KIwi-The Kiwi is a native bird of New Zealand. There are not that many kiwi left in this world so this story is an encouragement to help the kiwis expand their numbers. There are only 68,000 left in the world but since their native birds I should say left in New zealand. Last year I read a book saying that kiwis could fly. It was a maori legend ( A myth ) and it said that they called upon all the birds of the forest and tane mahuta asked the birds if anyone wanted to help the forest then no one wanted to do it. Kiwi stood up and said that he would do it. Tane Mahuta said that kiwi would need to get rid of his wings and also have steady legs. He would need to eat the bugs and the ground since they were eating the trees and the trees were getting rotten. Kiwi didn’t want to give up his days in the sky but he knew that it was the right thing to do and so he did it people should take care of the environment not just for the world also for our animals because they live in the that area and i want to stand for that and just like kiwi it is the right thing to do.
Hi Semi
ReplyDeleteWow what a brave kiwi in this myth to give up what he enjoys being in the sky to taking in kaitiaki of the forests ! such a huge responsibility. We are very lucky the department of conservation ensure endangered species like kiwi to thrive so they dont become extinct.
I like your attitude towards dong the right thing, kapai :-)
