It was raining hard and the sea was storming as the wind stirred up a howling like that of angry wolves.

At first everyone was running for the cover of their homes while Tui the great Leader of Motunui stayed behind making sure each and every one of his people made it to safety and that all farm animals were put in a safe place from the storm.

Only once he was the only one left did he walk the Island once more looking for any human or child he may have missed the first five or six times.

Only then when he turned to survey the beach once more did he see something about the size of a large rock falling from the sky.

What was that? He wondered curiously worrying if it were some threat for his people.

But then as it got closer to the ground he began to realize what he was actually seeing for now it was wailing loudly from fear and probably other things too.

Tui didn't stop to think no Tui was the kind of leader that thrived on acting fast and having sharp reflexes he needs to have these traits in order to be the great leader of his people that he was. Tui sprang forward and managed almost just in time to catch the falling thing.

Standing in the pouring rain looking down at what was now safely tucked in his arms he cuddled it close smiling.

It wasn't a rock at all or an animal, what had just fallen out of the sky was in fact a baby.

And she was definitely a cute little tyke but where had she come from? She was not one of their babies, he knew this because currently there were no babies of this size living in the village.

But then how did it get here?

Suddenly it's piercing wail grew louder breaking his concentration and reminding him him where they were.

Bundling the naked baby closer to his chest he ran quickly for his own shelter, it was time to get this tiny creature into a warmer drier place.

Inside his wife Sina hovered over him like a mother hen, trying to shove him towards the fire.

He sat by the fire trying to warm the shivering baby.

"What Is this? Where did she come from?" Sina asked curiously.

Looking up at his wife he just shrugged and answered.

"I have no idea where she came from she practically fell out of the sky and into my arms. She's not from our Island but I have no idea what to do with her she is on our Island so I'm feeling responsible for her."

Sina took the child from Tui and wrapped her in a tiny grass skirt to cloth her nakedness then joining him by the fire she surveys her.

"You know Tui, we have both always wanted a baby of our own but my body wouldn't allow it what if we adopt this little girl as our daughter? We can raise her and she'll be taught our ways." Sina suggested.

Tui grinned at the easy thought and hugged his wife.

"You're right and she seems to be a very fine healthy baby too, She fell out of the sky by the water so I think we should call her Moana." Tui decided gently.

Sina nodded.

Cuddling her and tickling her bare feet Sina smiles "Hey Little Moana, I think you'll make a fine little villager here."

The baby no longer screamed instead in the warm arms of her new adoptive mother she slipped into sleep.
