Matariki - the seven star fish
There was a mother fish and seven baby fish. One day the mother fish told the baby fish to play by the rocks. The fish forgot all about their mothers warning. Suddenly a giant’s giant net grabbed them. Then Tane, the God of light, pulled them into stars. Now their names are Toheti, Toheta, Tupuanuku,Tupu-a-rangi, Ururangi, Waipura-a-rangi, but one remains nameless so any lonely child can name it.
