Mafatu builds a fish trap so that he can catch more food than by regular fishing alone. He keeps it offshore by the coral reef. However, a hammerhead shark raids his trap and eats what Mafatu has caught before the boy can get to it himself. Mafatu kills the hammerhead after the shark has completely destroyed Mafatu’s first fish trap. He later builds another.
