This is my story and it is about Kupe and the giant Wheke. In this story Kupe is a person and one of the first Polynesian’s to arrive in Aoetearoa. This is my very own story, I am pretending to be Kupe. A little hint, I help an octopus from not being evil and selfish.
I am also learning about paragraphs, I have learned that when a person is talking and finish’s you put 2 spaces.
Have fun reading it!
One day I saw a huge Octopus! “My god! There’s an Enormous Octopus eating fish! I’m going to find out who the owner is!”
I tried figuring out who the owner was for days. Until I saw the owner with the Octopus! I was thinking I should go visit the owner. After a couple of days, I went to visit.
“Oh hello there! My name is Kupe! “I said
“Oh uh hey! My name is Muturangi. What do you want?” Muturangi said. I was wondering “why do you let your Octopus eat fish??”
“I mean, don’t you think you should feed him instead?” I said,
Muturangi replied back saying “how dare you say that! I want to let him free!”
I replied “but it’s a little selfish don’t you think?”
Muturangi shouted back saying “NO I WILL ALWAYS LET HIM BE FREE! NOW LEAVE!”
I left after that, I didn’t want Muturangi to stop me, so I tried getting my wife to chase Te Wheke with me. We went on a very LONG journey. We tried catching Te Wheke for ages! But unfortunately we started thinking of giving up. Until Te Hine – Aparangi saw a big white cloud! She knew it was land! But she also knew it was Aotearoa! My dog and I went to the harbour bridge and many other places!
I wanted to explore more but I knew I still had to find Te Wheke, so I went back on my waka and found some calabashes to try crapture Te Wheke. After a few days of getting some calabashes, I went to the cave Te Wheke was in. I felt very nervous trying to catch Te Wheke because I knew he was dangerous because of his long tentacles. I was waiting all day for Te Wheke to come out of the cave. In the Afternoon’s Te Wheke finally came
“hmmm MMMM THERE’S SOME YUMMY FISH!”
That was the time I had to pull out my magic tricks! I pulled out the net and caught him!
“Ouch!” Te Wheke said.
“LET ME GO!!!!”
“No! You have to be taught a leason to not eat fish! If you listen to me I will feed you something everyday”
Te Wheke grined but knew it was a good choice too.
“Fine!! You better feed me!”
“I will, now let’s go home and feed you”
The End.
