- In the beginning, there was Te Kore, The Nothing. From Te Kore came Te Pō, the Night. There were many nights. The last night joined with space and there came into being two thoughts.
- These thoughts were called Rangi, the Sky Father, and Papa, the Earth Mother. They were so much in love that they held each other tightly and refused to let go of each other.
- Thus the sky and the earth were joined solidly together. There was no light on the earth as Rangi and Papa's tight embrace prevented it. There was not even enough room for time to slip between them.
- Papa and Rangi gave birth to over 100 children; some of the children were Tangaroa, God of the Sea, Tāne, God of the forests, Tūmātauenga, God of War, Whiro, God of Darkness and Tawhirimātea, God of the Winds.
- They were all trapped between their parents and could hardly move. The children talked about what they should do.
- Tāne suggests that he would separate the parents. Whiro, was angry with Tāne because he was the eldest and he should be the one to do it. Tawhiri wanted their parents to be left alone. Tūmātauenga thought they should just kill the parents. But in the end, most of the children agreed that Tāne should push them apart.
