one day years ago, there were two brothers named Tamapahore & Tamapahure. they were really competitive towards each other
one day they decided to have a kite flying contest.
tamapahore's kite went higher so Tamapahure caused his cord to foul that of his brother and break it
the kite drifted to hauraki hence why it is called te manu i rewa a Tamapahore
This was a valued kite, so off Tamapahore went with his family to where his kite had drifted. At last he was guided to Pukekotaretare, near Mercury Bay, and there was found the kite.
