The Demigod Maui

Moana decided to sail out and find the answer in the ocean.

She quietly took a boat and went into the night.

The wind blew; she felt nervous but excited.

But the waves were too strong and pushed her back to shore.

The next day, she found Gramma Tala.

Gramma was ill but still smiled and said:

“Go, my child. That green stone is your destiny.”

She gave Moana the glowing heart.

“Find Maui, and make him return the Heart of Te Fiti.”

Moana promised with tears in her eyes.

That night, the ocean shone with light.

Moana sailed her boat, and the wind carried her far away.

She faced storms, lightning, and long lonely nights.

Finally, she landed on a small island.

There, a big man was carving stones.

He was the demigod Maui!

Moana shouted happily, “I found you!”

Maui smiled proudly, “Of course, I’m a hero!”

He told his story:

“I got a magic fishhook from the gods.”

“With it, I pulled up islands for people to live on.”

“I gave humans fire, the sun, and gifts.”

Moana said, “But you also stole the heart of Te Fiti.”

Maui froze. “Oh, that little thing?”

“I just wanted to help humans be happy.”

“But you brought darkness and monsters,” said Moana.

Maui didn’t want to admit he was wrong.

He only wanted to get his fishhook back.

“Without it, I can do nothing.”

Moana said, “Then we’ll find it together!”

Maui was surprised. “Together?”

“Yes, the ocean chose me.”

At that moment, a wave splashed on Maui’s foot.

Maui opened his eyes wide. “Wow, it really listens to you!”

They started sailing together.

Moana learned to steer, and Maui taught her to read the stars.

They slowly became good partners.
