The Elephant And The Crocodile

Ever wonder how we got kapiti island. Well it all started with an elephant named Jeff. One day Jeff the elephant went on a holiday to new Zealand. Jeff stayed away from the people that lived on new Zealand, simply because Jeff didn’t know if they were friendly or not. Jeff typically went to the seaside and looked at the ocean. It looked a dark blue with a white splash occasionally. Suddenly Jeff saw a gigantic green thing that looked strange. Jeff walked into the water. It was ice cold, but Jeff wanted to find out what the green thing was. Jeff was quite far in the water when he saw that the green thing was a massive crocodile! Jeff could not let the people that lived on new Zealand die. So Jeff fought with the crocodile until it surrendered. Jeff saw for the first time how starved the crocodile looked. But even though the crocodile was at death's door Jeff made him promise never to move. So the crocodile had to sit there, after five months the crocodile caught a bad case of the flu and died soon after. four months went by and trees began grow over the dead crocodile. Soon after shrubs and grass began to grow until the crocodile looked more like an island. Jeff the elephant named it kapiti island after shoreline opposite it, the kapiti coast. And that is how we got kapiti island.
