Tane Mahuta mahuta wanted more space to play and run around. He told the other gods they all agreed. Except one. This was Tafiti mafia so he went to his father, Ranginui, and warned him. Ranginui clung on to Papatuanuku wrapping his arms around her tighter. Tane mahuta got sick of waiting for all the other gods to push so he started without them. He heaved and pushed, but as hard as he tried it wasn't enough. Tane mahuta fell to his knees. The other gods pushed as well but eventually they too fell to their knees. Tane mahuta did not give up and with one mighty push he made a little gap in between his parents and this gave him determination. With one last push he separated them completely. Their wails almost made the other gods want to stop tane mahuta. But as they looked over the horizon they saw what they could create in the space and the fell in love with it instantly.
Ranginui started crying and the gods were worried that he would never stop. With sadness in their eyes the gods pulled on the long hair Papatuanuku turning her head over so that Ranginui couldn't see her face. Papatuanuku curled up into a ball and created the land Ranginui’s tears became the lakes, rivers and the sea. After a while Ranginui and Papatuanuku forgave tane mahuta and the other god for that they had done even though Ranginui sometimes cries. Tafiti mafia never forgave them and every now and then he will blow winds signaling that he is still angry.

Tane mahuta = god of forest ☘️
Tafiti mafia = god of wind ☁️
