It was February 5, 2010 and David and his Uncle George were visiting a Chicken farm that weekend. They were both very excited about what they would find at the farm so they decided to take a camera to capture their memories. It was time to leave for their journey and off they went. They drove along the road for hours and hours until they arrived at the farm.

The farm looked abandoned. David’s Uncle wasn’t expecting the farm to look how it did. There were absolutely no farm animals that could be seen. They couldn’t see any barn or shed, all there was, was grass mud and broken fences. David’s Uncle George decided that they came all this way so, he started to search on the farm. They had searched for hours until David saw over on a hill a huge sign saying “CHICKEN FARM”. He told his Uncle and they both ran across the paddocks and up the hill to the farm. Puffing and huffing was all that David and George could do. They couldn’t wait to go inside the barn. George entered the barn with amazement.

From the second George walked in all he could hear was the sound of squawking. David quickly reached into his pocket and grabbed his camera. Flash the camera went. George and David suddenly heard a loud Screeeeech. George said to David “Wait here”. David agreed to wait with the chickens but only if he was aloud to have a coke when they left. David took more pictures while George entered the room. He went inside and then realised that the scream was a scream from a chicken. It was then when George realised that he was in the slaughter house for chickens. George went back into the chicken room to get David.

He grabbed David and then they both went inside the room to find someone. David heard a metal knocking sound and then realised that the chickens weren’t real, the screams weren’t real. Then from out of nowhere a man with a camera and then another man jumped out at David and his Uncle. The camera man flicked his camera on and then one of the men asked David and George to say “Come and Visit the new Chicken’s For Us farm” and I’ll give you $5000 for you and your family. The whipped a case out from behind him to prove that he had the money. David’s Uncle was quick to respond. He said without hesitation “We’ll do it”! They successfully did the advert after 5 attempts and then the man handed George the case with the money. George asked the man in the suit if he could get a ride to his car. The man and the camera man happily took them to their car. George jumped in and then David followed. They continued their long drive back home.

When they arrived home David said to his uncle. “You forgot to get me a coke” George replied “It doesn’t matter we’ve got $5000 instead” David smiled at his Uncle and then George smiled back as they realised that they could be famous and get even more money from advertising.

Target - Next Steps Use creative, interesting sentence starters/beginnings. Build suspense with your creative language. (paragraph 3) “Feathers flying, chickens squawking and becks pecking the barn was a crowded space full of hundred and thousands of chickens, it was an amazing sight David had never seen anything like it”

He was amazed to see what was inside. There were hundreds and thousands of chickens all roaming around inside the barn. Then David heard a scream from inside a room. David’s uncle George said to David “Wait here”. David agreed to wait with the chickens, but only if he was aloud to get a coke when they drove home. David’s uncle entered the room.

A Journey Across New Zealand

It was the first of November 2010 and Kane who is 32 and his friend Jake who is 30 are going on a journey to New Zealand. They two of them had never gone to New Zealand and it was their first time traveling by themselves. The two of them live at the very bottom of South Africa in Cape Town.

Kane and Jake were ready for their journey and their flight left at 10:30am. They caught a taxi to the Airport and were up in the air on their way to New Zealand. The two men were so excited, but they still had to wait for landing. Half way through the flight it was 4:30pm and the men fell asleep and this was a fatal decision. The men woke up again and the time was 7:30 and they were landing. The men were very confused because they were so excited to get off of their flight and explore. But when the men got off of the plane they realised that they weren’t in New Zealand but they were in Australia! The men went to an information center and asked why they were in Australia. The man at the desk said that Kane and Jake had fallen asleep throughout the whole flight to New Zealand so two other men checked your tickets and then saw that you were actually going to Australia so you were transported here instead. The men were shocked and couldn’t believe it, but they didn’t want to argue the point with the men so they booked a motel and stayed there for the night. The men woke up in the morning and searched for the next flight to New Zealand. Jake and Kane were in luck because there was a flight to New Zealand at 9:30am so they took it. The men caught their flight but were aware of the consequence if they fell asleep again. The men stayed awake the whole flight and landed at 12:30pm. The were quickly off and away on their journey across New Zealand. Jake and Kane started their journey in Dunedin and travelled to Christchurch.

When they arrived in Christchurch they were out to explore and first they went to the Fudge Factory. The men had never been to a fudge factory so it was a new experience. First they were shown how to make the fudge and then they tried the fudge and they were in love. Kane and Jake bought 5 bags of fudge each and then they drove around the city and looked at the historic buildings in the city. They spent the whole afternoon exploring Christchurch and then at 4:00pm they raced to the cinemas and watch the new movie out called Karate Kid! Kane and Jake loved the movie and were having a great time in Christchurch. Kane and Jake found themselves a motel to stay at for the night and slept there. When they woke up it was 7:00am and they were really excited to travel up to Wellington. They caught the flight at 10:00am and then arrived in Wellington.

Kane and Jake were really excited about later that night because they were going to watch the All Blacks vs Springboks which is South Africa. Kane and Jake were going for South Africa but they would have to wait until 7:30pm. They both visited the bee hive and when they were looking around the city they saw that almost everyone had a mustache and they were confused. When they got to the bee hive they met all kinds of people and they also met the Prime Minister John Key. They talked to him and he asked if they were enjoying their journey across New Zealand. They said yes but then Kane decided to tell him about their flight to N.Z and John Key was shocked so he decided to give them a free flight to were ever they wanted to visit next in New Zealand. They two of them had already planned to go to Rotorua next so they decided they would go to Rotorua and explore the mud pools around the city. Kane and Jake were so excited to go to the rugby game and arrived at Westpac Stadium and Kane and Jake were so urgent to get in that they arrived at 7:00pm. They watched the game but unfortunately the springboks were down 35-12. The All Blacks dominated the whole match and then the All Blacks won the match 60-20 with the fans going crazy and and were saying out loud ALL BLACKS! The men stayed the night in Wellington and decided that they would get up early and be off on their flight to Rotorua. Kane and Jake were excited to go to Rotorua and they left Wellington and caught one of the first flights out of Wellington and then landed in Rotorua quickly after.

