Once upon a time there was a little Girl called Emma she is very shy and Emma is very tricky . she lived in the middle of the forest in a pa with her 7 muscly older brothers the pa was very small because it only has 5 huts at the moment cuz they were still building the other huts.Emma loved it when everyone gathered around the fire when it was cold .At midnight all you could hear was the sparrows chirping and the fire burning .
.That night Emma was thinking about how the others made the fire in the pa .so Emma filled each container and slowly poured freezing cold water Into the fire and went back to bed . In the morning around 8.30 everyone woke up and they where more than furies at Emma because she had put out the fire’s. they shouted at Emma GO TO THE VOLCANO AND GET US MORE FIRE NOW !!!!.But no one wanted to go with her only her friends the birds Rupe,Huia,Tui,Pukeko,kiwi,piwakawaka and gourd .When Emma was Running the 20 km the ground got dryer and dryer like a desert and the wind got hotter as Emma got closer to the volcano she like she was usain bolt and she had run 30 laps around two fields .finally she got to the volcano and a river. Stay here friends so i can go in along .As Emma was walking in she saw a old lady sitting next to a fire with fire red tikis around her .Hello said Emma you must be my aunty Rebekah .Can i please have some of your flames Emma asked her aunt .the old lady held her fingers and said taking a nail of her thumb take good care of this flame Emma. but i had a plan.Emma went out of the volcano and throw the flame in the water but when he went back into the volcano her 1st excuse was it started raining and it got burnt out .Emma’s aunt gave Emma another flame but she said take better care of this one Emma when I was out of her site I throw that one into the river again and this excuse was that I bumt into a tiki and it snacth it out my hands .then the next one was,a taniwha took it ,the eel caught it.now her aunt is on to her last one and she was so furis at her she came out the flaming hot volcano with an evil face and all her cloths turn into flames .with all her power she blasted her last flame throw the only tree there and the top of the tree bursted into flames .and went back into the volcano .I climb the tree and pulled off so brunches
