- (Introduction)In a land where little seeked more, there was a boy called Maui. He lived with his Mother and father. Maui’s father was the chief, they were struggling to find food, nor did they have enough water. Maui decided, that it was enough and he will find more food.
- (Problem) There village kept on struggling, Maui could not believe how his village could live like this. If only there were something that they can exchange for food. Maui’s father wanted to talk to him, his father looked ill, sick and more. Maui’s father lay down there on the bed with Maui holding his hand. “Come closer, listen to me” said father. “You will become chief, help this village as how I failed” said Maui’s father. “I will” said Maui. Before his father closed his eyes, he gave Maui his cloak.
- (Solution)One night Maui went fishing, he did not catch any fish, or enough fish for the village. Maui thought that he failed his father, he promised him but he could not give up. He looked up at the stars, he did not think much at first. Until he saw it led somewhere. He noticed because all the stars were all in a straight line. As you know stars do not do that all! Maui was keen to know where it was going, so he started his journey. He took one of the kanoes and sailed across the sea. He followed the stars and had to deal with extreme weather and starvation. When several nights passed, the trail of the stars had stopped it was a cave. The cave was quite dim and dark. In the cave was two big red diamonds. There was a statue that was holding the diamond, it was a lady, she looked like she was from Egypt. On one of the fingertips it was a warning, which the writing said, one is worthy, only one can hold these diamonds. Maui did not think much as he normally does not. He picked up the two diamonds and the cave rumbled, Maui quickly ran out of the cave and sailed back home.
- (Conclusion)He told his mother where he has been. Maui showed his mother the two diamonds. The mother took it to the jewelry store next door for exchange for over 1 million dollars. Maui and the mother found out the two diamonds were super rare. There was only one that somebody has ever seen so they got 1 million dollars per diamond. They had more than enough money to pay for the whole village, they now had something to eat and drink. They lived in peace at last with a smile on their face!
