How The Weka Got His Colourful Spots! by Ella

  There once was a weka, a very plain weka. It had no  character and was just brown. The little weka looked at his  friend and asked, "How come you are so colourful and pretty?"    His friend just looked at him,sighed and then flew away  into  the  sunset and didn't return. As he was flying away the little weka stared after him with a sad face.
 All of a sudden beside him was the prettiest  thing he had  ever seen. It was a RAINBOW!!!!!! . The weka was determined to fly to this rainbow and go  through it, hoping to earn his colours. So off he went on his  journey. About ten minutes later he had reached the rainbow.  He flew right through it. Suddenly he had a funny feeling shooting down his back and a tingle went up his spine. He looked down and saw that he was colourful. He was a very happy little weka.  And that's how the weka got his colourful spots.
