Taniwha Writing

The Protector of the Bush and Forest.

Once upon a time in a dark and dismal
forest there lived a taniwha. He is the
protector of the forest. His name is

Cutalot  He protected the forest with
a chainsaw  and a weed wacker. He
was 16 metres long and 2 metres tall
he liked to eat big macs and  
cheeseburgers.

One warm, sunny day a beautiful woman
called Hangitangi walked along the stone
covered beach where Cutalot lived. He
instantly fell in love with her. He wanted
her for himself. Her beauty astounded him,
her soot black hair blew in the calm breeze,
her sapphire blue eyes glimmered under
the fiery orange sun.  

Slowly Cutalot crept towards her and pulled
her into his pool. He said, “GET IN MA POOL
BOII.”

Over time Hangitangi fell in love with Cutalot.
In fact, Cutalot and Hangitangi become
leaders and heroes of the forest.   They did
this by eliminating all bad weeds and pests.
One day Cutalot found some gorse so he
walked off into the woods to get his
sprayer…
