This is a story about how people love the reef and how they saw the seahorse. It was a story about a family who lived near the reef that was just outside town. This was where all their relatives and friends went every weekend in summer to dive for kai moana. They obviously loved kai moana and were lucky that the reef was the home of much kai moana - paua, pipi, kina, mussels and many other shellfish. How they cared for the sea animals. When they felt guilty that they poisoned the land and now they feed their poison in the sea water and by doing that they have lost their aroha for the sea. When they realize what they are doing is wrong they feel bad about what they have done to the sea. They apologize to the sea that “We have been unkind to you”. So this whole short story is basically how the family love and care about the sea because it’s home to them.
