the tomb

The tomb
Clang! Crash! Dan was a 8 year old child , in a dreadful desert who had lovely blonde hair which at the moment was stuck to his head with sweat, Dan  had been digging all morning. Along with his team of fellow archaeologists, countless tons and dirt and sand had been removed. At first the mechanical diggers had done their bit, to be followed by spades and shovels. Now, as the team neared their prize, their tools became trowels and delicate brushes.
Hours of sweat and toil in the blistering heat had brought little reward as yet, but things were about to change. Dan stood in front of what he hoped would be the most significant discovery of his career so far, and gently began to untie the knot that had sealed the door for thousands of years … “ready team! Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!  The door creaked creepily open and White fluffy ferrets ran out of it with little silver armor, helmets and golden spears, they were shocked how much there were it looked like there were about 10 of them“who are you?” a squeaky little ferret voice with black fur said bravely who must of been the leader “Dan and my crew” said Dan rather timidly “ only one of you can enter to see the animals!” said the leader whose name was Squeak. So Dan went and creeped silently into the Egypt tomb who Squeak said was the tomb of animals.
There was light up ahead then the first animals came into sight “ birds!” Dan exclaimed there were parrots, macaws, sparrows, pigeons, doves and budgerigars. Then the next light came up horses! Loads of them palominos, piebalds, chestnuts, geldings, blacks, greys and arabs a blue light came up and bunnies and then cats and dogs! But the last light came up and there was a cave roar and a lion, badger, eagle and serpent came into view.
“Who is this stanger! That comes into the our kingdom! Have you come to challenge us?” a male serpent boomed with the lion“ it is just me - Dan, Squeak said that I could come in here because I was the person who found this first” “well okay, congratulations you may choose an animal from here. Now leave us in peace so we can sleep”sacked the eagle, so Dan crept back and looked back ¨actually you can have 4 animals!!¨ the badger quietly squeaked. Soft sounds of snoring came from the depths of the cave where the graceful animals now slept ¨okay I hope those guys knows the animals that he's missing” thought Dan but this time when he went back Dan saw the there were tags for their names on them Dan chose 2 bright blue budgies, who were named Teal and Cyan then Dan chose 1 horse and got one black the black one was named Midnight and Midnight Had a huge black Flowing mane. lastly, he got a ferret who didn’t have a name so Dan could name the ferret! Although, this ferret was one of Squeak’s babies! Dan had a happy life retired from aregroegraphy and loved his pets. He named It Ravi after his favorite food Ravioli. In his life he then went to Sterlob which is a school of magic and found out that he was an animagus and he could turn into a fox and loved care of magical creatures class he was adored by professor sprout he got sorted into Cramblepaw which was a house and always helped out with other people, he made lots of friends one of them was cedric in his first year Cedric was a last year and he went into the triwizard tournament and died in it from cursa and evil wizard that only wants power. He didn't know if anybody would want to be his friend so he went back to the tomb and found the lion, serpent, eagle and badger although, later on he found a ferret, otter, budgie and unicorn, the animals of Sterlob and he stayed there happy as can be with lots of friends. He was best friends with the ferret because the Ferret was the symbol of Cramblepaw

Kauri Dieback
Kauri Dieback is a disease that affects kauri trees and Over the past ten years, a pathogen called Phytophthora agathidicida (fi-tof-thor-ah agatha-dis-id-ah) (PA) has spread through New Zealand’s kauri forests. It causes a disease called kauri dieback, which is unique to kauri, currently incurable, and almost always fatal.

     “If the kauri die out, everything in our forest will be affected,” says Will Ngakuru of Te Roroa iwi. Te Roroa are the kaitiaki of Waipoua Forest, where Tāne Mahuta stands. “In our iwi, we believe that we belong to the forest and the forest belongs to us. We need to do whatever it takes to protect the Waipoua Forest from PA.”
     Te Roar are not alone. Scientists, government.
hytophthora literally means “plant destroyer”. It refers to a category of tiny water moulds that live in the soil and enter plants through their roots. From there, they damage the tissues that carry nutrients within the plant, causing it to slowly starve to death.
     Phytophthora was detected in kauri on Great Barrier Island in the 1970s and has since spread to Auckland, Northland, and the Coromandel. In 2008, scientists identified the unique type of Phytophthora targeting kauri as Phytophthora agathidicida and labelled the disease kauri dieback.
