He never returned to earth again, and was worshipped by the Maoris as the God of Thunder and Lightning, How mankind learnt to ignite fire is told in a curious legend common to all Polynesians. The Maori Prometheus, Maui, who was a great practical joker, having extinguished all existing fires, his mother directed the servants to go and ask the goddess Mahuika to give them fire to cook' with, but they were all too terrified to obey her. Maui then offered to go himself. His parents warned him not ...to play any tricks on the old lady, and he promised to be careful. But on reaching the abode of the Goddess of Fire, and obtaining what he asked for, he went aside and extinguished it, and presented himself again. The fire was obtained by the goddess from the root of her nails, which she tore out to obtain it. Maui kept on extinguishing the fire given, and asking for more, till he thoroughly exasperated the Fire Goddess, who, when reduced to her last toe-nail, pulled it out and dashed it to the ground, when everything caught fire.
