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.
Hello my readers
So today i did a retell about a story of how the south island was made.
Here you go.
First rangi (sky farther) had married Pokoharua-te-po.Then later on they had four children.Their names were Aoraki (The eldest son) ,Rakiroa,Rakirua and Rarakiroa.The all had simular names instead of Aoraki.So then they found out that rangi their farther had fallen in love with Papatuanuku (Earth mother).
Before their farther rangi left to see the earth mother.The four sons jumped into the waka Te waka o Aoraki.And then they said a karakia to go back down to earth and see what and why Rangi was intrested in her instead of their mother.
As they were seing why Rangi their farther didnt like their mother they were more intrested to find land.But there was mostly sea to look at.As they were looking for land they found that a storm was forming.They thought it was their farther telling them to come back home.
So then the eldest son Aoraki said a karakia to make the storm ease and the waka to go back into the heavens.While the other younger brothers was shocked and scared.Their older brother got the karakia wrong and made a mistake.
Instead of rising the were sinking and Te waka o Aoraki had fliped over.So the sons swam on top and it seemed that the western side was much higher than the eastern.So the brothers had to huddle and lean on one side.As they were doing this their hair turned white.And soon they had turn to stone.
Then the brothers turned into mountains and made the southern alps. And the waka turned into the south island.
