Then, one evening, the young chief saw her graceful form and her light green eyes as he drank from his calabash
The young chief and the tribe tohunga
How can i keep Pania and the baby moremore with me always?
When they are asleep, place cooked food on their bodies and they will never return to the sea
The young chief gently took panias hand in his. He led her back to his whare in the pa. He softly closed the door behind them. In the warm darkness they lay as man and wife through the night.
Placing The Cooked Food
A year went by. Pania gave birth to a little hairless boy they called moremore.
The Transformation
The young chief went to the tribe tohunga and asked “how can i keep pania and the baby moremore with me always?”“It is simple,” said the tohunga.“When they are asleep, place cooked food on their bodies and they will never return to the sea.
The young chief did what the tohunga had told him, pania took the baby in her arms and walked to sea.
Baby Moremore was changed into a taniwha that took the form of a shark. Pania became a rock, where fishermen often came. In her left armpit the rawaru* could be caught. Her Right armpit was a good place to catch tamure. Between her thights, hapuku* swam in their hundreds.
