My super Wairaka retell.

Hi reviewer's this is my wairaka story retell   it took me some time to get it done I hope you enjoy it what do you think of this? blog ya later.


The legend of Wairaka

Wairaka and her tribe  were paddling through the glistening water. Wairaka's tribe found an island So the men went to explore the island. When they got on the beach  they felt the warm sun and heard the birds chirping. They also saw the birds flying as the men were walking around on the warm sand. Then they left the woman and children in the waka.

Then a humongous storm happened and the women were screaming and the children were crying.

She had to make a brave choice while the women and children were screaming. she had to make a brave choice and use the paddle which women can’t hold. There were no men on the boat and women weren't allowed to hold the paddle so Wairaka had to make the choice to grab it.

The other problem was there was a storm as loud as a dog’s bark and the boat was going left to right

While the storm was happening the women and children were screaming “were all gonna die ahhh”

Then Wairaka grabbed the waka’s paddle which was forbidden for women to hold. Then she said the words “Kia Whakatane au i ahau” which meant let me act like a man then with one mighty push the waka zoomed back to the island.

Once they zoomed through the humongous  waves and then got back in a speedy time to the island.

The tribe were  feeling exhausted and the women were hugging their husbands and the men were hugging their children and everyone was happy but still shocked.

Once they got back the men said that it was okay to stay at the island. And they did stay there for many years and if you come to the island you’ll see a statue of Wairaka.
