But still the world was dim and dark. Maui said, and lifted with his mighty strength. He tossed the sky up where it is today. Now the sun could come bringing light and warmth. Sometimes the clouds come low and rest upon the mountains.
Rain pours down.
Mau'i learned to fashion a kite out of leaves and the ieie vine on which he flew through the air and rescued his wife from the bat. Mau'i cut of the bats head and ate its eyes in revenge. Finally Mau'i went to Waipio valley on he Big Island of Hawai'i where the Gods Kane and Kanaloa are having a party roasting bananas. Mau'i tried to steal the bananas and had his brains bashed in. The red colors of the rainbow were formed by Mau'i's blood.
