Kopuwai and the Clever girl- Retold by Brian Potiki

My summary on this story was about. The Maori legend of Kopuwai ( the monster ) and Kaiamio ( the clever girl ).  Kaiamio went out to search for Moa nests but on her way she got distracted and Kopuwai’s two headed dogs grabbed her and took her to Kopuwai’s cave. When she got there Kopuwai made a rope and tied it to Kaiamio’s ankle and made her do all of his chores.

But Kaiamio is very clever and builds a boat and sets herself free. Kopuwai found out and drank the river to try and find her again. Kaiamio told her tribe and they suck revenge they traveled to where Kopuwai was and lit it on fire.
