THE BATTLE OF THE MOUNTAINS
Kia ora whanau today I will be telling the story of the battle of the mountains. It was a long time ago and to this day they might just do it all over again now let’s get to the story.
Long long ago in the lands of Aotearoa there once lived 7 maunga. Their names were Taranaki who stood tall and mighty, Ruapehu, yes he wasn’t tall but still quite strong and respectful,Tauhara stood with pride and respect,Tangariro, a fiery warrior with anger inside him and finally. Pihanga the peaceful and beautiful maunga (and friendly) the battle began. They all loved the same maunga so anger. Started to boil in their hearts jealousy rose and BOOM!!!

With a big clash Taranaki and Tangariro were the first to attack each other. They threw fiery boulders at each other which left scars. Then Ruapehu landed a bone cracking punch on Tauhara and fell to the ground even though he was hurt he got back up and all started fighting in the end. Tangariro stood victorious and hurt but still claimed Pihanga and heart broken Taranaki left the area but still had enough strength to carve the Whanganui river weeping in sorrow. His tears were like the source of the water.

Today, Taranaki stands frozen on the west coast where the sun sets on a fine day. Taranaki gazes over to the love he could not have.
