The Chicken fair

“It is the day of the fair, People gathering from near and far come around to win the prize for best chicken, so my only question is this Mr Boxtrotter... why did you do it.” said Chief Brain with a angry tone in his voice. “ Because I  felt like it, why do you care anyway.” whispered Box acting like he was innocent (but everyone knows he’s not).

While Chief Brain is interrogating Box I’m watching the recording from the police station. Someone stole MY chicken and I know it was him ever since he pushed me into the lake and my boat sank and shoved me in a box.

You know what I’ll tell you what happened from the beginning. It all started 24 hours ago; I was getting my chicken ready for the annual California chicken fair. I was entered in the most weirdest chicken contest and I had a real winner even my brother Tap thought so and he won every year; but not this year this year it was my turn. Well that’s what I thought until that dreadful day came. I put the chickens in the barn locked it and went back inside to bed. The next day I went to check on the chickens to feed them but to my surprise my prize chicken Clucky was gone. I was in such a state of shock that I didn’t know what to do but scream “ MUM, DAD, TAP ANYONE HELP HELP!” Tap came running to the barn and in a frantic mood said “ What’s wrong, what’s happened, why are you screaming.” I told him what happened I was so upset. Then I remembered that I had set up the security system so I grabbed the video files and watched them.

 I opened up the file with last nights footage on it. I watched closely when a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows of the night. He was tall and wide wearing nothing but black leather and the thing that stood out was that hideous, crisp apple green, jagged hair it looked like grass that hadn’t been maoed in a year. As soon as I saw the hair on the camera footage I had from the barn I new that it was… Box Boxtrotter, with a monumental sized bat he waltzed up to the the barn where the chickens were staying and broke down the door. He walked inside and nothing happened for 30 minutes but then I saw him walking out with Clucky MY prize chicken. I put the file on a hard drive and went to my brother “ I found out who stole Clucky.” I told him “ Well then you need to go to Chief Brain and show him the file.” Said Tap with a brave look in his eye but however me being me ( a shy little nerd ) I didn’t want to go to the police. “ No Tap I’m scared to what if they think that I’m lying or just trying to get a laugh.” “ They won’t Chief Brain knows you well enough that you wouldn’t do that.” Said Tap reassuring me “ and besides I’ll come with you we can tell the Chief together.” “ Thanks Tap you know me better than anyone.” “Well we better get going if you want Clucky back the fair starts in 1 hour.” said Tap trying to rush me. “ 1 HOUR! That’s not enough time!”

“ I know let’s go.” We ran as fast as we could to the police station to report a missing Chicken ( witch happens a lot more often than you think ).

The police station isn’t the most cleanest place you could ever be in, it’s a sticky, sweaty, smokey pit of disappear filled with criminals. “ Tap I’m scared.” I said shaking in fear. “ I know but Chief Brains office is just around the corner.” We walked around the corner to see the Chief. “ Tap and Sink Water what are two country folks like you doing here at the station. You haven’t done anything have you?” said Chief Brain hoping that we didn’t do anything. “ We are here to report a missing chicken.” said Tap while I was hiding behind him. “ Ok do you have any idea who stole it?” “ Yes we have a hard drive with footage on it from last night.” Tap said having no fear in the world. It must have got it all. “ Alright I’ll look over it right now so we can get you chicken back.” “ Thank you .” I said trying to speak as  quietly as possible.

5 minutes later Chief Brain came back “ Well it’s quite obvious who stole your chicken. Box Boxtrotter.” “ Can you catch him. Pleaded Tap. “ Sure no problem. But let's hurry the contest is about to start.” In a rush of panic everyone ran out the door to the police station to catch the chicken thief. We arrived at the fair and searched for the one who stole my chicken. We looked and looked but no success until we heard the blood curdling sound of Chief Brains whistle. “ Your coming with me Mr Boxtrotter for breaking in and stealing a chicken.” Chief Brain handed me Clucky. “ Thank you Chief.” I whispered hoping he wouldn’t hear me but… he did. “ That’s no problem this happens more often than you think.” Chief Brain took Box back to the station and asked him a bunch of questions, his case was taken to court and he was given 10 years behind bars. And that was my day.

Kopuwai and the Clever girl- Retold by Brian Potiki

My summary on this story was about. The Maori legend of Kopuwai ( the monster ) and Kaiamio ( the clever girl ).  Kaiamio went out to search for Moa nests but on her way she got distracted and Kopuwai’s two headed dogs grabbed her and took her to Kopuwai’s cave. When she got there Kopuwai made a rope and tied it to Kaiamio’s ankle and made her do all of his chores.

But Kaiamio is very clever and builds a boat and sets herself free. Kopuwai found out and drank the river to try and find her again. Kaiamio told her tribe and they suck revenge they traveled to where Kopuwai was and lit it on fire.
