Hiwi the Kiwi

Two years ago a rich lady called Tracey decided to go fishing for her first time. Tracey did not know anything about fishing not even to wear a lifejacket so she didn’t!

She went to 90 Mile beach in Kaitaia. She just took a little dinghy out to the rough sea. She caught a huge heavy snapper but when the fish got on the boat the fish tipped both of them right over into the water! The fish swam away but Tracey swam a bit further.

To Tracey’s surprise she found an old rusty submarine! It had lots of petrol in it too! So…… she hopped in the submarine and drove it for a week and stopped at an island. Tracey lived there for four days.

Tracey was going for a swim one day when she found a beacon with a small flare in it washed up from the sea. So she let it out with a whoosh! Bam! Bang! The signal went up to a satellite and went quickly to a rescue house. The rescue people came and took her to shore. She got fined $100 for not wearing a lifejacket.

Tracey went home and felt mad and sad. She thought, “Man, I am not going fishing again! Next time I am surely going to wear a lifejacket and I think there are some things I need to learn first too.’’
