ever and they followed it till they found the pretty wahine. They all fell in love
except Mitai he said they were harmful but they did not listen after that they
when back to the village after weeks the wahine made the brothers weak, have
no food and did not care about what they looked like. One day the wahine
were no where to be seen so Mitai went to look for them and when he found
them he turned into a bird and watch them. They were making a plan to starve
the brothers to death. Mitai when back to his brothers and warned them. The

The End
Hi there Jess,
ReplyDeleteYou have paid really good attention to all the little details included in the story, I'm very impressed! I feel like you have told me the entire story all over again, not just the summary, and I thank you for that because I got to enjoy the story for another time!
Overall, did you enjoy this story? It's very creative isn't it? The most interesting part of the story to me was when Mitai's brothers began to lose their looks, something that was so important to them, just because they got distracted by the looks of someone else. It really teaches you a lesson about appreciating what you already have, don't you think? Who's your favourite character and what was the best part of the story for you?
You really are a star, Jess, keep soaring high!! ☆
Best,
Evelyn :)
