Use this passage from the myth to answer the question.

Though Tū was not satisfied, the others liked this plan of action, and proceeded to try with all of their might to separate their parents. Rongo, the god of cultivated food and the harvest, pushed with all his might but could not budge his parents even an inch. Their love was strong, and such bonds are extremely difficult to break. His brothers Tangora, the god of the sea, and Haumia, the god of wild and uncultivated foods, joined him and offered their own strength. Together the three heaved with all of their might, straining the sinews of their arms until they collapsed in a heap, totally exhausted. Then Tū tried with all his might, using all of his ferocious strength until he fell to the ground with his brothers.

"It is impossible!" cried Tū. "We should kill them. There is no other way to be free."

"Not yet, brother," said Tāne. "Let me try." The god of forests and birds wedged himself between Rangi and Papa, his back to Papa and his feet against Rangi. Using his legs, he began to move the way trees grow in the forest. Slowly but surely, he pushed his legs upward until his parents were wrenched apart. Papa fell and became the Earth, while Rangi rose up to become the sky above. Light flooded into the world that had been created between Rangi and Papa. The brothers rejoiced, and were amazed to find that in the dark, they had birthed many children – the first humans! These offspring fell to Papa, and were warmly received by the Earth, their new home. Tāne, wanting to honor his father above, decorated Rangi with stars.
