Maui was in dreadful weather on his colossal waka, trying to catch a fish. Maui was starving. Maui was a fierce god and a ferocious warrior. He was muscular and was covered in tattoos. He had a frightful moko on his face.
The thunder rumbled and the lightning crackled causing Tangaroa to rise to the ocean bed. Tangaroa was angry because he did not want Maui fishing in his ocean and killing the fish. Tangaroa had muscles as large as the end of a patu, but they were not as big as Maui's. Tangaroa challenged Maui to a fight. Maui accepted the challenge but wanted to do it on land.
The reason Maui wanted to battle on land was so Tangaroa would be weaker and would not be in his element. Maui was stronger on land. Maui planned for the fight to be at dawn the next day at the beach.
The next day Maui met Tangaroa at the beach. Maui realized that Tangaroa had brought all of his men. Maui felt a little worried, actually really worried. Maui came up with a deal. He would only take enough fish to feed his tribe and no more and in return he promised to never harm Tangaroa's ocean.
