Editing Kahaʻi (section)

==Samoa==
In the Samoan version of the legend, '''Tafaʻi''', his brother '''ʻAlise''', and his sister Ifiifi are the children of Pua and [[Sigano]].<ref name=Tregear1891/>  Their servant Lauamatoto ascends to heaven in order to find a bride suitable for Tafaʻi. He convinces the goddess Sina-tae-o-i-lagi, daughter of Tagaloa-lagi, to give an audience to the Tafaʻi and his brother, who disguise themselves as ugly old men in order to reach her court safely.  Because of their appearance, the goddess rejects them.  The next day when they are about to leave, she sees their true appearance and is distraught and chases after them.  Tafaʻi threw Sina into a pit, from which she is rescued by his parents, who bring her to live with them.  Eventually, Tafaʻi falls in love with her, but she escapes to her home in heaven.  Her family convince her to return to earth and marry Tafaʻi, to whom she bears La, the sun, who goes to live with her mother in the sky.
