How the Kiwi Lost its Wings.

Once upon a time, about one thousand years ago, the kiwi was in the tree tops because the kiwi could fly as fast as the other birds.
One day there was a plague of insects and Tane Mahuta said to all of the birds, “Which of you will live on the forest floor? He asked Cuckoo and she said, “No Sorry.” He asked Morepork and he said no too. “Sorry.” He asked Tui. She said, “No. Sorry.” Finally he asked Pukeko. He said, “No, I cannot do that.” After that he asked Kiwi and he said, “Yes.” “Are you sure that you want to lose your colourful wings?” “Yes.” “Are you going to live on the ground?” “Yes.”
Tui got a white feather. Pukeko got to live on the swampy lands. Cuckoo had to steal other birds’ nests. Morepork lives in the darkness. Kiwi lived on the floor. That’s how Kiwi lost its wings.
