Once upon a time there were seven brothers, the 

 youngest was Tui. all of the other brothers were the best                          
looking men in the whole village. One day they all went 

hunting when they heard a beautiful sound so they 

decided to follow it. They followed the bush, rivers and up 

a hill. There stood the most beautiful women they had ever 
        
seen! Tui said they were fairy women. His brothers weren't 
         
listening and decided to take them back to the village and 
                                                                  
make them their wifes. Time passed and through that time 
                                                                 
the brothers always got seafood and only eat that for 

breakfast, lunch and dinner. One day one of the brothers 

came back from fishing and his wife was not there. 

when she came back he asked her where she had been. .

Then his wife burst into flames and than she whispered  

To him there plane to starve there brothers to death 

their plan was to starve his brothers to death. That night  

six fantails were sitting on a tree outside Tui’s hut then a 

7th came out of one of the brothers huts tui creeped up to 

try and listen to there plan then he gathered all of his 

brothers and told them there plan most of the brothers

Somewhere far away from anywhere. That night they got a 

Huge net and when all of there came out they caught them
