Lots of years ago all the birds were different. Kiwi was up in the trees. Tui had no white thing on his throat. Pukeko didn’t like water at all. Morepork was awake all day. One day there was a plague of bugs. Tane Mahuta tried to get the birds to kill the plague but Kiwi did. He lived on the ground for the rest of his life.
Tane Mahuta said to Morepork, “Go and live in the dark forest.” “Pukeko go and get your feet wet.” “Tui I will now put a white thing on your throat,” and everybody lived happily ever after.
