This week, we read about a legendary character called Kupe who found his fishing lines were empty because Te Wheke ate it
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
