This is where our story begins. One boiling hot
day, Cory and Jennah headed down to the beach.

• Meanwhile, Sam and Fleur were not having such a
  good time in the bush, as Templeton was planning
  an evil plan DUN DUN DAH

Mummy
Food, food mmm
Oh no
An hour later, Templeton had tiptoed into Sam and
Fleurs nest! He was metres away when Fleur and
Sam realised something was wrong. Fleur told Sam
to hide and not to come back until the rat had
left. Templeton closed in and Fleur was scared.
She had forgotten that her eggs were in the
burrow. Having no other choice, Fleur sacrificed
her eggs hoping Templetons hunger would be
satisfied and he would let her live. Templeton
gobbled them up and they were never to be seen
again.

Hello there, I am Jessie.
I am so tired I could eat a horse.
Sam had been running in fear for hours now. He
was hungry and very tired. Then he jumped as he
heard a rustle in the bush. Fortunately it was
only a kiwi! The kiwi introduced herself. Hi
Im Jessie. Then she asked him if he wanted a
huhu grub. I havent eaten one before but I
like to try things. So he politely took the huhu
grub. It was very slimy and slid down his throat.

So, what brings you here?
I was forced to run away when a rat intruded into
my home

• Later during dinner, a conversation arose. Jessie
  said to Sam. So what brings you here?
• Sam answered, I was forced to run away when a
  rat intruded into my home, and now (at this
  moment he started to weep) I am lost!
• Jessie comforted Sam by saying Dont cry, Ill
  help you find your mum.

• Cory and Jennah had just gone for a swim in the
  ocean, when they heard a faint wail.
• Lets investigate. No one should be sad on such a
  fine day, Jennah suggested. So off they trotted
  into the forest.

Soon, they found Jessie comforting Sam. Whats
wrong? asked Cory. Then Sam told them his story.
As soon as he finished, Jennah and Cory went on a
search for his mother.

OH no!
Templeton's got another egg.
After hours of searching, Sam and Fleur were
reunited. They were very happy! Jessie the kiwi
visits every day. As for Cory and Jennah, they
went home knowing they had done a good deed! And
as for the naughty predator Templeton, he
continues in his evil egg-stealing ways!
