summer learning journey DAY 3: Awesome Animals Activity 1: Fantastic Beasts

THE LIVING STATUE

As I stood staring in terror, the deadly
black
slit seemed to swallow me up. The
weight
of the 15 ton giant, thumped into the
dusty
sand, like a runaway steam roller. And
now
the smell of bloody meat and bones
slithered up my nostrils and slid down
my
spinal cord.  

I knew I should be running for my life but
its ātaahua (beauty) held me rigid.   

It looks like someone has painted a
masterpiece on a scaly moss kakariki
(green) canvas and then spray painted
highlights on parts of it.  The fiery
yellow
eyelids look like a warm summer sunset
on a clear kengo (night). Its beauty is
shattered by a mighty belch that
sounds
like a tīhara (diesel) truck backfiring.
He ran as fast as a golf cart that had
been
biffed of a cliff.          

I say to myself, “Damn, I didn’t think
my
day could get any worse!”
