Abel Tasman and the Taniwhas
One misty morning a big, strong taniwha, named Aungarea, was playing and jumping
slowly in and out of the salty sea, showing off his red, spicy scales. He was with his best
friend, Hohoro, who was also a taniwha. but a small, black ninja like taniwha who was
showing off his silky skin. But then Hohoro saw a ginormous waka with his super vision, it
was heading towards Haast.

was heading towards Haast.
They swam very fast back to the village where they decided to follow the ginormous waka
all the way to Haast. Even though Hohoro and Aungarea did not understand the language of
Abel Tasman and his crew they were interested in the story and kept following them back to
the village in what is now known as Greymouth. Aungarea then said to Hohoro, “You cannot
come with me, it is too risky.” But there was no fighting back for Hohoro. Aungarea was too
strong for him.

strong for him.
Aungarea set off with the ship. He didn't know that Hohoro was following the ship up the
South Island, west of Nelson, where the ship stopped short of land and set anchor. That's
where Aungarea found Hohoro. He saw the tribe on shore coming so he took Hohoro to shore,
where they both saw the Māori doing a challenge.

Abel Tasman and his crew just partied all night, firing the cannons because they found people
to trade with. That night the fires were roaring and the Māori were getting ready for war. In the
morning the Māori sent their best fighters to attack but it was a misunderstanding with both
languages.

Abel Tasman sent his best dealer, with the best handshake, out to meet the fighters, plus
Aungarea and Hohoro who were helping the fighters. The dealer got slaughtered and they
went for the ship. Then the ship went back to find Australia, to balance the Earth.

No one has ever seen Aungarea and Hohoro since the attack except me. I see them every night
from my house.
