There once was a young man, who’s name is Mitai. Mitai lived with all seven brothers of
his in a village called, Maketu. Mitai was the youngest brother of his family. He was raised
by his kororua Tohunga Te Raiwhare which taught Mitai magic. Mitai could form into a bird and 
eavesdrop on his brothers conversations.

One day Mitai and his brothers went hunting on, pukemaire hill. Mitai and his brothers

came across the most beautiful singing that they've ever heard, they were despite to find 

out who was singing and where the singing was coming from. The brothers went off and 

found who the voice belonged to, it was a wahine (girl). As soon as they looked at the wahine

they all fell in love just in a snap of a finger. Well, all except Mitai. The brothers decided to 

bring the wahine back to their village, Maketu where they could become husband and wife. Mitai
did not like his brothers wives at all, as all they did was combing their hair and singing songs.
Instead of taking part of their village lives. All of Mitai’s brothers didn't go hunting but 

only left the Whare (house) to collect kai moana (seafood) for their wives. The wives didn't

eat the kai moana that the brothers provided them. The wives only wanted to eat something

that isn't kai moana.

Mitai's brothers eventually ate no longer, they no longer looked after their gardens or even  

care for their appearances. They became skinning and all their good looks became to

wash away. Mitai got suspicious of his brothers wives and watch them very carefully.

Mitai then saw that the wahine never agreed to leave there whare. Mitai's eldest brother

(Rongonui ) arrived home early from fishing. Rongonui yelled out for his wife and was no 

where to be found. After searching their whare Rongonui found that his other brothers wives
were no where to be found either. No one in the village had seen them either. A while after

Rougonui wife appeared. Rongonui asked his wife where she had been, Rongonui’s wife 

became into a terrible rage. Rongonui told all the wives how they just, vanished. Rongonui

was getting a bit worried but for Matai he became suspicion of the wives.
