ah confusion now next one we’re going to
do for you it is our last item for you
today we’re going to do one of the there
was a little program last year called
hot fusion it was a competition and
we’re going to do one of our our winning
items from last year now as with some
dances dances some dances tell stories
and this one tells the story of not only
our priest from a little place back home
and it tells the story of how geothermal
fire arrived here in New Zealand now
what you’re going to see as his fight
with a chief called hapa to Kia to argue
and it is fight he cooled down the snows
to fall upon what we know today as tumor
little mountain for the purpose ski
filled all the snow came there because
our chief were a priest called the snow
from the heavens to kill or to vanquish
his enemy but unfortunately it was a
little too successful in the process he
almost killed himself from the cold and
in his anguish he’s called out to his
sisters in Hawaii to send geothermal
fire which arrived onto the mountain
which is why they are volcanic mountains
and why he has survived their peril so
ladies and gentlemen enjoy the story of
not the waiter he into a two-star Cara
