Kupe and The Giant Wheke
Kia Ora Amazing Readers
Today I’m going to be talking about Kupe and the Giant Wheke. If you have ever heard of this story or have not, please leave a comment on this blog and tell me what you think about it. Here is my work.
We read about a legendary character called Kupe who found his fishing lines were empty because A Giant Octopus was eating his fish from the net and making his net be covered in thick slime which is from an Octopus.
Main characters in the story are Kupe his wife Hine-Te-Aparangi and Muturangi the owner of Te Wheke, the giant octopus
Kupe said he would kill Muturangi’s pet, Te Wheke. After that, the following things happened: Kupe, Hine-Te-Aparangi, and their children loaded up the waka with food and plenty of drinking water. They sailed far out to sea and dropped their fishing lines to tempt Te Wheke to come closer. For weeks they chased Te Wheke. Hine-Te-Aparangi saw something unusual. “Look there,” she said, pointing. “ A long white cloud. It must be land!” Everyone was tired after the long journey, But wily The Wheke slipped out of his cave during the night and escaped. Even though the octopus had been on the run for weeks, he was still strong and quick. Kupe leant over the side as far as he could and smashed Te Wheke with his mere, right between the eyes. With a tremendous shudder, Te Wheke fell limp. Finally, the giant octopus was dead.
In the end, two major things happened. Hine-Te-Aparangi saw something unusual. It was Aotearoa AND Te Wheke was killed by Kupe.
