Samoan tapa

For Samoan language week, Te Puna Wairua did some Faiva (art).
We first drew some Samoan fugalaau and glued small pieces of pepa (paper)
then we glued the top with our glue laau (stick) to make it mafolafola (flat).
After that Te Puna Wairua drew some Samoan patterns and then coloured them to make them colorful.
When we finished we had to tell our story about our tapa patterns.


This is my story about my tapa pattern.
THE TALA OF THE BROTHERS OF ULU 

There once was a time when there was five brothers but one brother was different from the other 4 because he had special powers, powers he can read the enemy's mind and powers that he is faster than the speed of light but the brothers thought it was just a game after there father got killed from a tao (spear) and they thought that the brothers of ulu killed their father to have the power of taking over the towers of ulu they soon got banned from the towers of ulu even though they did no crime.
one year later their evil cousin Danelieli was going to be crowned king of ulu and they needed to stop him before he destroys the island of Samoa, So they made a plan to attack the towers of ulu at dawn.
They sharpened their tao and went to journey the island of samoa, they swimmed the lakes they leaped the holes until they get to the towers of ulu.
when they arrived they snuck in untill the guards caught them but the brother that had powers did not get killed and saved his 4 brothers.
the 4 brothers were endlessly grateful.
they saw Danelieli and attacked, The battle lasted for days until they defeated Danelieli and crowned the brother that had the powers and neeled to their king.
