Exsperiment with my buddy
Pouakai the glutten
we went to are marai and learnt some of the moari ledgends and learnt how to retell them
Pouakai the glutten
Once upon a time there was a mountain Mt Torless it was a peaceifull place until a giant bird Pouākai came. when hunters went out to get food Pouakai would swoop down and eat the hunters.
Then People didnt go out to get food any more because of Pouākai because he would swoop down and eat them he was a glutten.
So 40 of the bravest men went out and made a cage at night. Ruru was the fastest runner.
The next day Ruru got Pouākai ateinton and ran into the saftey of the cage and Pouākai kiled half the men with his feet so they cut them off. then he killed some more men with his wing so they cut his wing off and when they finally killed him they killed his babys.
So they can finally go get food it was a happy ending.
