Story: Māui And The Secret Of Fire

Everyone’s favourite, mischievous demi god Māui visits his grandmother.

Māui the trickster wants to know what will happen if he puts out all the fires in his pa. When the people wake they are furious, so Māui must visit Mahuika, the goddess of fire.
“Mahuika raised her gnarled hands. At the tip of each finger burned a flame. She plucked one from her thumb and gave it to Maui.”
