Once upon a time there lived a giant called Tamure. And, there lived a taniwha.

walking on the beach. One day, the big giant went to the taniwha, and he beat him up,

**really, really badly. Then the taniwha sank to the bottom of the sea. **

  ﻿ **//Tamure and the Taniwha Retold by: Lara Gordon//** Once upon a time, there lived a taniwha in a deep blue sea. And when people ﻿ walked on the beach, the taniwha would scare them off. When fishermen were in theircanoes, the taniwha would bite their boats and eat their fish.Then along came a giant and he said, "I'll punish that taniwha". The giant's name was Tamure.When Tamure got to the mountains, he STOMPED over them. Then when he got near to the placewhere he could see the taniwha, he said to himself, "3,2,1". SPLASH! And he got the neck of that taniwhaand beat him so hard that he never came back. So now it was safe for men to walk on the beach. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: -40px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: -25px; width: 1px;"><object width="586" height="368"><param name="align" value="lt"/><param name="scale" value="noScale"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="flashvars" value="book_slug=the-mad-scientist-and-his-mad-family&amp;size=xl&amp;configXML=http://storybird.com/storymaker/paths/"/><param name="src" value="http://media.storybird.com/embedplayer/bin/StoryplayerEmbed.swf"><embed src="http://media.storybird.com/embedplayer/bin/StoryplayerEmbed.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="586" height="368" align="lt" scale="noScale" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="book_slug=the-mad-scientist-and-his-mad-family&amp;size=xl&amp;configXML=http://storybird.com/storymaker/paths/" /> <span style="display:block;font-family:Georgia,Times New Roman,serif;font-size:14px;margin:5px 0 10px 0;"><a href="http://storybird.com/books/the-mad-scientist-and-his-mad-family/">The Mad Scientist and His Mad Family!</a> by <a href="http://storybird.com/members/lcbods/">lcbods</a> on <a href="http://storybird.com">Storybird</a>
