so Kupe and his men went out in the deep blue oceans (sea). When they got there they all started fishing, but there was a Giant Wheke that stole their bait. Then Kupe got very angry about the Wheke so then he sailed across the open sea all the way to where Muturangi was. Kupe found Muturangi and told him to keep his Giant Wheke away from the them while they do some fishing or else Kupe will kill the Giant Wheke. So then when Kupe left Muturangi was not listening to him so Muturangi didn't care about the Wheke going to steal the bait. So then when Kupe and his men went out fishing the Giant Wheke Stole the bait again so Kupe went off on his Waka chasing the Giant Wheke to kill it. As Kupe chased the Wheke around the other island he was chasing it, but then he found a weird place which was New Zealand. He named it Aotearoa the land of the long white cloud, but he was thinking that if there was other people living on this place, but there was no one on this place so he traveled back to Hawaii to tell the chief that there is a new land. So then Kupe and his people sailed all the way to Aotearoa, but when they got there some of them went to west side and some went on the east side. As Kupe went past the beaches and the land’s like Mission Bay, Okahu Bay and other places of things. Kupe and his men and woman lived there for ever.
