    What a wonderful set of stories Penny. Thanks for sharing them with us over here in Aussie. One that my father told me, out in the desert of Australia when looking at the stars, is that the constellation we call Scorpio, is seen by the Maori people as the fishhook of Maui, and that the force of pulling the North Island out of the sea was so great that the hook flung up into the sky where it can be seen always. You will see that the constellation looks like the shape of a Maori bone carving. I love that…. all these people around the world looking up at the stars and interpreting them according to their culture.
