In these two legends of the demigod Māui, he blesses the people in two ways: creating the Hawaiian Islands and arranging for long days in the summer to give us time to do everything we need to do.
This summer solstice, Maui's arrangement with the sun is most obvious - the days are so long and the nights so very short.
These legends were adapted by Elaine L. Lindy for the website Stories to Grow By, where you can find a wide variety of wonderful stories.
