why the sun moves slowly

In the beginning when the earth was set down, the sky was lifted up,some things were not quite finished but there lived a hot blazing sun.

Every day the sun zoomed through the sky and that meant that the days were too short and plants weren't growing well.Te Marama, the moon was so tired from appearing early at night and he was angry because he need some rest.

Ethiopia was sick and tired of the sun moving so fast across the sky. So she asked her friend Te Marama the moon for her help to slow down the sun. She said “Yes I’ll help you.”
So that night, while the sun (Tero) was fast asleep, Ethiopia ran to sea where Tangaroa was. She asked him “Will you help me and Te Marama the moon please?”
“Yes I’ll help you.” Replied Tangaroa in a deep voice.

So when the sun come out from his hole. Te Marama was behind this big white cloud were Tero couldn't see him. Te Marama jumped out from were she was hiding and Ethiopia was hiding and Te Marama had a rope. They both tied a rope around the sun (Tero) and Ethiopia said “If you don't slow down when you travel through the sky, I will cover your hole and you will not come out again!”

They had a deal. So from then on, Tero the sun travelled through the sky slowly, plants grew well, days were long and kids had time to play outside.

That is why the sun moves slowly.
