The Girl and The Moa - Chapter 3 - by Quillian

 Chapter 3

I woke up early, just like I said I would. I ruffled my feathers groggily and jump-stepped off a level of the nest. The nest is a big grass dome shape with platforms connected to the sides where we sleep. On the way to the creek, I munched some fern shoots and cabbage tree seeds. 

Once I got to the creek, I still had to wait about 5 minutes until Glosha got there.  (Remember, Glosha is what Moona calls Glory). When Glosha got there, I said, "Why you tribe not attacking my tribe yet? Is it because they are not up yet?"

"Good job and almost perfect grammar!" Glosha said. "No, they are awake but they cannot find your home. I suspect it will take a day our two," 

"We fix this have to," I said. 

Oh my, I hate talking in this language, I thought. I am so slow!

Glosha said, "How do we fix this?"

"I don't know yet."

Stay tuned for Chapter 4.....
