The black, dying plants across the island of Motunui suddenly sprang to life. An explosion of green foliage1 and colorful flowers circled Sina and Tui. Sina took one look at the vibrant2 plants and raced for the shore. Tui dropped an armful of supplies and followed, running to catch up. From the waters edge, they could make out a boat in the distance.
Moanas canoe blasted over the oceans whitecaps as it sped toward the lush green peaks of Motunui. Moana soared over the reef. When she got close enough, she jumped out of the boat and ran up to her parents. Sina grabbed her and wrapped Moana in her arms. With tears in his eyes, Tui hugged Moana tightly. The family held each other for a long moment, happy to be reunited.
I may have gone a little way past the reef, Moana said.
Tui smiled and looked at the boat. Suits you, he said with a nod.
Soon the villagers joined them on the shore, and Pua excitedly rushed over to Moana, nuzzling against her and covering her with kisses. Pua! Whoa, snout in the mouth!
As Moana played with Pua, a pack of village kids raced past and leapt onto Moanas canoe, pretending to be wayfinders.
Days later, the whole village pulled the huge double-hulled, ocean-voyaging canoes out of the cavern3. Moana smiled proudly as she gazed at the boats of her ancestors. The ocean spiraled at her feet, and a little wave carried her conch shell, washing it onto the shore. Moana knelt down and picked up the beautiful, sparkling pink shell. Taking a walk, she placed the shell at the very TOP of the highest peak in Motunui, raising the island higher, just like her father and his father before him.
It wasnt long before the villagers stood at the waters edge, cheering a fleet of departing canoes, led by Moana. Tui and Sina raced next to her, on their own boat. Tui pulled a rope and their huge canoe passed Moanas. She quickly maneuvered4 her sail and rocketed to the front of the fleet, looking back at her parents proudly.
As she leaned out on the outrigger, a spectral5 manta ray swam beneath her and she smiled, knowing it was Gramma Tala.
In the sky above, a massive hawk6 screeched7 as it dove toward Moana, slicing the water and creating a wave for her to jump. Her canoe crested8 the swell9 and landed smoothly10, gliding11 across the water. Standing12 confidently at the helm of her boat, Moanathe wayfinder, the warrior13, the next great chief of her peopleknew she was exactly where she was meant to be.
莫图鲁尼上的黑色、垂死的植物，一夜之间又焕发出生命活力。绿树繁花围绕着西娜和图伊。西娜看了一眼充满生机的植物，径直向海岸跑去。图伊也放手手中的供给品，追了过去。在海边，他们明确地看到远处有一艘船。
莫阿娜的小船踏浪而来，越过礁石，迅速驶向莫图鲁尼青翠的山峰。靠岸时，莫阿娜从船上跳了下来，奔向爸爸妈妈。西娜一把抱住了她，将她拥入怀中。图伊眼里噙着泪水，也紧紧抱住莫阿娜。一家人紧紧相拥了许久，因团聚而高兴不已。
离开礁石后我又走了一段路。莫阿娜说。
图伊微笑地看着船，点了点头道：你做得非常对。
不一会儿，岛民们也纷纷来到海边加入了他们，只见胖胖开心地朝莫阿娜跑去，用鼻子蹭她，对她一阵狂吻。胖胖！哇哦，你蹭到我的嘴啦。
莫阿娜与胖胖一块高兴地玩耍时，一群孩子也跑了过去，他们跳上莫阿娜的小船，有模有样地当起了寻路人。
几天后，岛民们将厚重的双体航海船只拖出了洞穴。莫阿娜看着先辈们的航船，自豪地笑了。海水在她的脚下旋转着，海浪将一个海螺壳送到她跟前。莫阿娜蹲了下来，拾起这个漂亮、闪光的粉色海螺。随后，她走向莫图鲁尼的最高峰，将这个贝壳放到了山峰的顶端，就像她的爸爸和祖父过去所做的那样，使这座海岛变得更高，让岛民们生活得更好。
不久之后，岛民们都聚在岸边，高声欢送莫阿娜领航的船队离开礁石。图伊和西娜驾着他们我们的船与莫阿娜并驾齐驱。图伊拉了拉帆绳，飞速超越莫阿娜的船。莫阿娜也迅速调整船身，讯速地冲到船队的前面，然后回头骄傲地看向爸爸妈妈。
当她将头探到船舷外，看到船下游着一条发光的蝠鲼，她会心地笑了，了解那就是她的塔拉祖母。
空中，一只巨鹰朝莫阿娜飞来，欢腾地叫着，飞速划过水面，激起一股波浪好让莫阿娜跃起。她驾船冲上浪尖又稳稳落下，在水面上自由地滑行。莫阿娜自信地站在船头上，她是出色的寻路人、无畏的勇士、莫图鲁尼下一任伟大的酋长她了解地了解我们的使命。
