The fiasco at the stream

In the weekend I went to Kapiti island with my cousin Tui. My family owns some of the island. On Kapiti there is a little stream with eels in it.

 Tui had spotted two feathers in the water and ordered me to go and lure the eels away. (If you want to lure a eel away you need to create ripples in the water) I grabbed a Long stick and some stones and dropped them into the water. As soon as the eel had gone, Tui rolled up her pants and careful clambered into the water but the eel sensed her ripples and speed over to her and bit her on the ankle. She screamed and I screamed. she raced out of the water. Then she made a video on her phone and I thought she was being stupid. 

In the end we totally forgot of the fiasco at the stream.

    Hi Leo, this is Emma from Karoro School.
    Kapiti Island sounds cool. I hope Tui was okay after being bitten by the eel! At a wildlife place in Hokitika I was told eel bites are painless but the wounds bleed like crazy. I wish I knew what Kapiti Island was like in person. I googled it and it is so pretty. It sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe next time you post a story make sure that there is not such a huge gap between the top of the text and the bottom of the page.
    Keep up the good work.

    Kapiti island sounds cool and it looks fun. And I hope Tui was okay after being bitten by an eel.Where I lived for five year I lived near a stream of eels and the stream ran down by my old house. My middle name is Tui, do you like the name? I enjoyed reading your story .Maybe next time you post a story make sure that there is not such a huge gap between the top of the text and the bottom of the page. Keep the good work going on.
