The Legend Of Lake Ora

Do you remember the legend of Lake Ora?

Sure you do. Remember when the taniwha appeared on the full moon with its big teeth and scaley tail. Remember how the taniwha was splashing and writhing on the edge of the lake.

Remember the warrior that rushed down and saw the taniwha wriggling around. Remember that the warrior went to the taniwha to show the Puhi tribe he was brave. Remember that the taniwha fled before the warrior could get him.

Remember how the taniwha appeared exactly one year later on another full moon. Remember when the cheifs daughter was found by the taniwha. Remember how the cheifs daughter screamed as she was being dragged away.

Remember how the warrior grabbed his biggest spear and raced after the taniwha. Remember how the warrior searched for two days and two nights turning up the water so the lake turned brown. Remember how the warrior came out of the water with no girl but a portion of the taniwhas body stuck to the spike on his spear.

That is the legend of Lake Ora.
