Māori Gods & Legends – Rona and the moon puzzle (300XL Pce)
This is the story of Rona, a woman who fights constantly with her husband. One night Rona storms out of her whare after the couple fight about who should fill their tahā (water containers). As Rona walks away, cursing her husband, Marama (the moon) watches and listens. When a cloud passes in front of the moon, Rona stumbles in the dark. She falls then curses the moon for her fall. Marama tells Rona, “Be careful what you say, lest you be made to pay”. But Rona only yells more insults at Marama, whos gets so angry and reaches down, grabs Rona and pulls her up into the sky. The next day Rona’s husband searches for his wife but cannot find her. He misses Rona and is sorry he treated her badly.
