Ngakuku, 20 children and the worker escaped but Tarore was sound asleep. Te Arawa a warrior killed her and took the special kete with the book. Then Tarores father went back to look for her and when he found her, she was lying on the ground dead but he thought of the words of peace.The warrior who killed Tarore read the book of peace and in it, it said love your enemies.The warrior felt sad so he went to Ngakuku and said to him will you forgive me.

Orientation

On a sunny bright day I take one step and dust comes in my eyes then I see I’m in a dirt track. I look around and I see a little boy on a mini bike high up in the air, then in my mind I fear for him. My heart starts to beat faster and faster then I get butterflies in my tummy. I say what if this is a dream, I open my eyes wide and it’s true I really see a young boy on a mini bike.

Body  

Then I say in my head, I will never let my kid on a mini bike. My face is flush to see if this is really happening.

My body starts shaking and my muscles tighten. I turn around and see a beautiful tree nice and green.

Conclusion

I fear for him and the caretaker is  calm.

I feel so much fear that I’m tense and I start sweat, does the caretaker even realizes the kid needs safety. He can end up in hospital if he fell off his mini bike.
