<br/><br/> Tu Takapo was the guardian of the South Island, and long ago, he believed this land was in danger of sinking into the sea. When all his efforts to save the land prove to be in vain, he calls upon the mighty gods to help in his task. But he pays little attention to the deal the gods make with him and soon has to pay the ultimate price. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
