The Seven Stars of Matariki

Long Long ago there lived 6 girls and one boy. He was called Jack.The girls were thinking of a plan to get the toy star off Jack. The girls were jealous  of Jack  because he was the youngest and they thought he was spoilt. They decided to use a skipping rope to trip him up. 
They pretended to be Mum and called  him in to dinner.  Jack came running and tripped over the skipping rope. The girls poured water on him and snatched the toy star. Just to be mean.
Jack was so mad he stomped over, grabbed the toy angrily and threw it up to the sky as hard as he could. Then the sun caught it with its arm and broke it into seven pieces. These pieces became the seven stars of Matariki.
You can see Matariki in early June.
Much better, Ella. You have given us some details - why things happened and how things happened.
