The
Ancient Story of Matariki
In ancient times there were seven sisters
and they were from outer space. The sevens sisters were very busy sisters.
Until the stars were going out of control, they went crazy. They whizzed about,
zigzagged all around the planets and also the other stars.
The other stars were getting annoyed,
stressed and mad. Soon two stars went upon them. Then Red Star shouted, “You
guys are really crazy, unintentional, chaotic and annoying little stars!” Then
Blue Star demanded, “Settle down you troublesome little kids!”
The argument went on and on.
Suddenly the mother said, “We need to do
something to calm our children down.” Then the father had a really good idea. The
father said, “Why don’t we give them a job to represent the Maori New Year, so
the children calm down?”
That’s why we see the seven sisters from
our planet called Earth. So the stars have lived happily in a sacred place. And
that’s how Matariki was born.

The
Story About Matariki
Many years ago seven sisters were
zigzagging around the sun and the other planets. Then a loud sound came from
other stars, one was a red star and one was a blue star.
Red Star said, “I really don’t like you!”
Blue Star said, Settle down! Settle down! Settle down!” All the other stars and
all the other planets were getting annoyed as well.
The parents needed to do something. The dad
suggested, “Let’s give them a job, so they will settle down.” So the dad called
them over and spoke to them. So they started preparing and off they went. The
mum and dad were really happy that they were not zipping, zagging and whizzing
about.
So that is why Matariki was born. The
people will celebrate Matariki with vegetables and meat. They celebrate with
their family and friends.
