Taku Mokai

For the past couple days we have been learning how to introduce in māori. We had to introduce what animal it was, what colour it is, what its name is and if we knew all that we added what it liked eating and drinking and what it likes playing. Down below is my poster about my pet.

Have you ever heard of the Dreamgiver? Well,
the dream giver is a magical creature who has wings
like a butterfly and clothes like a goblin and brown
leather goggles to protect her eyes from the moon light.
Now  I'll tell you about one of her adventures.
One dark and scary night, she was flying through a
window as usual with her special dream eggs. She
went over to a child and cracked one of her dream
eggs on a panda toy to give the kid a dream of a panda
and she did it to the next child and the next and the next. 

When she was about to leave, an egg fell and cracked on
a scary book and this created a nightmare for the poor
innocent child. The kid was in terror. The Dreamgiver
got into the kids dream where the child  was fighting a
monster. She went to the monster and said, ‘‘Bippity,
boppity, boo. Begone monster!’’ The dream was over.
The Dreamgiver fluttered her wings and flew out the window and said, ‘‘Happy dreams kids’’. The dream giver gives dreams with magical eggs. You will never see her because she only gives dreams to sleeping children and don’t try to fake sleep because she can tell!
