Kia Ora i’m Jayden and this is my Rona and the Moon recount story.
Rona and the Moon
My Recount
by Jayden Carroll
Once there was a woman named Rona and she was getting water with her hue (pot), Rona was sent to do this by her husband,Tamanuitera. Rona thought her husband was too lazy to do this and she was angry with him.
Rona walked a long way and eventually got to the forest with her hue but it was too dark and she tripped over a rock because she couldn’t see properly and hurt herself. “Ouch,” she said. All of her water in the hue was gone. SPLASH! Rona went back to the river and got more water in the hue and she was angry. She yelled at the moon Marama, for not giving her light.
Rona started to make her way back to the marae, but on her way there a couple of clouds got in the way of the moon. Rona started to yell at Marama. Marama said “Be careful what you say, Rona,” with his quiet, soft and silky voice.
Rona started to walk again and clouds went over the moon again, Rona yelled again and Marama didn’t warn Rona this time. He lifted her up into the night sky. Rona gasped, as she was afraid of heights. Marama calmed down a bit and said to Rona, “it will be alright,Rona, you’re fine”
Rona stayed with Marama and they fell in love. Rona stayed with Marama.
When I did this there were different kinds of thing I went through like…
Something challenging that I did was remembering to make all of their names capitalised first letters of their names.
Something I found interesting in this story was the story of Rona and the Moon itself like its story line and lore.
Something that was easy was remembering all their name unlike the rest of the class arguing about what Ronas name is “Rona, Rono,Rona” and then there was me knowing it was Rona.
