House of the Sun

Once, the sun moved too quickly across the sky. The days were too short for the magnificent cloths created by the goddess Hina to dry after being dyed.
Hina's son, the demigod Maui, climbed 10,000 feet to the summit of Haleakala, where the sun was asleep.
Maui hid until morning, and when the sun rose to cross the sky, Maui lassoed it with a rope made of twisted coconut fibers.
Maui refused to release the sun unless it agreed to a bargain: Maui would set the sun free if it would agree to move more slowly across the sky.

The bargain was struck - the sun agreed to move slowly through the sky for six months of the year, then move his preferred pace the remaining months.
The goddess Hina created a cape for her sun Maui to celebrate his triumph - and it dried in one afternoon.
