In this story their is a Taniwha that learns how to fly by her friend Rereroa. Rereroa gives some suggestions to the Taniwha Awarua.
Awarua was a Taniwha who lived in Porirua harbor hundreds of years past. Awarua would always swim out to Te Moana o Raukawa to look for some food and then swim back to the harbor, that's her home.
Sometime’s Awarua would chat with her friend Rereroa the albatross. Awarua loves to talk and hear about the things
Rereroa saw over the ocean.
The albatross could fly for many days. Awarua wished that she could fly and glide in the sky like Rereroa. Rereroa gives Awarua some advice on how to fly.
The Taniwha wings are too weak so the friend suggests that she puts stones on her wings .
After all the training Rereroa taught Awarua had to give it her best and try and get into the air. Rereroa told the Taniwha to flap her wings hard and try lift up her weight so that she could get into the air.
As the Taniwha slowly gets into the air she could hear Rereroa shouting the Taniwha new the the other side was near by.
The Taniwha was coming towards the other side of the mountain
She tried to lift up her weight, it was too late she landed down on the mountain with a thump skimming off the top as she fell into the ocean unhurt but very astonished.
When Awarua got out of the ocean she raced full speed to Rereroa with joy and excitement saying did you see me fly
And glide.
