The Sons of Ma'afu

Today  I was reading a traditional story from Tonga. The story is called the sons of Ma’afu. 

His sons names are Ma'afu toka and Ma'afu lele . The story goes like this. 

Once upon a time there was a chief named Ma’afu he had two sons. They grew up to be strong men and handsome men. But they will always get into trouble . Once they were throwing spears until they threw it anywhere and then it hit someone leg then after, the village got angry because they might hit someone else in the village . 

So the village sent  them to the lake to get water from the bottom of the lake but then they came across a big fat duck. It almost killed them but they killed it with their muscles . Then they took the duck to the village for the village to eat but the villagers were still angry . 

So the chief told them to go to the sea and get water from the bottom of the sea but when they were swimming to the bottom of the sea they got attacked by a triggerfish . The triggerfish almost killed them but they used all their might until one of them stuck there hand in the gills and then the fish stopped they killed the triggerfish and they took it back to back to the village  for them to eat.

The chief said were not safe when they’re around so he sent them away. The sons wanted to be close to their father, so they went to live in the stars alongside the triggerfish and duck.
