Maui

In 2006, Fitzpatrick retired from the transit department with visions of moving to Maui and “marrying a pretty Japanese girl.”

Thus the Samoans account for the origin of two of their islands and also for the passing away of Maui from the earth.

When they came to land, Maui leaped out and ran up the mountain side to get the fire.

Often in the quiet days that followed did Maui amuse himself with the big kite.

But Maui and Ru had not worked perfectly together; therefore the sky was twisted and its surface was very irregular.

When Maui returned with his kite he was more careful in calling the winds to aid him in his sport.
