In those days,Heaven and Earth clung closely together and all was darkness.

In the beginning these six sons and all other beings lived in the darkness for a extremely long time,able only to wonder what light and vision might be like.

After a battle between six sons,Tu-matauenga ate 4 of his brothers as food,spraring Tawhiri-ma-tea, the father of winds and storms.

This is why today people are fierce and have,why people eat plants and animals,and why there are storms.
