Whale Rider ( 五 )

The largest whale belongs to the legendary Paikea. According to Māori tradition, Paikea is an ancestor of their tribe.

Nevertheless, when her grandfather walks away, she climbs onto the back of the largest whale and persuades it to back to the ocean. Strangely, the whale leads the entire whales back into the sea. Meantime, Pai's grandmother find out that Pai is missing. All villages started to seek for Pai, but they did not find her. They assumed that Pai died and cried. During the time, Pai's grandmother forwards Pai's grandfather the whale tooth which Pai had recovered early.

In the middle of the night, they got a phone call from the hospital that Pai is found and now is in the hospital. After that, Pai's grandfather declares that she is the leader of the village. Finally, Pai's father come back to his village and lives with his family happily.
