1. Story of Maui-Maui

2. In the ocean lived a pod of whales. Whales like to eat fish
In the ocean lived a pod of whales. Whales like to eat fish. Maui-Maui is the leader of the whale pod. He’s a happy whale and likes to splash out of the water to see his other whale friends. When he does, he notices all these boats.

3. The boats that Maui-Maui saw in the distance belong the amomony animals. They live on an island nearby and fish from the sea. Look at all their fishing boats.

5. Maui-Maui noticed fish were starting to disappear in the sea and knew it was because of the amomonies. He got really angry and swam over to the amomony boats and took their fishing poles away from them.

6. He then swam over to the amomony island to speak with the queen about why he stole the amomony fishing poles. Since Maui-Maui was too big and would beach himself on the sand if he tried to swim ashore, Queen Amomony took a boat out to meet him. He explained to the Queen the importance of conservation. He said if the amomonies continued to be wasteful with the fish, the fish would become extinct and the amomonies and his whale pod would run out of food. Maui-Maui asked the queen if he could share this message with the other amomonies. She said yes.

8. Maui-Maui also took the amomonies for rides in the ocean so they could see first hand how many fish had disappeared.

9. As Maui-Maui and his pod swam away from the amomony island, he jumped out of the water to say goodbye to the amomonies. When he was out of the water, he noticed boats in the distance. These were not amomony boats, but human boats. Maui-Maui was angry again... 9
