My Myth on Why Kiwis have Long Noses

Once upon a time there lived a very nosy Kiwi. He was always eavesdropping, spying and sticking his nose into other birds business. One day after Kiwi had told all the plants, flowers and the trees about how Tui hadn't been looking where he was going and had flown straight headfirst into a big old Rimu and then dropped right into a Kunekune dropping. Now as you can imagine Tui was very
 embarrassed and things like this had happened before so you couldn't blame him when he went straight to Tane Mahuta to complain.
Upon hearing all Kiwis naughty tricks Tane Mahuta roared for kiwi to come. Kiwi nervously waddled up and wheedled, "Don't believe anything Tui has to say sir! He has it out to get me!"
Tane Mahuta controlled his annoyance, "Yes well," he rumbled. "It seems that Tui isn't the only unhappy bird in the forest," He nodded at the growing mass of birds in the trees around them. "UUHHHHHHHHH," Kiwi stalled.
"Don't worry Kiwi I have heard enough." And with that Tane Mahuta clicked his fingers and chanted a Karakea.
"NOOOOOO," Kiwi cried as his beak started to stretch out. "Now," Tane Mahuta said. "All shall see how nosy you are with your new long beak."
