gone to rescue the Sun.
They would be back early June and
bring the warmth of the sun to the
Earth.
