It was especially his mouth that was horrible. She had black, hard, sharp, terrible teeth.

The one who has always had the last word.<\/p><p>Maui flexed his biceps and talked about a number of his wonderful feats. His papa, tormented by a few bad omens, wanted to hold him back, but to hell with the dreams! To keep him company, the valiant hero took care to take a few birds with him. They borrowed the milky voice. How long was the road leading to the celestial house!<\/p><p>When they arrived, the goddess was sleeping. Maui said he was going to slip inside the Goddess of Death.<br \/>\u201cBe careful not to speak, or to laugh, before seeing me revealed by his mouth!<\/p><p>Among his friends was a certain bird who had precisely the brains of a bird. When our boy engulfed himself in his ancestor, everyone heard a clear and mocking laughter: that of the bird which let its heart speak. Hine Nui Te Po woke with a start and crushed the hero&#039;s head with a sharp blow: thus perished the brave Maui.<\/p><p>We haven&#039;t tried to kill death since...<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mythologie Tahitienne du Vent Wiki Dans cette l\u00e9gende polyn\u00e9sienne, le h\u00e9ros l\u00e9gendaire Maui affronte la d\u00e9esse de la mort, la &hellip; <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":9989,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21521","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21521"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21528,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21521\/revisions\/21528"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
