It was huge and could create massive waves. Once, a group of greedy fishermen didn't follow the old ways of fishing. Dakuwaqa showed up, capsized their boats and took them into the deep sea. It was a warning to all to respect the ocean and its power.
The legend of the Vueti is also quite famous. Vueti was a spirit that was said to guard certain treasures or sacred areas. If someone tried to steal from these places or desecrate them, Vueti would come after them. It was often depicted as a menacing figure with a large club, ready to punish those who wronged the sacred spaces.
One common theme is family. Fijian stories often show the strong bond within families and how family members support each other through difficult times.
Sure. There is a story about a Fijian fisherman who went out to sea. He was so clumsy that when he threw his net, it got caught on his own hat instead of in the water. Everyone on the shore had a great laugh when they saw him trying to untangle it.

The story not only shows his courage but also the importance of unity in the village as everyone comes together to support him in his fight.
