My Myth- The Green Flash.

This week we had to create our own myth. I chose to create on around the green flash. Her is my work.

Ra and the Green Flash.

Once there was a beautiful young woman who lived on the wild West Coast of the South Island.. Her name was Ra Tuhiwai. She was the daughter of Tane Tuhiwai and the lover of Hare Tohoro who was a young warrior. They had a beautiful baby boy called Marama. But soon a tragic thing happened, Hare went to war with the neighbouring tribe and did not return. In her grief Ra rose up and became the sun. But she had left her only child, Marama. Marama was all alone. He had to look after himself. But seeing as he was only 3 he rose up and became the light (Marama). To this day they both remain in the sky. They meet on clear nights and their bond creates a green glow or a flash.


That is the story of the green flash.
