Once long ago there was a pair of plates.
The plates are not dinner plate's not the plates you eat off.

They are the one’s that cause earthquakes but that didn’t happen in the old day’s until Maui grew jealous of the plates friendship and this is how it all began there truly despicable war rival.

On a hot summer day Maui and his brother’s were hunting the great big eel when along came Maui’s mother with a big wide smile on her face “Maui the plates the plates are joining each other” “what are these plates may I ask?” interrupted Maui. 

“They are under the ground really really deep and they are getting together” cried Maui’s mother. “Come join the tribe we are just about to get a  sign from the plate’s come come hurry”called Maui’s mother.The brother’s dropped everything they were holding and sprinted after their mother including Maui.

All of a sudden the ground started shaking everyone was so happy and excited Maui’s mother couldn't stop talking about it.Suddenly a loud growl came from under the surface “LET’S DANCE” then everyone started dancing all except Maui.

Maui was furious Maui use to get attention the only thing the tribe liked and loved the most “QUIET” screamed Maui casting a spell to cause silence and the plates and the tribe stopped dancing all staring at Maui “NO ONE SHALL BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH RESPECT AND PROPER LOVE” bellowed Maui and with that Maui raced back to his he kainga.

At night Maui went out to his he was near where he talks to his father the god of death “father what shall I do” murmured Maui “I am the god of death if I was you I would beat the plates but there is a different way even I can see it you should to goodbye Maui” whispered Maui’s father and with that he disappeared in clear smoke.

Maui headed back to his house where his mother and his brother were waiting at the dinner table “hi mom hi brother’s”whimpered Maui.Everyone was silent Maui went down to sit well Maui's mother was dishing tea.Then Maui went to bed.The next day Maui was even angrier and ignored everyone suddenly an idea popped in his brain POP went the idea in his head “I will bash the dum plate’s that will teach them a lesson” thought Maui.


Maui went to the middle of the earth BASH SMACK CLING went Maui's magical stick.The plates could feel the magic they grew madder angrier then finally burst out with rage surprisingly the ground started shaking Maui was shocked and the plates realized they had magical power and force the whole world was shaking now this is why the alpine earthquake happens and every time someone enjoys something they absolutely love an earthquake happens and this is how it came to be.
