The legend begins in the mountain called Moua Puta. This mountain is aligned with the tip Tata, located in Paea (Tahiti) and the southern tip of Raiatea, the sacred island. While Polynesia was in the dark, moonless night, Hiro, the god of thieves tried to steal the mount Rotui. but his plan was foiled by Pai, who had been alerted by Ta'aroa, the Supreme God. Alerted

, Pai took his spear and from tip Tata, threw to Moorea. The spear pierced the top of Moua Puta, touching the Monte Rotui that thieves had already begun to steal, with ropes tied to their boats. This is how the two bays were formed, and Cook Opunohu Rotui leaving the mountain in the middle.
Pai's spear went flying to the southern tip of the island Raiatea, which is why its so steep terrain. In Moorea, the birds woke up to the buzz of the spear and confused thieves with their songs. They fled, believing that dawn was near. They could only carry a small part of Mount Rotui to Raiatea.
