According to Tongan tradition, a small island near Nukualofa was foiled up from the bottom of the sea by the* god Maui. This divinity put a man on the island and planted a yam on it to provide food for the man. The devil came and uprooted the yarn. The god then planted a cocoannt tree. The devil uprooted this tree. The god nest tried planting a sweet potato. The devil did with this what he had done with the yam and the tree. The god, losing all patience, decided to circumvent the adversary. He put a woman on the island, remarking that he would by this give the devil so much to do that he would have to leave plantations alone. That wag exactly as tilings turned out. The devil was made so busy by the new inhabitant of the island that he had no time to interfere with vegetable production, which since then has increased satisfactorily.
