The next day tangaroa asked the hedgehog if he wants to live in the sea. “Were I will bring you friends”. said tangaroa. “No thank you” said the lonely hedgehog, “I have a great life up here on the land”. Days past and the hedgehog grew lonelier. He missed playing with Tane and trying the new berries Tane grew. He decided to ask if he can live in the sea. “Tangaroa”, said the hedgehog. “Is there still enough room in the sea for me”. “Sure, come on in and ill give you friends”. “thank you.” So the little hedgehog jumped into the and his legs shrunk into his body and he curled into a ball and Tangaroa called him Kina. The fish played with Kina. And that's why there are kina in the sea right now! ||

There lived a young hedgehog who was very very lonely and had no friends but Tane Mahuta. One day Tane far welled the little hedgehog because he went to discover a new land to bring new trees to, Aotearoa.
