WALT:Review the stories we read.

The Story is about a warrior who fell in love with Mahina-a-rangi because of her scent,conversation and good looks.The people at the Kahungunu district admired what he did, like is hunting skills and planting. Many young women, including Mahina-a-rangi were fascinated by his good looks. So Mahina-a-rangi and Turongo got married.

I like this story because it is very interesting. From the story I now know how to make a kawakawa perfume.
