A wife for Te Ra

This story is from Moira Wairama.

It is about Te Ra and how he found a wife.

His sister Te Marama was the Moon and she felt sorry for him because he was lonely.

Te Marama suggested that he should get a wife.

So, Te Ra went and talked to Tangaroa but he was very shy.

First Te Ra went to talk to Hine-Raumati he liked her because she was gentle and friendly.

Then Te Ra went to talk to Hine-Takurua he liked her too because she made him laugh.

In the end Te Ra decided to marry both.

So at the time of the winter solstice he would go to Hine-Takurua.

And when it’s time for the summer solstice he would go to Hine-Raumati.
