Kupe headed out to the turbulent and dangerous waters in a waka to kill the octopus who kept stealing their bait. He and his crew were on the sea for days. They were hungry,tired,and scared.
Suddenly "Boom!" a tentacle flopped onto the waka. The mad beast kept on chucking and throwing people into the sea! Kupe bolted up, grabbed his sword and axe, and started to fight. After slaying the octopus, he raised his weapon in a sign of victory!
Kupe's wife saw an island in the distance so they sailed towards it. They were very happy and called their new land Aotearoa.

Really exciting writing Esrah! (get the rhyme?)
ReplyDeleteI love your use of action words and interesting language. I'm not sure about the sword though; -I think Kupe may have had a taiaha and a putu or mere.
Excellent work mate. Keep it up!
