Origin of life

responding to Indentity

Identity

Educate yourself enough so you may understand

the ways of other people

But not too much

that you may lose

your understanding

of your own

Try things palagi

Not so you may become palagi

but so may see the value

of things Sāmoan

Learn to speak Sāmoan

not so you may sound Sāmoan

but so you may

feel the essence

of being Sāmoan

Above all

be aware and proud

of what you are

so you may spare yourself

the agony of those who are asking

“What am I ?”

Lemalu Samau Tate Simi (1995)

Answer :20

Mr Joe and Mrs Fay

                                                               Bledisloe cup
Bledisloe cup: a couple who won the bledisloe cup and  started market gardening when they were married in 1957.

they could be called citizen sciencentist because when there was an issue with there plants they came up with good ideas to fix them.

Fay gock and joe gock won the bledisloe cup from there market gardening and they become champions.

broccoli: Joe gock came up with a good idea for the broccoli not to go yellow and limp.

when he put it in the fridge he sprayed it with water and it still went yellow and limp but when he came up with this idea he was surprised.

one day he brought a chilly bin home and filled it up with ice and water then he put the broccoli in and waited till the next day.....

he had a look at the broccoli and it was fresh and clean.

seedless watermelon: Joe and Fay were also the first market gardeners in New Zealand to grow seedless watermelons,and this led to another invention - stickers on fruit were the ones that had seeds in them and there was no way to tell them apart cause they were both the same.

and now everyone buys watermelon from the fruit shop
