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
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
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.
