Measuring Tapa Clot

legend of Kava Tonga

The story that our teacher showed was very sad because of what the dad and the mother had to do to there only daughter. They had to kill there daughter just to feed there king that arrived o there island and asked for food. But the thing was the island they were standing on couldn't produce anything like food or drinks, so for food they sacrificed there only daughter just to feed the king but he didn't eat it and the king said that he respects them for it.

For me i think that this is very sad and depressing and it wasn't the right decision. They could have explain to the king and his men that they could not make food for them because this island could not produce any food or water. I also think that he could ave just gone to fish in the sea to make things not as bad as they ended up.

Ko e founga hono ma'u'e Tonga a hono hingoa

 Today our teacher Mrs Tele'a told us a story of Maui and how Tonga got it's name.The Tongan islands were named after a man who sold and gave away hooks. His name was Tongataumata'u, he also gave Maui his hook."what can i give you" said Maui, Tongataumata'u thought and finally gave an answer "when you fish and island make sure to name that island after me". so as he promissed he got and island and named it after him and thats how Tonga got it's name.
