KIWI FIGHTS FOR SURVIVAL
Lightning lit up the
early Saturday skies casting deep shadows across the woods and beyond. Kewiki,
a humble kiwi almost afraid of everything was out looking for food. Why? It was
his turn to look for food tonight and he had decided it would easier a task to
do in some light.
He sternly concentrated
his stare to the ground trying to sniff out a delicious fat slimy words… which
he failed, shivering he miserably began the walk home when he smelt it, in
between the stale musty smell of Waiuku woods was the sweet delicious smell of
a juicy slimy fat slimy worm and wasting no time he disappeared into the woods.
Kewiki raced through the
woods heart pounding a million times a minute, hardly controlling his
breathing, two words filled his mind ‘juicy worm’ ‘juicy worm’ but suddenly … NO!!!!! He panicked the sweet smell had vanished and worst of
all he was lost, lost in this endless forest of tall trees, and then all hope disappeared as an ice cold howl filled the forest with dread.
Kewiki heart skipped a
beat he listened contently straining his ears to pick up the slightest sound or
movement… nothing, a terrifying silence filled the air .He expected a wolf to
jump out any second! That’s when he heard it a fierce growl from one of the
bushes. Two bright yellow eyes stared at him. Then it spoke, its voice sounding
like a cat being strangled.
“Run! Little kiwi I LIKE a nice chase from my supper!’
Kewiki was frozen with
fear, a panicking feeling of anxiety rushed over him. He looked around for an
escape route. He suddenly skidded to the right he then slid past the wolf and
ran for his life. Skidding to the left he could feel the wolf’s hot stale
breath and its snapping jaws inches away from his skinny neck. He dived into a
deep bush landing in sticky, slimy puddle of mud; meanwhile the wolf was
coming…
The furious beast skidded
to a sudden stop, “Come out come out!” the wolf declared
“Come out come out
where ever you are!” It strode pass Kewiki’s
bush sniffing the air, but all the wolf could smellwas the disgusting scent of
mud. Frustrated, it swung round and strode away. Kewiki climbed out of the bush
when the wolf jumped out yet again “Got you now you
little twit! There’s no escape now!!’ it hissed, but all of a sudden there was a little voice “Loads, Aim,
Fire!!!” Worms shot out of the trees, so did rocks and twigs, pelting the wolf
and sending him slinking back into the forest. “The Kiwi Brigade!” Kewiki
laughed grinning wildly. Chalk, Kewikis best friend came out from behind a
young tree ‘Hey Tewiki Dows it going?’ There was no reply as Kewiki had fallen
on the ground laughing.
Kewiki was escorted home
safely by the kiwi brigade. That night he snuggled up in his bed, his duties
taken other by the adults. He smiled pleasantly and vowled never to go into the
woods alone again.
