The story of Kahu who said to be there from the beginning to the end. This is told by Kawiri.

-The story of Kahutia Te Rangi is a myth.He rescued a young whale from sharks three months after its mother died.The two became friends as he becomes the whale rider.

-Kahutia's throwing of small spears onto land and sea.The spear becomes pigeons and cels.

A spear refuses to leave his hand.However,when he prays the spear leaps from his hand onto the land to flourish later.

The whales behave like human beings.They think,speak and have wives and husbands.This personification is typical of oral traditions.