Rotorua was a completely different place and Kane and Jake were scared of everyone because everyone in Rotorua had mustaches and they were all staring at the two men, so Kane and Jake decided to be armed with equipment in case they launched an attack on them. Kane and Jake went to visit Te Puia which is a place with lot’s of mud pools and geysers around the place. Kane was a lot more caution of the people around him because they would give him a glare and then look away the second he turned his head toward them. The men continued through Te Puia and were very interested in the geysers and mud pools. The men were just about to leaveTe Puia but then they saw some Kiwi’s in a shed so they decided to take a look. Kane didn’t want to because he saw 2 other people go inside before them but Jake was itching to go inside to have a look. They walked inside and then found themselves in a dark room but they couldn’t see any Kiwi’s inside or any people. Kane and Jake don’t know that Kiwi’s are nocturnal. The men continue to look around and the Jake spot’s a little kiwi hiding behind a bush. Before the know it they see 5 kiwi’s all hiding behind things like rocks plants and under bark. Kane and Jake were stunned by the kiwi’s and then Kane made a wrong move. He grabbed into his backpack and pulled out a camera. Kane pointed the camera toward the Kiwi’s not realising that the Kiwi’s would get a fright and go crazy! He clicked the camera and then the Kiwi’s were running around screaming and screeching at the two men and Kane dropped the camera. Jake asked Kane what he did and Kane just said I took a picture of them and then they started to go crazy. The two men tried to calm the kiwi’s down but they got worse by the minute. Kane and Jake decided to make a run for it so they grabbed all of their stuff and ran out of the door and into the parking lot. They caught a taxi into town and then went to an ice cream shop which was located on the corner of a street and across from a park. The men sat down and ate their ice-creams but then Kane said “I think we left something behind at Te puia” “Why do you say that Kane” “Oh I don’t know it’s just it feels like we forgot something but I don’t know what it is”. Jake said “don’t worry we picked everything up off the ground when we made a runner, remember”? “yes”. They finished their Ice- cream and then walked across to a taxi cab and then Jake asked “can you give us a ride to the cub place where you can pat a lion cub”. “Sure, jump in”. The taxi driver drove the men to pat a lion cub. The men entered and they were so excited to see a lion cub so they got in and got strait into it! They spent the whole afternoon patting the cubs but then Kane reached into his bag and scurried around in his bag trying to find his camera. He couldn’t find it, and then he realised that he left the camera at Te Puia. Kane decided not to tell Jake and not to go back for it, otherwise he might get caught and then busted. Kane and Jake decided to leave and then find a place to stay for the night. When the men woke up in the morning the continued to see more strange people outside their motel room so they grabbed all of their stuff and then rushed to the airport. When they arrived they saw another man that was walking around strangely. Kane took no notice and carried on walking to the ticket bench. They bought their tickets and then walked to the entrance of the plane. Jake was cautious, because he saw the same strange man on the plane sitting down. Jake walked down the isle and hoped that he wasn’t anywhere near the strange man. He was in some luck but his friend Kane wasn’t, he has to sit right beside the strange man. The plane took off and they were soon up in the air and on their way to Tauranga.

It was a very quick flight and they landed soon after taking off from Rotorua. They got off of the plane and then walked off the plane and picked up their luggage. They went outside and looked for a taxi. The eventually found one and then they got driven to Mount Manganui. They hopped out of the taxi and then walked up to a map of the Mount. They looked at the map and then they decided that they would go for a run to the top. They started running up the mount, and then they saw a weird looking man walking with his family. Kane and Jake were eager to have a closer look at the family, so They both started running faster and faster toward them. They were side by side and then Jake looked at the man that was walking and was very surprised to see what he saw. The man had a mustache that was ginger and then his hair colour was brown. The mother of the family had a mustache and even the children had mustaches! Kane and Jake couldn’t stop staring at the family because they had never seen anything like it before. The men both keeped beside the family, but about 10 metres to the left of them. Kane got a little bit to far in front of the family when he was staring at them, and then the children looked at Kane with a glare. Kane was hoping that the children wouldn’t tell their parents that he had been staring at them. He told Jake to run faster but he wouldn’t listen because he was glued to the family. Kane saw one of the kids tap his mother on the back. The kid put his mouth near his mother’s ear. Kane was just hoping that the kid wasn’t saying anything about him. The mother looked up and then slowly turned her head toward Kane and Jake. She had an angry face, and she wasn’t happy at all. She shouted over toward the men and said “STOP STARING AT OUR CHILDREN, WERE NOT STARING AT YOU SO DON’T STARE AT US”! Kane was gob smacked by what she said. Jake was just laughing and trying to pretend that he didn’t know Kane. Kane stopped walking and grabbed Jake by the collar and then he said “Why did you still continue to stare at them, they were going to look over at us eventually and wonder what we were doing”. Jake apologised to Kane and then they decided to walk back down the Mount to the car park. They arrived at the car park and then walked over to a bus and caught a ride to the blow carting centre called Game On!

