When Taufulifonua grew to manhood, his sister, Havea Lolofonua, bore him a son, Hikuleʻo, Tangaloa and Maui divided the creation between them.
One day Maui visited Manuka (Samoan: Manuʻa) and there an old man, Tonga Fusifonua, gave him a fish-hook.
He exerted all his strength and succeeded in hauling the line in, to find that he had dragged up Tongatapu from the bottom of the sea.
Maui continued fishing with this wonderful hook and so pulled up from the deeps the rest of the islands of Tonga, and some of those of Fiji and Samoa as well.
One day Tangaloa ʻAtulonglongo visited ʻAta in the form of a plover and dropped a seed from the beak upon the island.
Then the plover felt a morsel left on his beak; he shook it off and it turned into a man called Momo.
