Toitu te Mana maori |
Rona holds the tahaa and the nikau tree |
But the moon was angered by her outburst and rushed down toward her. The moon ceased Rona and she panicked. She grabbed nearby Ngaio tree but the moons grip was so strong it simply ripped the tree from the ground. Rona, her taha and the Ngaio tree were all dragged into the sky and to this day they remain as prisoners of the moon. To this day, as well, Rona regrets her outburst and pays dearly for that one moment of madness. Don’t be like Rona and blame others for your misfortune. Respect all things… at all times.
