Hi and my name is Sia and today this week I did reading and it was called Talamea and the Turtle. Many years ago, on the island of Niue Nukututaha, there lived a
mahele girl named Talamea. Her skin was the colour of moonlight. Talamea was blessed with many talents. Her grandparents said she was a gift from the gods. Talamea could talk to the creatures of the sea, and she was filled with music. Talamea’s papa taught her all the old songs of Tuapa, their village. In the evenings, they liked to sit together, enjoying the cool breeze, singing of their love for Nukututaha and for their god, Tagaloa.
