We are writing about our experience at the Mahuika Show. 

Yesterday we left school to go to a excellent show.

In the beginning there were two sisters called Kahu and Sissy. They were out in the garden doing  jobs with Nan. Kahu was complaining that sissy  wasn't doing  jobs. Kahu and sissy found a magic kete and the last buring finger nail of mahuika came out of the kete potiki turned Nan to coal kahu and sissy had to save Nan. They followed potiki to the under would to mahuika on the way pukeko kidnapped potiki and took potiki  to mahuika because mahuika put a curse on pukekos beak because pukeko was being bad.
