Kupe and the Giant Wheke



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 

A giant octopus can travel a long way they sailed so far out to sea and dropped their fishing lines to tempt Te Wheke to come closer.


In the end, two major things happened. Hine-Te-Aparangi saw something unusual. It was Aotearoa AND Te Wheke was trapped and killed
