The Star fishes

A long time ago there was a mother fish with her tamariki fish. One day the tamariki went outside to play a game of tag. Their mother said to stay beside the rocks because that was the day Tataraimaka was going fishing with his net. His net was made out of magic. The fish went on playing and had so much fun playing that they forgot their mother’s warning and before long the sea was salty with their tears because the fish were in the net of Tataraimaka, the giant. Tane, the god of light, was so sad for the fish he lifted up the net and threw it up in the air. The fish are now star fishes. Their names are Toheti,Toheta,Tupuanuku,Tupu-a-Rangi ,Urangi and Waipuna-a-Rangi. One is lefted nameless so if a child is lonely it could name it his or her name so they can have a friend.

Detective rat

They call him detective rat
He’s brown and cuddly small and snuggly
Wearing his brown
Jacket and hat.

Detective rat tripped on a mat
Went for a ride
And shivered in side
The mat led him into a rat.

He ran away as fast as a horse
And couldn’t stop
And by five minutes
He had stopped and told his friend borse.
