Mauao - caught by the dawn- easy
Matua Chris
Long ago, before the first people lived on the shores of Tauranga Moana, there lived three maunga.
Ōtanewainuku, a chiefly maunga who ruled over the forest of Hautere.
Pūwhenua, was a great beauty.
The “nameless one”. He was a pononga – a slave
For many years, the nameless one lived peacefully in the Hautere forest. During the day, he worked for his master. But at night, he night with the magical patupaiarehe. The forest creatures would slide down his back and swing from his trees. They repaid him for this kindness by massaging his tired body with their feet.

Some of the puzzles that people list for the public
get indexed by the search engines
(like Google).
Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle
of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.
There are now buttons on the puzzle so that you can get a clean page,
in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button
to print. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a
printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page.
The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!
