= =  __STATUES OF STONE__

A long time ago in waitaha there lived a Taniwha and his tribe. The taniwha was part tree and was very emotional and angered with ease.He was covered with ferns.His huge black eyes would stare with a beam of darkness.His karakia were lethal and his tongue a very frightful sight.His hands were like branches that could snatch and grab with mighty strength. His feet were like the roots of a tree that could dig into the ground immortal to the winds of tawhirimatea.

One day taniwha hears a whisper on the winds of tawhirimatea that another land are coming to attack the tapu aoteroa.this angers poor taniwha. taniwha slowly muttered to his angered self “how dare they think they may attack aoteroa.i will show them”.

The next day the still upset taniwha talks to tangoroa,and tells him to make his waves as high as the hills and tangoroa agrees.The next day taniwha whispers to the winds of tawhirimatea to make his winds as fast as a karearea in full pursuit .He sits and watches his disapear silently float up to tawhirimatea .The taniwha finally happy walks back to his tribe,his angers floating slowly away into the clouds high above in the sky.

When taniwha gets back to his tribe and tells them to be prepared for an attack and some very rough weather.Later that night in the deep blackness taniwha awakes his tribe and in a flash of darkness and bright streams of flame taniwha’s tribe stop at the shore.

The sight was amazing the waves as high as the mountains like they were about to crush every living thing in its path.The winds as fast a karearea like they were going lift everything of the face of the earth.Away in the distance on the dark black horizon,only shown by the light of the tribe’s torches was a huge ship. like a giant menacing bird about to kill anything in sight.it slowly came closer and closer until the huge ship crashed on the shore of Waitaha.

Taniwha and his tribe behind ran with a rush of great speed and mighty strength.slaughtering everything everything apart from five men and a lonely canoe.

Taniwha could see the fear in there eyes.It was like a huge blackness consuming there bodies and in front of them stood a very angry taniwha.It was like all the anger had come back into him and the rest of the worlds.Under his heavy breath he spoke an ancient karakia and in an instant he men were turned to solid stone.

Today they still stand there looking were there attack failed.you can go and see them for yourself down at the moraki boulders
