Fishes of the Night

A long time ago there were 7 fishes and their mother. Mother fish said to her 7 little fish “Don’t go out in the deep water.” ”Okay” said the little fish. The little fish forgot their mother’s warning because they were too busy playing tag. Tataraimaka caught the fishes but the god of light felt sorry for them so he hurled the big black net up to the sky and there the fishes turned into stars. These stars are now know as Matariki.
