Raru e Maruekaītā is based on a traditional fable told to children in the Cook Islands, warning them
of the dangers of greed and ambition. The story serves as both a cautionary tale and a moral lesson,
reminding young listeners that the pursuit of power or wealth at any cost can lead to devastating
consequences.
