KIWI’S SOLUTION

What will the kiwi say?

Chloe and Joey walked for miles until they needed a rest. They were now feeling very alone. Chloe took a deep breath and sat very quietly. The aromas of the forest were like nothing she had ever smelled before. She wasn’t used to being in the wild. Henry had told them that kiwis came out mainly at night, so they would have to wait and be very quiet. It was already sunset. They waited and waited, then fell asleep for a quick nap.

Suddenly they both heard a snuffling noise and opened their eyes. Even though it was night the full moon shone down on a little clearing and there was kiwi, wearing a magnificent jacket of fluffy pinkish-brown feathers and a very long pointy bill.

Joey and Chloe sat up. “Wow! We’ve finally found a kiwi! I wonder if this one can help us?” they thought. Fascinated they watched for several minutes. Then Joey started making funny little coughing sounds: “uch, uch, uch, uch”.

The kiwi stopped and looked in their direction “Who is that?”

Joey said “It’s me, Joey, a kangaroo from Australia. I have come to seek your advice. Please will you help us?”

The kiwi looked at the little girl – “I’m Chloe. I’ve come to help Joey, my friend, and all his family. Will you help?”

The kiwi said “Help you? How can we help you? We’re in grave danger ourselves.

If we don’t know the solution to our problem, how can we help you with yours?” Chloe replied “May I call you Mr Kiwi?”

The kiwi replied “My name is Kiwi, with a capital K. Only very wise kiwis can call themselves Kiwi, the rest are just kiwi with a small ‘k.’ It takes a lot of time alone in the forest, listening to the Earth and watching the stars in the sky to know the secrets they hold. Young kiwis who run around all day only thinking about what to eat and not paying attention to the deeper mysteries around us do not have that wisdom.”
