Ko e founga hono ma'u'e Tonga 'a hono hingoa
Today mrs Tele'a told us a story about maui and tonga the expert fisherman but in tongan his name is tonga Tau ma tau
Maui was looking for a hook so he went to Tonga Tau ma Taus shop then Tonga asked maui which hook will he like there were fancy hooks and other hooks but there was one hook in the corner it was dirty and it had spider webs all over he chose the one in the corner so tonga cleaned it and gave it then maui had to pay but Tonga asked maui that is he finds an island then he has to name it after Tonga's name then maui went and threw his hook into the water then he felt something heavy so he lifted it up and it was not a fish neither a whale it was a island and he called it Tonga.
That is how Tonga got it's name
