In a forest deep in the centre of the South Island of New Zealand, there lived a Tui and a Kea. Tui was a beautiful show off who had marvelous wings. Kea was a cheeky bugger that loves stealing things especially when they are valuable and shiny. Kea recently broke one of his wings. One day Kea decided to search for something shiny to complete his great nest and his best friend Tui came along.
After searching for hours they decided to conclude their quest. Until Tui remembered the creek, “lets go,” he wailed Kea wasn't too sure but he went along with it. When they saw the creek a gulp of saliva went down Tui’s throat, stunned he was about to let out a sentence when Kea yelled “what, scared of a little height?” when out of the corner of his eye Kea spots a shiny bolt stuck into a branch. Kea pulled hard and eventually it comes free but at the same time down falls the tree. A chain reaction begins, the tree falls then the landscape starts falling suddenly they are on the run.
“Run Kea run!” calls Tui above. “Ohh na,” replies Kea. Suddenly Tui noticed a tree this was an old one too then a crack! It was going to hit Kea and he knew it. Tui swooped down and before he knew it he was out, Tui had totally misjudged it, he was falling.
Kea felt a tingle in his wing… It was healed Kea gave a slight smirk, he spread his wings and off he was he grasped onto Tui and took him home where he thinks he will be a hero. Well he thought wrong, Tui did not remember anything prior to that day. When he woke up he stood and cascading to the ground was a silver bolt. Kea let out a scream “YIPEE” it was his bolt.
