Narrator/davlyn-  A long long time ago there was a little island in the Pacific called Hawaiki, on the island, there was a village there was a fisherman called Kupe. Kupe was a rangatira, means he was a great fisherman. The villagers always go out and returned with waka laden with fish of coloured and sizes - gift from Tangaroa and Hinemoana. People gathered to greet them when they returned and divide the catch so the whanau had even share.

Narrator/davlyn - One day the fishermen lowered the line at their favourite fishing ground, they didn’t get their usual catch. Instead they pulled it out and found out the baits have vanished. This continued through the morning and into the day and not a single fisherman got a fish. 

Fisherman/xyrus - This had never happened before?

Narrator/davlyn - the villagers were furious at the fishermen and secretly accused the fishermen.

Villagers/everyone - they must have been disrespecting Tangaroa and therefore causing their misfortune.

Narrator/davlyn - Kupe wasn’t happy considering what is happening so he called a hui. The whole island gathered to discuss the fate of their island. Kupe spoke first.

Kupe/jeremy - Tangaroa and Hinemoa had provided us with food since the beginning of time. The fishermen had fed and generously looked after the tribe. I will investigate what is happening.

Narrator/davlyn - Early morning the next day, Kupe and the fishermen went to their usual fishing ground. The same thing happened. But as Kupe pulled out his line he noticed a slimy substance covering his hook and recognised it  belongs to an octopus. They returned empty-handed again. 

Narrator/davlyn - The next morning, Kupe went and spoke to Muturangi but Muturangi didn’t care, Kupe was annoyed with his response. 

Kupe/jeremy - If you don’t do anything then I will slay]]  your pet so it won’t trouble the people again.

Narrator/davlyn - Kupe gathered the fishermen and the villagers to build a canoe, a large ocean going canoe. 

They began their journey trying to catch the wheke who pillaging his fish he hunted him for a long time. But suddenly Kupes wife yelled out. Wife/Jairus - HEY LOOK LAND!!!! Narrator/davlyn - Kupe chased him all the way to the land of the long white cloud. 

Kupe/jeremy - GET BACK HERE!!!!!! 

Narrator/davlyn - He chased the wheke along the South Island and finally caught up with him between the South Island and Stewart Island. He picked up his fishing speared and hit him hard that he couldn't even move anymore. 

Kupe- I GOT YOU NOW!HAHAHA. 

Narrator/davlyn - after kupe killed the wheke they checked out the island they found then lived happily ever after.
