In those days , Heaven and Earth clung closely together, and all was darkness.

In the beginning these six sons and all other beings lived in darkness for and extremely long time able only to woder
what light and vision might be like.

After a battle between the six sons, Tu-matauenga ate 4 of his brothers as food,
sparing Tawhiri-ma-tea, the father of winds and storms.

This is why today people are fierce
and have war, why people eat plants and animals, and
why there are storms.
