Narrative Retell:  "Did you shake your tail feather?"

One horribly cold day Weka was walking wisely up the mountain when he found this little tiny rainbow feather lying down on teh dusty sand.   He picked it up and said, "I must return this feather to the owner."  So on his way he met Kahu and said, "Did you shake your tail?"  "No," said Kahu.  "Well le me use it to clean my nest."  "No! It's too beautiful for that!", said Weka.

Then he ran away but Kahu followed him.  Next he met Karearea the New Zealand Falcon bird and said, "Did you shake your tail?" asked Weka.  "No!," said Karearea.  "Well let me use it for my baby."  

"No!," said Weka.  So off he ran away from Kahu and Karearea, who were fighting eachother about the feather.

Later on, Weka met Kiwi.  "Did you shake your tail feather?," he asked.  "What?," Kiwi laughed.  "No.  I have brown feathers.  Sorry," said Weka.  "It's okay.  Let me jsut use it for cleaning."

"No!," said Weka in a raised voice.  "It's far way too beautiful for that,"  Weka said.  The he ran away.

He didn't notice that Kahu, Karearea and Kiwi were following behind.  Then he met Pukeko and said, "Did you shake your tail feather?"  "Oh yes," said Pukeko.  Pukeko opened his tail feather behind and there was a match of the feather that Weka was holding on his hand.  It was so shiny and beautiful.

Then Pukeko gave thanks to Weka and blew away the others with his tail feather behind.  

So now Weka had returned the feather to the owner.

I hope you enjoyed my narrative.
