Harry's Kaka Legend

Kiwi was as enraged as a charging bull. Kiwi was so angry that he decided to go and see the wise and powerful god of the forest Tane. Tane had created the forest and all its life many years ago, he had never noticed the trouble brewing in the forest so he was baffled when Kiwi appeared to him his face as red as a rose. Kiwi started to complain to Tane about kakas foolish behaviour, Kiwi told Tane that many of the forest birds were getting fed up with kakas constant bragging. Tane silently listened and when kiwi was done he considered his answer before replying that he would go and talk to kaka.

Meanwhile Kaka was flying high above the forest canopy when all of a sudden Kaka was submerged in clouds of all colours they flashed before his eyes coming and going then they started to spin until they were going so fast it was just a blur then Kakas world went black. . . Kaka awoke with a start inside his own home to find Tane towering above him. Tane‘s voice boomed all around Kakas small hollow “ Tell me Kaka, why have you been so rude and arrogant to all the forest birds” Tane spoke in his loud authoritive voice.

“I haven’t” Screeched Kaka “Although I am the most beautiful bird in the forest” “Just because you are a beautiful bird doesn’t mean you have to be arrogant” Spoke Tane and then with a soft POOF Tane was gone. “Huh , he doesn’t scare me” Mumbled Kaka. Kaka then flew out of his hollow and swooped high and low over the forest canopy showing off his feathers. Tane could see all of this display from the heavens above, his body filled with rage and anger Tane came down from the heavens and screamed in Kakas face “ I warned you Kaka, As your punishment you shall fight Moa in a week’s time at the clearing of the half moon” and then with a loud metallic BANG Tane was gone.

Kaka was prettified how on earth was he going to fight moa he would be annulated in less than half a second. Kaka was so terrified that he walked all the way home along the soft forest floor and when other birds came he hid in the bushes until they were well out of earshot. Kaka couldn’t get the fight out of his head. What was he going to do, what could he do. When Kaka finally arrived at his hollow he just lay down on the floor and tried to think of a way to fight. When the morning sun rose Kaka still had no ideas so he decided to go and see his cousin kea to try and get some help.
