MAUI - La capture du soleil - The trapping of the sun

32 The sun kept his word; he slowed down his daily transit. Men could finally finish their work wi- thout hurrying, they got time to build the marae for their gods, they had time to gently cook their food in their ovens. Le soleil tint sa promesse, il ralentit sa course. Les hommes purent enfin terminer leur travail sans se presser, ils eurent enfin le temps de bâtir les marae de leurs dieux, leurs aliments eurent enfin le temps de cuire tranquille- ment dans leurs fours.
