Hinemoa+and+tutanekai

 Hinemoa And Tutanekai Hinemoa was lovely young woman and she had so many talents. She lived with her parents on the shores of Lake Rotorua. Her father was a chief. One day Hinemoa’s parents decided it was time for Hinemoa to have a husband so Hinemoa’s parents invited all the chiefs along just to let them know that they were choosing a trustworthy husband. Hinemoa noticed a young handsome man and she asked her servant who he was. Her servant said that is Tutanekai the young chief of Mokoia Island.Tutanekai saw Hinemoa looking at him so he smiled. She smiled back and her heart leapt with glamour. Tutanekai’s servant went over to Hinemoa and gave a note. The note said can you meet me down by the lake. I will play some music so you don’t get lost. When it was late and every one was gone and asleep Hinemoa snuck out and tried to look for a canoe. She found them all on shore and she said what a waste of time, they must have found out our plan. So she swam across the lake but then suddenly something grabbed hold of her leg. It was a sea monster. She said let go of me im worth nothing please then tears came down her eyes. The sea monster let go of her because he felt sorry for her and then when she heard the music stopped she panicked but she carried on then she got on land she hid in the bush. When Tutanekai’s servant went to get some water Hinemoa said give me your calabash. She pulled it and got it off Tutanekai’s servant. When Tutanekai’s servant got back Tutanekai’s said where is my calabash go get me it at once. Tutanekai’s servant went and got some more and Hinemoa stole it off him. Tutanekai said where’s my calabash. Tutanekai was so furious he went and got it himself. When he got it Hinemoa heard foot steps and tried to get the calabash off him. She pulled and pulled and Hinemoa fell out of the bushes. Tutanekai said what are you doing here I thought your father figured out our plan why you took so long and where are your clothes? I left them on the sand. From that day they were married.
