Kakariki by Maddie

A long time ago there were two birds who lived in the trees and bushes of New Zealand.  Their names were Kaka and Kakariki.  Kaka had dull, dusty, old, brown feathers but Kakariki had beautiful bright red feathers.  Kaka was jealous of his beautiful feathers so Kaka played a trick on Kakariki.  Kaka said to Kakariki that everyone was laughing at his feathers but they weren’t.   Kaka said, “here give the feathers to me.  I will hide them under my wings.”  “Okay,” said Kakariki and he gave them to Kaka.  So then he started to show off the feathers but Kakariki said to himself, “he tricked me.”  So Kakariki felt gloomy and he went off to the bushes and he grew some green feathers.  He did not feel special anymore.  He wanted his red feathers back but it was too late.
