Tapa cloth. Tuna i te Rangi

In Hur 4 what is poetic arts we have been making Tapa cloth. Tapa cloth is where you soak and beat bark and spread it out to make a cloth like material. Then you put some patterns on it. It's a pretty fun thing to do. We made a draft and made a good copy after that. Then we had to make a haiku about our Tapa cloth. The things we drew was some stuff about the story we read and some of the stuff in the story. The story is called the creation of tuna. It's an awesome story. There was the one from the book and the one from a video. More about the Tapa cloths is that there are dozens of different cultures that do it. Now even more about the creation of tuna is that tuna in English is eel. Tuna came down from his dry heavens and immediately swam into a lake what was named Muriwai o whata. His name was Tuna i te Rangi. He lived there for many years. He swam under someones legs and got stuck in a trap. He got taken and cut up into four pieces. They all got thrown into different places. The head turned into the Conger eel, the tail turned into the blind eel and the lamprey eel and the other body parts turned into the fresh water eel. That's all and here's my haiku and my Tapa cloth. In it is eels, a sun, hinaki in a river, A river, a tree and a pa/marae. If you see any mistakes that don't make sense or any lines please tell me.

A flowing brown tree
Fast and hard to walk across
Awaiting a fish.
