(Dramatization of the narrative)

Pause - Dustin & Caralyn will start the narrative

Papahanaumoku, earth mother, and Wakea, sky father, lived in the time of Po, in the time of darkness.

One day an ipu appeared, Wakea picked up the ipu, threw open the cover, and the cover became the sky.

Wakea then threw the pulp of the ipu which became the sun.

From the seeds came the stars.

The white lining became the moon,

and from the flesh came the clouds in the sky.

Wakea then threw the sweet juices over the clouds which became the rain.

What was left from the ipu became the land and ocean.
