This is a recap of my myths that I wrote and made up. Hope you like them.😃
Sandy Beach
Characters
The singing trees: Melody, Harmony, Redwood and rhythm
The crazy humans: Father, Timber, Tom and Terry.
Narrator.
Narrator: People may wonder how sand was created well I know how. Here is how I think sand was made. By the way this is true.
One day down close to where the forest meets the water there was a big family of singing trees. But what the singing trees didn’t know that there was a family of crazy humans. One day The father said to his sons.
THe Father: You boys are going to have to cut some trees down so you can have dinner and have a room to sleep in.
The boys: Yes Sir! ! ! ( they said altogether.)
Narrator: Meanwhile harmony was singing a song and so was everyone else but what they didn’t notice was that one of the singing trees disappeared in thin air.
Rhythm: What happened to my back up beat? Oh No ! ! Look, guys, he’s been cut, all you can see is his stump.
Redwood: Okay time for attack no one just cuts down our back up beat. Trees jet as many stones as possible.
Melody: Hey! You there, what do you think you're doing, this is our property not yours.
Timber: We’re just cutting down trees. Crack! Timbers! ! ! ( shouted Timber.)
Narrator: Another tree fell to the ground.
Harmony: Attack ! ! ! (shouted harmony)
Terry: Missed us.
Tom: Yeah missed us.
Narrator: As the singing trees kept throwing, the crazy boys kept dodging the rocks and the rocks kept breaking into little bits and they kept getting smaller and smaller until they were like grains of sand. Then a wind blew the sand all across the world and that’s how sand was made. If you want to know what happened to the trees well there fine but they did die, of age. About the first bit, this isn’t really true, or is it?
The Falling Stars
Do you know an island could Kapiti island, well I do? Now days Kapiti island is a place to let your worries float free, it is truly a beautiful place. It’s covered with wildlife and as the sun creeps up in the horizon and it wakes up all the birds, the sound is fantastic. Most of Kapiti island is beautiful rocks and walks with the most gorgeous trees draped over the rocky hills like a blanket. Kapiti island is truly magnificent, but the question is, how did it get there? I think I know, here is what I think it was created.
One night with the stars sparkling above a country could New Zealand down by a place could Kapiti coast. There was a little boy named Taui, little Taui was staring up at the stars wondering what It would be like to be a star. Soon he dozed off into a dreamless sleep. Meanwhile, deep in our galaxy, there were three stars they were could Jem, Glimmer and Diamond they were the most beautiful stars in the whole galaxy, expressly Gem, Oh, how beautiful Gem was people on earth even could her the north star. But that all might change. The stars were singing for all the little stars but they didn’t know was that something was watching them something anger, something, annoying this thing was back on earth it, it was a… a… star, it was a star it was a star that had fallen a long time ago and the only way for him to get back up was if to stars would fall and crash and then he would go flying into space. Now this star was a trickster and he had a HUGE plan and when I say huge I mean HUGE. So this star grabbed these MASSIVE, boulders and made sure his aim was perfect and when it was, he threw those rocks into the sky and they hit, Glimmer and Diamond, as fast as Gem could she grabbed them both but because she was so delicate she had to let go. Just then the trickster star went flying up into space and landed right next to a Gem, oh! I forgot to tell you he loved Gem so that's why he targeted Glimmer and Diamond. Anyway, Glimmer and diamond crashed into the water and made the biggest splash ever and formed an island.
That enormous crash woke up Taui when he saw the island he thought that we could it Kapiti island, well, that's what his mum thought. That's how I think Kapiti island was made.
Why The Colour
These days Butterflies are gorgeous magnificent creatures. Their wings are what makes them stand out - they were bright and colourful like a rainbow, and when they flew they sparkled like a diamond in sunlight or like bright stars on a starry night. But I’ve always wondered how they got their magnificent wings and now I think I know why
Long ago when the sun glistened as it went down and when the birds sang their happy songs all day long, there were butterflies but their wings were plain white and boring. All the other bugs made fun of them because they weren’t white they were green, red and other colours. But the butterflies knew that one day they wouldn’t be able to handle it they didn’t know when but it was going to happen. That day had arrived but the butterflies didn’t know but Jem did, Jem is a beauty fairy she gives people and animals beauty but she could not give bug's beauty. Back in the forest the butterflies were being teased again, “ your not pretty were nice and bright,”sang the other bugs that's when it hit them, they all of a sudden it hit them they screamed and shouted and stamped their feet so hard that it made an ENORMOUS earthquake which shook the whole world and from that earthquake, a tiny speck of sunlight which shone like a thousand fireflies came from the skies , all the other bugs went to hid because they didn’t like being yelled at. Jem the beauty fairy was watching and practice here magic then she stopped and looked at the butterflies then she realised that she could turn bugs beautiful , that speck of light was here magic. So flattered over to the butterflies and got out her wand and once again there was the gorgeous speck of light but this time it split and stuck to the butterfly's wings and transformed their wings plain old boring wings into dazzling sparkly wings.
As the bugs came out of hiding they were shocked , to see the butterflies wings so beautiful then they came over and said sorry to the butterflies, and that’s certainly how butterflies wings are so dazzling now.
The Liger
By Krystal
Have you ever been in an earthquake before? I have, it started early on Monday morning when the whole of New Zealand woke with a great shake. Lot’s of damage was made and lot’s of people had to evacuate from their homes because of warnings of tsunamis. But the thing is I’ve never wondered where they come from and now definitely now so here is how I think earthquakes are credited.
Long long ago in the time the dinosaurs were around there was this creature could a Liger ( the liger is part lion and part tiger). The liger is much more powerful than a dinosaur, it is taller than a Brachiosaurus ( which is the tallest dinosaur) and it is deadlier than a Spinosaurus, (which is the most deadly dinosaur to ever live ). But the liger was very lonely, for it was the only one alive because it’s family had died from eating an Ackee fruit ( which the seed in it contains some very dangerous poisons ).
Most of the dinosaurs never really saw the Liger, because it lived in a cave hidden in a mountain, he ever only came out to hunt for meat. One day the Liger went hunting but as he was walking he had an unsuspected visitor this unsuspected visitor was a very small but fast dinosaur.
“ Hello, my name is Dusty, they call me dusty because when I run super fast I get dusty.” What is your name?”
“ I’m Liger.”
“ Well liger, can I be your friend because I don’t have any, because I get too dusty.”
“ Sure, but don’t talk so fast it’s annoying.”
“ Ok! Will Do!!”
So they headed off to the lake. On the way to the lake Dusty said to liger.
“ Do you want to have a race.”
“ Sure.”
As they ran to the lake the ground started to shake, trees started to fell down and rocks fell off the cliffs. It was a terrible site for the animals and the worst thing was some of the dinosaurs died from getting buried in the rocks and dirt.
Senicest now knows how earthquakes have shaken the world it’s all because of the liger that earthquake shake the world so hard that it has caused all the earthquakes that have happened ever since, and it’s all because of the liger.
