What is the plan Maui asked?The plan is that we get harakeke for rope but it must be thick rope, then maui you use your hook to give the sun a punishment.Are you in Maui?Yes! Then they made rope, very thick rope. So the brother tried to do everything in the night. So if the sun wakes up they capture him with no sorrow. When the sun awoken the flames started to fire up.When they saw the eyes they attacked! The threw the ropes at his hair and over his humongous body of Tama-Nui-Te-Ra.Tama-Nui-Te-Ra was no longer moving. Maui pounced on a pile of rocks and hit Tama-Nui-Te-Ra with his hook.Tama-Nui-Te-Ra was too tired to fight so he gave up.