They finally arrived at Game On and then Kane said to Jake “If I beat you around the blow carting track, then you will have to give me $5 and if you beat me I’ll give you $5. Jake agreed to the deal and then went strait over to the office to pay for their blow carting. They both payed for their blow carting and then the man set them up for the track. When the man was fixing up the carts Kane looked at the man when he was bending down to check the tires, and then that’s when he saw that the man had hair growing down the back of his head. Kane told Jake but they had no idea what it was. Kane had a thought that they should return to South Africa because if something went wrong they would regret it. They stayed at the place and then they had a great time practicing around the course. Then Kane and Jake prepared for their race against each other. Kane was very confident because when he was practicing Jake’s cart wasn’t working wright. They both were ready and then they were off. Kane got the early lead over Jake and then on the first lap Kane was half a lap in front of Jake. Jake knew he had to catch up to Kane so he started to put more effort in. Kane was almost to the finish line but then a big gust of wind blew is cart off of the track and onto the grass. Jake was catching up to Kane so Kane got out of his cart and then pushed it back on the track. Jake was coming toward the finish line and then Kane jumped back into his cart and Jake passed Kane wright at the end about 1 meter from the finish. Jake was so happy and then he asked Kane for the five dollars. Kane gave it to him but he was mad at the cart and himself. They left Game On and then had a quiet afternoon playing mini put with each other. They both struggled at it but Kane won and then they got a ride to a motel. They booked in and then they went to their suite and got ready for bed. They fell asleep and then the next morning they were in for a surprise. Kane woke up first in the morning at 7:45am. 15 minutes later Jake woke up and then they were both about to go for a shower and then they heard a huge yelp! Kane and Jake both raced to stairs to see who it was who screamed. They arrived down stairs and were in shock. They both saw that the hotel manager was having a heart attack behind the front desk. Kane tried to think of a way to get through to the man but he couldn’t because there was a big glass shield by the desk and the door to get in was locked. Kane called an ambulance and then they arrived soon later. Kane and Jake both had to stand there helplessly and they couldn’t do a thing to help. Kane and Jake were shocked by what they saw so they decided to leave the hotel as soon as possible and then catch a bus all the way up to the Whitianga. They arrived there and then walked down to the beach. It was sunny and it was exactly what the two men needed. They swam in the water and played some cricket on the sand area. Just as Kane was feeling better about himself Jake hit the cricket ball over toward a big bit of wood. Kane ran after it and then saw the bug log and called Jake over to help him left it up. They heaved and heaved the wood and then they smelt a dead smell from under the piece of wood. They lifted the wood and found an old farmer squashed underneath the wood. Kane was in tears and Jake was freaking out because of the devastation. Jake called the police and then they arrived and asked them a few questions. They were looking at the body and then they saw the old farmers mustache rip off of the man. Kane and Jake were going to be treated as suspects so they decided to investigate the death. Kane grabbed a plastic bag that was laying on the ground. He picked up and then walked over to the mustache and put the mustache inside the bag. They then waited for more news on the old farmer and waited to find out who and where is family are. They finally heard some news about the family of the farmer and then they decided to find the place. Kane and Jake had no clue where in Whitianga they were, but if they saw police cars and detectives they would know were to go. Kane and Jake were driving around all afternoon trying to find the family. Jake poked his head outside of the window of the car and then stood up on the car seat. He looked around and then he heard a faint siren noise in the distance. He heard it getting louder and louder and then from over the hill he saw a red and blue flash. Then fro over he hill he saw two police cars fly past them. Jake slid back into the car and the he told Kane to turn the car around and follow them. They followed the police cars and then they came to a stop as the arrived at a near by house. They looked at the house and then they walked over to the police cars and opened the boot and found uniforms and badges. They grabbed two of them and then listened into the conversation. They heard one of the police officers say “I’m sorry to tell you but, we find your husband buried underneath a log on the beach”. The old lady was in tears. Kane was scared and didn’t want to do what they were about to. But they had to prove their innocence to the police. They walked away and jumped into their car and hid until the police had left. The police left and Kane and Jake went back to their motel and practiced what they would say when they arrived at the house. They practiced all night until they got it perfect. They had some sleep and then they drove to the house and checked to make sure there were no police there. It was clear. They both walked over to the house nervously and knocked on the door. The lady wasn’t answering. They both knocked again and then an old lady appeared at the door. The lady was wrinkly and had white hair. Kane said “Hello were from the police, we would like to ask you a few questions about your husband”. The lady said that she would tell them everything that she knew. Kane and Jake both started to question the lady. Kane stepped inside and then sat down on the couch beside Jake. Kane asked the lady “Has your husband ever had a mustache”. “No” the lady replied “but there was a month that he decided to grow a mustache and then after the month he would get rid of it”. “How long ago did he go missing” Jake asked. “Not long ago” the lady said. The lady also said “My husband did this because of a thing called Movember and it is alway’s in November”. All of the answers were starting to add up and eventually they had an idea of when it might of happened. Kane and Jake left the ladies house and then walked over to their car. They jumped in and then drove back to the motel. They arrived back at the motel and then discussed what they had just heard. The two men both new that the man would have been murder or died sometime in November that year. The day at the moment was November 18 2010. The man would have been murdered between the 1 of November and the 16 of November. But then Kane realised that his mustache would have taken a few days to grow to a fully grown one. So Kane got onto his computer and started searching for how long it takes a mustache to grow. Kane looked at the mustache and then realised it must have either been ripped off or it was a fake one. Kane reached his hand into the bag and then felt the mustache. He brushed his hand across the mustache and then felt it and realised that it was real! Kane and Jake decided to leave Whitianga as soon as possible. They left later that afternoon on a bus to Auckland. When they were on the bus they heard on the radio that the Prime Minister was looking for the two men because they were found at Te Puia taking pictures of the Kiwi’s and they are suspects for a murder of the old farmer. Kane and Jake both knew that there would be people at the airports looking out for them so they decided to go out of town and get a motel. They arrived at there motel and locked the door behind them. They sat down and discussed what they would tell the police and if it back fired what they would do. They both quickly wrote down all the possible things that they could tell them about why they took pictures of the Kiwis. They finished writing their ideas and then started to think about evidence they could give the police about where they were when the man was possibly murdered. Kane and Jake were ready to go to the police. They caught a bus to the police station and then walked inside. Kane said to the police man inside “Excuse me sir I’m here because I was wanted because I was taking pictures of Kiwis and I’m also a suspect for the murder of an old farmer in Whitianga”. The man glared at Kane and Jake and then asked them if they could follow him into an interview room. The man sat down and then started asking questions! It was very late at night and Kane and Jake were tired and hungry. The men were just happy that they were only charged $750 for taking pictures of the Kiwis but then Kane and Jake looked in there wallets and then realised that they were bankrupt!

