Long before Tonga was around there lived a pacific hero that roamed the pacific ocean searching for a place to find an island. And his name was Maui, the great legendary hero of the pacific ocean. He needed a hook to use to find a island so he went to Samoa and found a man who was called 'Tonga tau mata'u' ! Maui went to the man's little workshop to see if the man would lend a hook for Maui to use. Maui had a conversation with Tonga and he agreed to get out his hooks for Maui to choose only if Maui would name the island after him. Maui made a promise to name the island after Tonga but before he was off to find the island he had to choose a hook. Tonga took out his collection of hooks for Maui to choose. All of them were bright colors and were stunning. But Maui had caught something else and it was a scrubby and dirty old blue hook! Maui choose that hook which had Tonga confused as in why he choose that hook but Tonga was fine with it and then off Maui was in search for a Island. Maui searched and searched and ended up finding a green peace of island that he caught down the bed of the ocean. He than got ready to pull the island up to where he was by getting his hook and throwing it down wards to the island. Maui pulled the island up to the ocean's surface. " It's beautiful " said Maui. "I will call it Tonga as promised "! THE END! This book was written by David Riley If you are wondering. This book was super creative and fun to listen to as our teacher was reading it.
