Mitai and the Seven Sisters

Once there lived an adventurous kid name Mitai.  Mitai could eavedrop on his brothers conversations and transform into a bird.

One day mitai and his brothers went hunting and they heard the most beautiful singing in the world.  They all went over to see who was there.  Mitais brothers all immediately fell in love.  Mitais brothers took their girlfriends to the village and made them their wives.

Mitai realised that his brothers were only getting food for their wives and they themselves were becoming weak.  The wives never left their houses but one day Mitais noticed that they were not there.  Mitai saw a fantail fly out of one of the houses followed by six more fantails.  He transformed into a Kereru followed the fantails.  Next the fantails transformed into his brother's wives.  Mitai heard the wives planning to starve the brothers.

Mitai returned to the village to tell his brothers that their wives were planning to starve them but they just said "you are jealous."  "Well look are yourselves", said Mitai.  The brothers all looked at themselves and then believed their brother.  Mitai asked the elder to sew a magic net to capture the evil wives.

Mitai and his brothers waited for what felt like hours for the evil wives to return.  Finally they did and on their return Mitai and his brothers leaped up and caught the evil wives.  Mitai tranformed into an albatross and flew to the god of the stars holding the magic net with the evil wives in it.  Mitai asked the god of the stars to throw the evil wives far, far away.