The men sat down and ate their ice-creams but then Kane said “I think we left something behind at Te puia” “Why do you say that Kane” “Oh I don’t know it’s just it feels like we forgot something but I don’t know what it is”. Jake said “don’t worry we picked everything up off the ground when we made a runner, remember”? “yes”. They finished their Ice- cream and then walked across to a taxi cab and then Jake asked “can you give us a ride to the cub place where you can pat a lion cub”. “Sure, jump in”. The taxi driver drove the men to pat a lion cub. The men entered and they were so excited to see a lion cub so they got in and got strait into it! They spent the whole afternoon patting the cubs but then Kane reached into his bag and scurried around in his bag trying to find his camera. He couldn’t find it, and then he realised that he left the camera at Te Puia. Kane decided not to tell Jake and not to go back for it, otherwise he might get caught and then busted. Kane and Jake decided to leave and then find a place to stay for the night. When the men woke up in the morning the continued to see more strange people outside their motel room so they grabbed all of their stuff and then rushed to the airport. When they arrived they saw another man that was walking around strangely. Kane took no notice and carried on walking to the ticket bench. They bought their tickets and then walked to the entrance of the plane. Jake was cautious, because he saw the same strange man on the plane sitting down. Jake walked down the isle and hoped that he wasn’t anywhere near the strange man. He was in some luck but his friend Kane wasn’t, he has to sit right beside the strange man. The plane took off and they were soon up in the air and on their way to Tauranga.

It was a very quick flight and they landed soon after taking off from Rotorua. They got off of the plane and then walked off the plane and picked up their luggage. They went outside and looked for a taxi. The eventually found one and then they got driven to Mount Manganui. They hopped out of the taxi and then walked up to a map of the Mount. They looked at the map and then they decided that they would go for a run to the top. They started running up the mount, and then they saw a weird looking man walking with his family. Kane and Jake were eager to have a closer look at the family, so They both started running faster and faster toward them. They were side by side and then Jake looked at the man that was walking and was very surprised to see what he saw. The man had a mustache that was ginger and then his hair colour was brown. The mother of the family had a mustache and even the children had mustaches! Kane and Jake couldn’t stop staring at the family because they had never seen anything like it before. The men both keeped beside the family, but about 10 metres to the left of them. Kane got a little bit to far in front of the family when he was staring at them, and then the children looked at Kane with a glare. Kane was hoping that the children wouldn’t tell their parents that he had been staring at them. He told Jake to run faster but he wouldn’t listen because he was glued to the family. Kane saw one of the kids tap his mother on the back. The kid put his mouth near his mother’s ear. Kane was just hoping that the kid wasn’t saying anything about him. The mother looked up and then slowly turned her head toward Kane and Jake. She had an angry face, and she wasn’t happy at all. She shouted over toward the men and said “STOP STARING AT OUR CHILDREN, WERE NOT STARING AT YOU SO DON’T STARE AT US”! Kane was gob smacked by what she said. Jake was just laughing and trying to pretend that he didn’t know Kane. Kane stopped walking and grabbed Jake by the collar and then he said “Why did you still continue to stare at them, they were going to look over at us eventually and wonder what we were doing”. Jake apologised to Kane and then they decided to walk back down the Mount to the car park. They arrived at the car park and then walked over to a bus and caught a ride to the blow carting centre called Game On!

