Matariki are seven sister stars, They are very entertaining young sisters. They love to wiz about zigzagging and zipping all around the other stars. puana ( is a red star )was very annoyed by this. Takurua ( is a blue star ) Tangotango and Wainui overheard the complaints from the other stars, and they were digging out on how to sort this out to settle their daughters, Soon they decided to give them an imported task that they could be a sign for a new year.They got Matariki to call her sister over to them.
