Good work! Those are three good facts. What did he make his materials out of? I'm pretty sure that Maui wouldn't have had access to the sorts of fishing supplies we have today!
Have you read any other stories about Maui? There's a really good one about Maui and the sun. If you would like to read it, here is the link: http://eng.mataurangamaori.tki.org.nz/Support-materials/Te-Reo-Maori/Maori-Myths-Legends-and-Contemporary-Stories/How-Maui-slowed-the-sun

Thanks very much for completing this activity, and for giving us three facts that you've learnt about Maui. I like how you've summarised your three facts and haven't just copied what you've read, well done Delina.
He certainly did show his brother's that he knows how to fish, didn't he? Pulling up Te Ika a Maui—the North Island of New Zealand—was probably the most dramatically impressive way to show someone that you know how to fish!
I also like how you've mentioned that Maui did a karakia to make the fish come to his waka; although this isn't something mentioned in the story that we provided you with, it is cultural practice for Māori to say a small karakia to Tangaroa (the God of the Sea) to give thanks for kaimoana. Are there any other traditional cultural practices that you know about?