They finally arrived at Game On and then Kane said to Jake “If I beat you around the blow carting track, then you will have to give me $5 and if you beat me I’ll give you $5. Jake agreed to the deal and then went strait over to the office to pay for their blow carting. They both payed for their blow carting and then the man set them up for the track. When the man was fixing up the carts Kane looked at the man when he was bending down to check the tires, and then that’s when he saw that the man had hair growing down the back of his head. Kane told Jake but they had no idea what it was. Kane had a thought that they should return to South Africa because if something went wrong they would regret it. They stayed at the place and then they had a great time practicing around the course. Then Kane and Jake prepared for their race against each other. Kane was very confident because when he was practicing Jake’s cart wasn’t working wright. They both were ready and then they were off. Kane got the early lead over Jake and then on the first lap Kane was half a lap in front of Jake. Jake knew he had to catch up to Kane so he started to put more effort in. Kane was almost to the finish line but then a big gust of wind blew is cart off of the track and onto the grass. Jake was catching up to Kane so Kane got out of his cart and then pushed it back on the track. Jake was coming toward the finish line and then Kane jumped back into his cart and Jake passed Kane wright at the end about 1 meter from the finish. Jake was so happy and then he asked Kane for the five dollars. Kane gave it to him but he was mad at the cart and himself. They left Game On and then had a quiet afternoon playing mini put with each other. They both struggled at it but Kane won and then they got a ride to a motel. They booked in and then they went to their suite and got ready for bed. They fell asleep and then the next morning they were in for a surprise. Kane woke up first in the morning at 7:45am. 15 minutes later Jake woke up and then they were both about to go for a shower and then they heard a huge yelp! Kane and Jake both raced to stairs to see who it was who screamed. They arrived down stairs and were in shock. They both saw that the hotel manager was having a heart attack behind the front desk. Kane tried to think of a way to get through to the man but he couldn’t because there was a big glass shield by the desk and the door to get in was locked. Kane called an ambulance and then they arrived soon later. Kane and Jake both had to stand there helplessly and they couldn’t do a thing to help. Kane and Jake were shocked by what they saw so they decided to leave the hotel as soon as possible and then catch a bus all the way up to the Whitianga. They arrived there and then walked down to the beach. It was sunny and it was exactly what the two men needed. They swam in the water and played some cricket on the sand area. Just as Kane was feeling better about himself Jake hit the cricket ball over toward a big bit of wood. Kane ran after it and then saw the bug log and called Jake over to help him left it up. They heaved and heaved the wood and then they smelt a dead smell from under the piece of wood. They lifted the wood and found an old farmer squashed underneath the wood. Kane was in tears and Jake was freaking out because of the devastation. Jake called the police and then they arrived and asked them a few questions. They were looking at the body and then they saw the old farmers mustache rip off of the man. Kane and Jake were going to be treated as suspects so they decided to investigate the death. Kane grabbed a plastic bag that was laying on the ground. He picked up and then walked over to the mustache and put the mustache inside the bag. They then waited for more news on the old farmer and waited to find out who and where is family are. They finally heard some news about the family of the farmer and then they decided to find the place. Kane and Jake had no clue where in Whitianga they were, but if they saw police cars and detectives they would know were to go. Kane and Jake were driving around all afternoon trying to find the family. Jake poked his head outside of the window of the car and then stood up on the car seat. He looked around and then he heard a faint siren noise in the distance. He heard it getting louder and louder and then from over the hill he saw a red and blue flash. Then fro over he hill he saw two police cars fly past them. Jake slid back into the car and the he told Kane to turn the car around and follow them. They followed the police cars and then they came to a stop as the arrived at a near by house. They looked at the house and then they walked over to the police cars and opened the boot and found uniforms and badges. They grabbed two of them and then listened into the conversation. They heard one of the police officers say “I’m sorry to tell you but, we find your husband buried underneath a log on the beach”. The old lady was in tears. Kane was scared and didn’t want to do what they were about to. But they had to prove their innocence to the police. They walked away and jumped into their car and hid until the police had left. The police left and Kane and Jake went back to their motel and practiced what they would say when they arrived at the house. They practiced all night until they got it perfect. They had some sleep and then they drove to the house and checked to make sure there were no police there. It was clear. They both walked over to the house nervously and knocked on the door. The lady wasn’t answering. They both knocked again and then an old lady appeared at the door. The lady was wrinkly and had white hair. Kane said “Hello were from the police, we would like to ask you a few questions about your husband”. The lady said that she would tell them everything that she knew. Kane and Jake both started to question the lady. Kane stepped inside and then sat down on the couch beside Jake. Kane asked the lady “Has your husband ever had a mustache”. “No” the lady replied “but there was a month that he decided to grow a mustache and then after the month he would get rid of it”. “How long ago did he go missing” Jake asked. “Not long ago” the lady said. The lady also said “My husband did this because of a thing called Movember and it is alway’s in November”. All of the answers were starting to add up and eventually they had an idea of when it might of happened. Kane and Jake left the ladies house and then walked over to their car. They jumped in and then drove back to the motel. They arrived back at the motel and then discussed what they had just heard. The two men both new that the man would have been murder or died sometime in November that year. The day at the moment was November 18 2010. The man would have been murdered between the 1 of November and the 16 of November. But then Kane realised that his mustache would have taken a few days to grow to a fully grown one. So Kane got onto his computer and started searching for how long it takes a mustache to grow. Kane looked at the mustache and then realised it must have either been ripped off or it was a fake one. Kane reached his hand into the bag and then felt the mustache. He brushed his hand across the mustache and then felt it and realised that it was real! Kane and Jake decided to leave Whitianga as soon as possible.

But when the men got off of the plane they realised that they weren’t in New Zealand but they were in Australia! The men went to an information center and asked why they were in Australia. The man at the desk said that Kane and Jake had fallen asleep throughout the whole flight to New Zealand so two other men checked your tickets and then saw that you were actually going to Australia so you were transported here instead. The men were shocked and couldn’t believe it, but they didn’t want to argue the point with the men so they booked a motel and stayed there for the night. The men woke up in the morning and searched for the next flight to New Zealand. Jake and Kane were in luck because there was a flight to New Zealand at 9:30am so they took it. The men caught their flight but were aware of the consequence if they fell asleep again. The men stayed awake the whole flight and landed at 12:30pm. The were quickly off and away on their journey across New Zealand. Jake and Kane started their journey in Dunedin and travelled to Christchurch.

When they arrived in Christchurch they were out to explore and first they went to the Fudge Factory. The men had never been to a fudge factory so it was a new experience.

Kane and Jake were going for South Africa but they would have to wait until 7:30pm. They both visited the bee hive and when they were looking around the city they saw that almost everyone had a mustache and they were confused. When they got to the bee hive they met all kinds of people and they also met the Prime Minister John Key. They talked to him and he asked if they were enjoying their journey across New Zealand. They said yes but then Kane decided to tell him about their flight to N.Z and John Key was shocked so he decided to give them a free flight to were ever they wanted to visit next in New Zealand. They two of them had already planned to go to Rotorua next so they decided they would go to Rotorua and explore the mud pools around the city. Kane and Jake were so excited to go to the rugby game and arrived at Westpac Stadium and Kane and Jake were so urgent to get in that they arrived at 7:00pm. They watched the game but unfortunately the springboks were down 35-12. The All Blacks dominated the whole match and then the All Blacks won the match 60-20 with the fans going crazy and and were saying out loud ALL BLACKS! The men stayed the night in Wellington and decided that they would get up early and be off on their flight to Rotorua. Kane and Jake were excited to go to Rotorua and they left Wellington and caught one of the first flights out of Wellington and then landed in Rotorua quickly after.

