Moehuri

Many dark clear nights ago Moehuri went out to sea and
went on his waka. He came from Hawaiki to Mangonui. The
stars were shining like diamonds in the night sky which led him
to land. Before very long, Moehuri did a karakia to the enormous
shark called Mangonui. The giant shark jumped out of the
water and guided him to Mangonui.

There were lots of children at the pa belonging to Moehuri.
They noisily played all over the mare. Eventually Moehuri
sunk his waka and it is a tapu plase. The giant shark lived by
the waka for many years.

Raff the Dog

Me and Kyle like to play with my Mum’s dog Raff. Raff’s fur is warm
and fluffy. The problem is Raff is silly because

he loves chasing cars. Sometime's Raff chases the school bus.
He even chases us, as we arrive home.  Mum angrily points her
finger and says “No Raff, no!” and he still keeps on doing it.
Sometimes mum keeps him on the leash.

But I still love him,no matter how silly he is.
