How the kiwi lost its wings

How the kiwi Lost Its Wings

It was a good day and Tanemahuta was walking through the forest. When he looked up at his children, he saw that they were getting sick because all the bugs were eating them.

He talked to his brother Tanehokahoka, who called his children the birds of the air together with them.

Tanemahuta asked the birds to help him by coming down to the forest floor and living with his children. All was quiet and not a bird spoke.x1

Then the Tui said that the forest floor was too dark and he was afraid of the darkness. The Pukeko said that the forest floor was too wet and cold and he did not want to wet his feet. Pipiwharauroa was busy building his nest so he could not come down.

Tanehokahoka looked at the Kiwi. The Kiwi looked up at the trees and saw his family. Then the Kiwi agreed to live on the forest floor.

Tanemahuta was happy because the Kiwi                   agreed to live on the forest floor. Tanemahuta told the Kiwi that he would lose his feathers and had to grow strong feet to survive on the forest floor.

Then Tanehokahoka turned to the other birds, and he punished them. The Tui had to wear two white feathers to show that he was a coward. Pukeko had to live in the swamp forever. Pipiwharauroa was never allowed to build a nest again and had to lay its eggs in other birds nests.

He blessed the Kiwi because of his great sacrifice. The Kiwi became the most well known and most loved bird of them all.

Tane Mahuta's children lived safely with the Kiwi on the forest floor.

My holidays

Wow my holiday was great.....all of a sudden my dog started to bark. I looked out of my window and I saw Jerome with his Aunty in his car. It was cool that I got picked up by Jerome and we went to Blockbusters and hired one scary game.

It was called the 'Dead Island Ripted.' When we got it, I was so happy. When we got to his house Jerome was the first one to play it.

I was playing so much that the batteries ran out of battery juice. It was one of the best holidays of my life.
