Kapiti island myth

How Kapiti Island came to be

Once upon a time there was a little boy who believed there was an island under the water just off waikanae beach which no one could see.This boy always got bullied one day he was so upset he sat at a end of a cliff, what he did not know was that the bully was behind him and pushed him of! The little boy was falling to his death. When he  got to the rocks and the water this big sea snake saved him and gave him an enormous lick on the face, then he started to talk he said that there was an island under the water called kapiti island and when he got back they could lift the island off the sand onto the water. So that is what they did! And the little boy was never bullied again.