Rotorua was a completely different place and Kane and Jake were scared of everyone because everyone in Rotorua had mustaches and they were all staring at the two men, so Kane and Jake decided to be armed with equipment in case they launched an attack on them. Kane and Jake went to visit Te Puia which is a place with lot’s of mud pools and geysers around the place. Kane was a lot more caution of the people around him because they would give him a glare and then look away the second he turned his head toward them. The men continued through Te Puia and were very interested in the geysers and mud pools. The men were just about to leaveTe Puia but then they saw some Kiwi’s in a shed so they decided to take a look. Kane didn’t want to because he saw 2 other people go inside before them but Jake was itching to go inside to have a look. They walked inside and then found themselves in a dark room but they couldn’t see any Kiwi’s inside or any people. Kane and Jake don’t know that Kiwi’s are nocturnal. The men continue to look around and the Jake spot’s a little kiwi hiding behind a bush. Before the know it they see 5 kiwi’s all hiding behind things like rocks plants and under bark. Kane and Jake were stunned by the kiwi’s and then Kane made a wrong move. He grabbed into his backpack and pulled out a camera. Kane pointed the camera toward the Kiwi’s not realising that the Kiwi’s would get a fright and go crazy! He clicked the camera and then the Kiwi’s were running around screaming and screeching at the two men and Kane dropped the camera. Jake asked Kane what he did and Kane just said I took a picture of them and then they started to go crazy. The two men tried to calm the kiwi’s down but they got worse by the minute. Kane and Jake decided to make a run for it so they grabbed all of their stuff and ran out of the door and into the parking lot. They caught a taxi into town and then went to an ice cream shop which was located on the corner of a street and across from a park.

Jake said “don’t worry we picked everything up off the ground when we made a runner, remember”? “yes”. They finished their Ice- cream and then walked across to a taxi cab and then Jake asked “can you give us a ride to the cub place where you can pat a lion cub”. “Sure, jump in”. The taxi driver drove the men to pat a lion cub. The men entered and they were so excited to see a lion cub so they got in and got strait into it! They spent the whole afternoon patting the cubs but then Kane reached into his bag and scurried around in his bag trying to find his camera. He couldn’t find it, and then he realised that he left the camera at Te Puia. Kane decided not to tell Jake and not to go back for it, otherwise he might get caught and then busted. Kane and Jake decided to leave and then find a place to stay for the night. When the men woke up in the morning the continued to see more strange people outside their motel room so they grabbed all of their stuff and then rushed to the airport. When they arrived they saw another man that was walking around strangely. Kane took no notice and carried on walking to the ticket bench. They bought their tickets and then walked to the entrance of the plane. Jake was cautious, because he saw the same strange man on the plane sitting down. Jake walked down the isle and hoped that he wasn’t anywhere near the strange man. He was in some luck but his friend Kane wasn’t, he has to sit right beside the strange man. The plane took off and they were soon up in the air and on their way to Tauranga.

It was a very quick flight and they landed soon after taking off from Rotorua. They got off of the plane and then walked off the plane and picked up their luggage. They went outside and looked for a taxi. The eventually found one and then they got driven to Mount Manganui. They hopped out of the taxi and then walked up to a map of the Mount. They looked at the map and then they decided that they would go for a run to the top. They started running up the mount, and then they saw a weird looking man walking with his family. Kane and Jake were eager to have a closer look at the family, so They both started running faster and faster toward them. They were side by side and then Jake looked at the man that was walking and was very surprised to see what he saw. The man had a mustache that was ginger and then his hair colour was brown. The mother of the family had a mustache and even the children had mustaches! Kane and Jake couldn’t stop staring at the family because they had never seen anything like it before. The men both keeped beside the family, but about 10 metres to the left of them. Kane got a little bit to far in front of the family when he was staring at them, and then the children looked at Kane with a glare. Kane was hoping that the children wouldn’t tell their parents that he had been staring at them. He told Jake to run faster but he wouldn’t listen because he was glued to the family. Kane saw one of the kids tap his mother on the back. The kid put his mouth near his mother’s ear. Kane was just hoping that the kid wasn’t saying anything about him. The mother looked up and then slowly turned her head toward Kane and Jake. She had an angry face, and she wasn’t happy at all. She shouted over toward the men and said “STOP STARING AT OUR CHILDREN, WERE NOT STARING AT YOU SO DON’T STARE AT US”! Kane was gob smacked by what she said. Jake was just laughing and trying to pretend that he didn’t know Kane. Kane stopped walking and grabbed Jake by the collar and then he said “Why did you still continue to stare at them, they were going to look over at us eventually and wonder what we were doing”. Jake apologised to Kane and then they decided to walk back down the Mount to the car park. They arrived at the car park and then walked over to a bus and caught a ride to the blow carting centre called Game On!

