How the Kiwi Lost his Wings, retold by Kato
Many years ago, Tanemahuta went for a walk in the forest. He was looking up at his children and he was reaching for the sky. He noticed that they were starting to get sick, as the bugs were eating them. So Tanemahuta talked to his brother, Tanehokahoka, who called all of the children and the birds of the air together and asked if one of the birds would come and live on the forest floor.
First Tanemahuta asked the Tui. Tui looked up at the trees and they saw the sun filtering through the leaves. The Tui looked down at the forest floor, and he saw the cold, dark earth and he shuddered and said no. Then Tanehokahoka turned to the Pukeko to talk. The Pukeko looked down at the forest floor and they saw the wet damp earth and shuddered, and all was quiet and not a bird spoke. Sadness in the heart of the of Tanehokahoka was great, for he knew, that if one of his children didn’t come down from the roof of the forest, his children, would not have any home to live in. Then the Kiwi looked up at the tree, and they saw the sun filtering through the leaves. The Kiwi looked at his family and he looked at the other birds and he said I will. Tanemahuta and his family was very happy. Tanemahuta felt he should warn the Kiwi that he would loose his ability to fly but he would have strong legs and feet to help him search for food on the forest floor. He would become the most beloved in New Zealand.

How The Kiwi Lost Its Wing - retold by Oshyne
In the ancient days,Tanemahuta went for a walk through the forest with his children.He took a look at his children and saw that they were getting sick because the disgusting bugs were eating them.
He called his brother,Tanehokahoka and told him about his children. Then Tanehokahoka called a meeting with the birds and he asked them for help. He wanted them to stay on the forest floor and look after Tanemahuta’s children.
The Tui refused because the forest floor was too dark. The Pukeko did not want to get his feet wet since the forest floor was cold and wet. Pipiwharauroa was busy building his nest so he could not come down.The Kiwi agreed to live on the forest floor and look after Tanemahuta’s children.
Tanehokahoka was happy because the Kiwi had agreed.He told the Kiwi that he would have to lose his beautiful feathers and grow strong legs so that he can tear logs to look for his food.Tanemahuta also blessed the Kiwi and said that he would be the most well known and loved bird of all.
The other birds were punished by Tanemahuta.The Tui had to wear two white feathers at his throat to mark him as a coward.The Pukeko was sent to live in the swamp for ever and Pipiwharauroa never built a nest.
Tanemahuta’s children lived on the forest floor in the care of the kind Kiwi.

Tongakohu lit a fire and began chanting his magic spell.Soon the Tipua giants started feeling tired and they decided to stop marching and take a rest.After a while the Tipua giants wanted to move but they could not because they had slowly turned into rocks.

The Rock Warriors - retold by Apii
Many years ago in the olden days on the Ngongotaha mountain, there were two tribes. It,was pretty, and a nice place to be.The leader of the Patupaiarehe used magic to turn the giants of tipua forest into rocks because the giants were attacking the Patupaiarehe people.When the leader of the Patupaiarehe used magic to change the giants into rocks the giants couldn’t attack the people of the patupaiarehe anymore. Some people say that on a sunny day or a cold day they can hear the rock warriors moaning all the time because they are fighting over something.
The rock warriors are the people that always moans twenty four hours every single day because it’s all over something that must be very special to them.
When the patupaiarehe went walking in the forest the giants of tipua saw them and tried to attack them because they were walking through the giants forest.The giants of tipua is really big and scary but the patupaiarehe does not care because the leader of the patupaiarehe has a spell that can change them into rocks.
The next day the tipu war party marched through the mamaku forest towards Ngongotaha.The Patupaiarehe people became very scared.They asked their leader to save them with his magic spell to change the giants of tipu into rocks.The giants were so mean and very bad their attitude was not nice at all they always love to attack the Patupaiarehe people.
