Retelling The Legend

 Hello My Readers

Last week we started retelling a legend about a bird called pouaki. Pouaki is a bird that is called a gluten. And he did not do great things.

Here is my retell

There was a bird called Pouāki that on a mountain called Mt Torlesse.There was water that had been shaped that was from that mountain to sea. And on the mountain there was Raupo,Toi Toi and Harakeke.

Every single day Pouāki would sit on that mountain and wait until hunters from a Pā would find food.The glutton would swoop down and scoop them and take them back to he/his nest and then eat them.This keeps happening everyday until Ruru (One of the people in the Pā) had a plan. 

Ruru chose 40 of the bravest men to go on this mission. Overnight Ruru and his 40 men built a cage for them.As soon as they were finished building the cage they made sure that the door was easy to shut and lock.Then Ruru waited in front of Pouāki’s nest until he had to run from Pouāki.

Ruru ran into the cage with the other 40 men and started a fight. Some people manged to cut of his two claws.By then he killed some people.Then people cut of his wings so he had no way of attacking them. By then Pouāki had killed many of the men and only a quarter men alive.Then when he couldn't attack. Ruru and his other people started to clubbed Pouāki to death.

Then they had a feeling that Pouāki had children.So they climbed Mt Torlesse and halfway through they heard this beautiful noise.They thought it was Pouāki little's morning for them. So they memorize the sound and keeped climbing. As they reached the top, without hesitation they killed the little ones. Then after that they could catch the food they wanted and eat.They lived happily ever after.
