Parrot to the Rescue
in Hawaiian




Jack and Lisa were on school holidays, but it hadn't been a fun holidays yet. It had been raining every day!

"Look!" cried Jack, pointing out the window. "Finally the sun is out!"

"Why don't you go on a picnic? You can spend all day outside," suggested Mum.





First they went down to the shed to find Peke.

"Aloha! E hele ana kākou i hea i kēia lā?" squawked Peke.

"E hele ana kākou i ka lokowai e pikiniki ai," replied Jack.





"E hele kākou i ka lokowai!" squawked Peke. And with a big flap of the wings, he was off leading the way up the path.

"Wela nō," said Lisa, wiping her face with her hand. "I mea inu na‘u."

"Makewai nōho‘i wau," said Jack.
"Aia i hea ka wai lemi?"







Suddenly, something large swooped down from the sky towards Lisa.

Lisa screamed, "Auī!! E kōkua mai!
E kōkua mai ia‘!
"





It was a ferocious magpie and she was on the attack. She thought they were too close to her nest.

"He aha ka pilikia?" cried Jack in alarm.

"E hele ‘oe i kahi ‘ē!" shouted Jack, flapping his arms around his head as the magpie targeted him.

"E kōkua wau iā ‘olua!" squawked Peke.

He chased the magpie high up into the tree, while Jack and Lisa disappeared down the path.





They ran and ran and ran until they were out of breath ...

"Slow down!" cried Lisa. "I think we're lost! I can't see the way to the lake any more."

Lisa looked up into the sky and saw Peke flying above.

"E kū ‘oe, e Peke!" called Lisa.
"Ua nalowale māua! Aia i hea ke alahele pololei? ‘A‘ole hiki iā māua ke huli."





"Hiki ia‘u ke huli no ‘olua!" squawked Peke as he zoomed down through the trees and along the path.

"E hahai mai ‘olua ia‘u!" he screeched.

"E mālie mai ‘oe!" puffed Jack.

"‘A‘ole hiki iā māua ke lele me ‘oe! Pono māua e hele loko o nā la‘alā‘au," he called.



"Ai‘a ka lokowai! Ua hō‘ea akula!" cried Lisa.



"Mahalo no kou kōkua nui, e Peke!" said Jack.
"‘A‘ole pilikia," replied Peke, preening his feathers in embarrassment.



They sat down beside the lake and started to set up their picnic.

First, they started with some fruit. Peke called out as his favourite food appeared out of the backpack ...



"... he piki, he mau ‘ōhelo papa, he mau ‘apelekoka, he mai‘a, he ‘alani ..."



"... he mau keli, he pea, he mau hua waina ..."



Peke eyed all the food with interest as it was placed on the picnic blanket.

"Pōloli lua wau. Hiki ia‘u ke ho‘ā‘o i kēnā?" he asked, bobbing his head towards a slice of fruit cake.










...............



"Mai ‘ai ‘oe!" said Lisa, grabbing the cake.

"Ua pa‘a i ka naonao." She tried to brush all the ants off. It was difficult.

"Pōloli nā naonao ..." said Jack. "A makemake lākou i ka mea ‘ono."

"Mai hopohopo!" squawked Peke. "Makemake pū wai i ka mea ‘ono a me ka naonao kekahi!"

Lisa raised her eyebrows at Jack. "Ugghhhh!" laughed Jack and Lisa together.

"Ka palaoa!" squawked Peke. "Ua lawe mai ‘oe i ka palaoa?"

"‘Ae," replied Lisa. "‘A‘ole au i poina."

Peke happily grabbed a chunk of bread in his beak.



"He aiūpa‘a anei kāu?" asked Jack.

"‘Ae! Ei‘a," replied Lisa as she pulled it out of the backpack.

"E hā‘awi pū mai ‘oe ia‘u i kekahi pahu, ke ‘olu‘olu," he added.

"Mahalo," mumbled Jack through a mouthful of cheese and bread.

They all ate for a while, chatting and laughing together.

"He lawa nō paha kēnā?" asked Lisa. "I mea hou nāu?"

"‘A‘ole ... ‘Eha ko‘u ‘ōpū. Ua nui loa paha," said Jack.

"‘A‘ole lā!" squawked Peke. They all laughed.



They spent the rest of the afternoon climbing trees, exploring and running around.





The sun was starting to get very low in the sky.

"Ua lohi nō," squawked Peke.

"‘Ae, pono kākou e ho‘i i ka hale i kēia manawa," said Jack.

They packed up their things and headed home down the path away from the lake .... tired, happy and not the slightest bit hungry.

Soon they could see the roof of their house through the trees. It was good to be home.





...............

Magpie was happy to be alone again. She was even happier when she discovered some bread they had left behind.
