                                                 Legend

One day a child named Tama -rereti was fascinated by the beautiful sky because there was something magic that appeared in the sky . They were called Southern lights so he laid down on his back and enjoyed watching the southern lights. Suddenly he found some passion and wonderful glory in himself that he asked a man named Tane,the god of forest, for a totara log to build himself a waka boat. He needed tane for help . Tane agreed and the boat building had begun. With his boat he went and looked for lights because he was fascinated by it.The legend is true that  Southern lights are lights that appear in the night glowing sky and they glimmer like glitter, shine like something good was going to happen. The Aurora Aurelius is made by solar wind particles guided by Earth's field lines to the top of the atmosphere. Southern lights are lights that have many colours that are fascinating and interesting for people to see.

Thats the legend of the Southern lights.