They finally arrived at Game On and then Kane said to Jake “If I beat you around the blow carting track, then you will have to give me $5 and if you beat me I’ll give you $5. Jake agreed to the deal and then went strait over to the office to pay for their blow carting. They both payed for their blow carting and then the man set them up for the track. When the man was fixing up the carts Kane looked at the man when he was bending down to check the tires, and then that’s when he saw that the man had hair growing down the back of his head. Kane told Jake but they had no idea what it was. Kane had a thought that they should return to South Africa because if something went wrong they would regret it. They stayed at the place and then they had a great time practicing around the course. Then Kane and Jake prepared for their race against each other. Kane was very confident because when he was practicing Jake’s cart wasn’t working wright. They both were ready and then they were off. Kane got the early lead over Jake and then on the first lap Kane was half a lap in front of Jake. Jake knew he had to catch up to Kane so he started to put more effort in. Kane was almost to the finish line but then a big gust of wind blew is cart off of the track and onto the grass. Jake was catching up to Kane so Kane got out of his cart and then pushed it back on the track. Jake was coming toward the finish line and then Kane jumped back into his cart and Jake passed Kane wright at the end about 1 meter from the finish. Jake was so happy and then he asked Kane for the five dollars. Kane gave it to him but he was mad at the cart and himself. They left Game On and then had a quiet afternoon playing mini put with each other. They both struggled at it but Kane won and then they got a ride to a motel. They booked in and then they went to their suite and got ready for bed. They fell asleep and then the next morning they were in for a surprise. Kane woke up first in the morning at 7:45am. 15 minutes later Jake woke up and then they were both about to go for a shower and then they heard a huge yelp! Kane and Jake both raced to stairs to see who it was who screamed. They arrived down stairs and were in shock. They both saw that the hotel manager was having a heart attack behind the front desk. Kane tried to think of a way to get through to the man but he couldn’t because there was a big glass shield by the desk and the door to get in was locked. Kane called an ambulance and then they arrived soon later. Kane and Jake both had to stand there helplessly and they couldn’t do a thing to help. Kane and Jake were shocked by what they saw so they decided to leave the hotel as soon as possible and then catch a bus all the way up to the Coromandel.

They arrived there and then walked down to the beach. It was sunny and it was exactly what the two men needed. They swam in the water and played some cricket on the sand area. Just as Kane was feeling better about himself Jake hit the cricket ball over toward a big bit of wood. Kane ran after it and then saw the bug log and called Jake over to help him left it up. They heaved and heaved the wood and then they smelt a dead smell from under the piece of wood. They lifted the wood and found an old farmer squashed underneath the wood. Kane was in tears and Jake was freaking out because of the devastation. Jake called the police and then they arrived and asked them a few questions. They were looking at the body and then they saw the old farmers mustache rip off of the man.

Kane and Jake were ready for their journey and their flight left at 10:30am. They caught a taxi to the Airport and were up in the air on their way to New Zealand. The two men were so excited, but they still had to wait for landing. Half way through the flight it was 4:30pm and the men fell asleep and this was a fatal decision. The men woke up again and the time was 7:30 and they were landing. The men were very confused because they were so excited to get off of their flight and explore. But when the men got off of the plane they realised that they weren’t in New Zealand but they were in Australia! The men went to an information center and asked why they were in Australia. The man at the desk said that Kane and Jake had fallen asleep throughout the whole flight to New Zealand so two other men checked your tickets and then saw that you were actually going to Australia so you were transported here instead. The men were shocked and couldn’t believe it, but they didn’t want to argue the point with the men so they booked a motel and stayed there for the night. The men woke up in the morning and searched for the next flight to New Zealand. Jake and Kane were in luck because there was a flight to New Zealand at 9:30am so they took it. The men caught their flight but were aware of the consequence if they fell asleep again. The men stayed awake the whole flight and landed at 12:30pm. The were quickly off and away on their journey across New Zealand. Jake and Kane started their journey in Dunedin and travelled to Christchurch.

When they arrived in Christchurch they were out to explore and first they went to the Fudge Factory. The men had never been to a fudge factory so it was a new experience. First they were shown how to make the fudge and then they tried the fudge and they were in love. Kane and Jake bought 5 bags of fudge each and then they drove around the city and looked at the historic buildings in the city. They spent the whole afternoon exploring Christchurch and then at 4:00pm they raced to the cinemas and watch the new movie out called Karate Kid! Kane and Jake loved the movie and were having a great time in Christchurch. Kane and Jake found themselves a motel to stay at for the night and slept there. When they woke up it was 7:00am and they were really excited to travel up to Wellington. They caught the flight at 10:00am and then arrived in Wellington.

Kane and Jake were really excited about later that night because they were going to watch the All Blacks vs Springboks which is South Africa. Kane and Jake were going for South Africa but they would have to wait until 7:30pm. They both visited the bee hive and when they were looking around the city they saw that almost everyone had a mustache and they were confused. When they got to the bee hive they met all kinds of people and they also met the Prime Minister John Key. They talked to him and he asked if they were enjoying their journey across New Zealand. They said yes but then Kane decided to tell him about their flight to N.Z and John Key was shocked so he decided to give them a free flight to were ever they wanted to visit next in New Zealand. They two of them had already planned to go to Rotorua next so they decided they would go to Rotorua and explore the mud pools around the city. Kane and Jake were so excited to go to the rugby game and arrived at Westpac Stadium and Kane and Jake were so urgent to get in that they arrived at 7:00pm. They watched the game but unfortunately the springboks were down 35-12. The All Blacks dominated the whole match and then the All Blacks won the match 60-20 with the fans going crazy and and were saying out loud ALL BLACKS! The men stayed the night in Wellington and decided that they would get up early and be off on their flight to Rotorua. Kane and Jake were excited to go to Rotorua and they left Wellington and caught one of the first flights out of Wellington and then landed in Rotorua quickly after.

