Tears of the Albatross

Tears of the Albatross is about a man called Timoti who is jealous because the tohunga had Albatrosses as his servants and Timoti wasn’t. Timoti had decided to see the tohunga so he dressed in his nicest clothes and went to see the tohunga. Timoti knew winter was coming up but he wanted the Albatrosses to take him home but he didn’t tell the tohunga that. The tohunga said to Timoti he will guide him home with his Albatrosses. So the Albatross took him home and Timoti had a different plan and it was to capture the Albatrosses so he did and he looked them in a cave and got a giant rock to cover the gap of the cave.


Tamaira and Naeroa saw Timoti block the cave with the big rock and when Timoti went Tamaira and Naeroa squeezed into the cave and  heard something crying they were getting scared. When they saw the Albatrosses they weren’t so scared any more. They stayed there but then the cave got blocked and only the Albatrosses were trapped but so was the twins Tamaira and Naeroa. Tamaira looked at the top of the cave and saw a star so they all climbed up and squeezed out of the little gap. The Albatrosses thanked the twins and gave a gift and it was the Albatrosses soft white feathers and they lived happily ever after.
