Tane & the three kete of knowledge retelling

Tane wanted to get the three kete before Whiro. He knew Whiro would not use them for good.Tane began by climbing the whirlwinds that his brother Tawhirimatea created. He climbed to the second overworld then onto the third. Whiro, his evil brother, was following him because he wanted to get to the three kete before him. Whiro sent his followers the owls, bats, mosquitos and sandflies to attack Tane. Tane’s brother Tawhirmatea blew the attackers to the corners of the heavens.Tane climbed to the eleventh overworld where he found Po-motomoto (the gateway to heaven) where he met Rehua the god of kindness. Rehua gave Tane the three kete of knowledge.Tane was climbing down with the kete when he met with Whiro in the ninth overworld there was a huge battle. Tane was beaten again but this time the knowledge in the kete made him stronger.Tane banished Whiro to the underworld and his friends the owls, bats, mosquitoes and sandflies came to earth where they are still pests today.