Rotorua was a completely different place and Kane and Jake were scared of everyone because everyone in Rotorua had mustaches and they were all staring at the two men, so Kane and Jake decided to be armed with equipment in case they launched an attack on them. Kane and Jake went to visit Te Puia which is a place with lot’s of mud pools and geysers around the place. Kane was a lot more caution of the people around him because they would give him a glare and then look away the second he turned his head toward them. The men continued through Te Puia and were very interested in the geysers and mud pools. The men were just about to leaveTe Puia but then they saw some Kiwi’s in a shed so they decided to take a look. Kane didn’t want to because he saw 2 other people go inside before them but Jake was itching to go inside to have a look. They walked inside and then found themselves in a dark room but they couldn’t see any Kiwi’s inside or any people. Kane and Jake don’t know that Kiwi’s are nocturnal. The men continue to look around and the Jake spot’s a little kiwi hiding behind a bush. Before the know it they see 5 kiwi’s all hiding behind things like rocks plants and under bark. Kane and Jake were stunned by the kiwi’s and then Kane made a wrong move. He grabbed into his backpack and pulled out a camera. Kane pointed the camera toward the Kiwi’s not realising that the Kiwi’s would get a fright and go crazy! He clicked the camera and then the Kiwi’s were running around screaming and screeching at the two men and Kane dropped the camera. Jake asked Kane what he did and Kane just said I took a picture of them and then they started to go crazy. The two men tried to calm the kiwi’s down but they got worse by the minute. Kane and Jake decided to make a run for it so they grabbed all of their stuff and ran out of the door and into the parking lot. They caught a taxi into town and then went to an ice cream shop which was located on the corner of a street and across from a park. The men sat down and ate their ice-creams but then Kane said “I think we left something behind at Te puia” “Why do you say that Kane” “Oh I don’t know it’s just it feels like we forgot something but I don’t know what it is”.

Kane and Jake were so excited to go to the rugby game and arrived at Westpac Stadium and Kane and Jake were so urgent to get in that they arrived at 7:00pm. They watched the game but unfortunately the springboks were down 35-12. The All Blacks dominated the whole match and then the All Blacks won the match 60-20 with the fans going crazy and and were saying out loud ALL BLACKS! The men stayed the night in Wellington and decided that they would get up early and be off on their flight to Rotorua. Kane and Jake were excited to go to Rotorua and they left Wellington and caught one of the first flights out of Wellington and then landed in Rotorua quickly after.

Rotorua was a completely different place and Kane and Jake were scared of everyone because everyone in Rotorua had mustaches and they were all staring at the two men, so Kane and Jake decided to be armed with equipment in case they launched an attack on them. Kane and Jake went to visit Te Puia which is a place with lot’s of mud pools and geysers around the place. Kane was a lot more caution of the people around him because they would give him a glare and then look away the second he turned his head toward them. The men continued through Te Puia and were very interested in the geysers and mud pools. The men were just about to leaveTe Puia but then they saw some Kiwi’s in a shed so they decided to take a look. Kane didn’t want to because he saw 2 other people go inside before them but Jake was itching to go inside to have a look. They walked inside and then found themselves in a dark room but they couldn’t see any Kiwi’s inside or any people. Kane and Jake don’t know that Kiwi’s are nocturnal. The men continue to look around and the Jake spot’s a little kiwi hiding behind a bush. Before the know it they see 5 kiwi’s all hiding behind things like rocks plants and under bark. Kane and Jake were stunned by the kiwi’s and then Kane made a wrong move. He grabbed into his backpack and pulled out a camera. Kane pointed the camera toward the Kiwi’s not realising that the Kiwi’s would get a fright and go crazy! He clicked the camera and then the Kiwi’s were running around screaming and screeching at the two men and Kane dropped the camera. Jake asked Kane what he did and Kane just said I took a picture of them and then they started to go crazy. The two men tried to calm the kiwi’s down but they got worse by the minute. Kane and Jake decided to make a run for it so they grabbed all of their stuff and ran out of the door and into the parking lot. They caught a taxi into town and then went to an ice cream shop which was located on the corner of a street and across from a park. The men sat down and ate their ice-creams but then Kane said “I think we left something behind at Te puia” “Why do you say that Kane” “Oh I don’t know it’s just it feels like we forgot something but I don’t know what it is”. Jake said “don’t worry we picked everything up off the ground when we made a runner, remember”? “yes”. They finished their Ice- cream and then walked across to a taxi cab and then Jake asked “can you give us a ride to the cub place where you can pat a lion cub”. “Sure, jump in”. The taxi driver drove the men to pat a lion cub. The men entered and they were so excited to see a lion cub so they got in and got strait into it! They spent the whole afternoon patting the cubs but then Kane reached into his bag and scurried around in his bag trying to find his camera. He couldn’t find it, and then he realised that he left the camera at Te Puia. Kane decided not to tell Jake and not to go back for it, otherwise he might get caught and then busted. Kane and Jake decided to leave and then find a place to stay for the night. When the men woke up in the morning the continued to see more strange people outside their motel room so they grabbed all of their stuff and then rushed to the airport. When they arrived they saw another man that was walking around strangely. Kane took no notice and carried on walking to the ticket bench. They bought their tickets and then walked to the entrance of the plane. Jake was cautious, because he saw the same strange man on the plane sitting down. Jake walked down the isle and hoped that he wasn’t anywhere near the strange man. He was in some luck but his friend Kane wasn’t, he has to sit right beside the strange man. The plane took off and they were soon up in the air and on their way to Tauranga.

It was a very quick flight and they landed soon after taking off from Rotorua. They got off of the plane and then walked off the plane and picked up their luggage. They went outside and looked for a taxi.

Kane and Jake bought 5 bags of fudge each and then they drove around the city and looked at the historic buildings.
