The Lost Kiwi Chick

Early one misty morning, Isla and Wiremu helped at a kiwi recovery centre beside a patch of native bush. Their job was to check the safe outdoor pens. Near the gate, they heard a tiny peep. A kiwi chick had slipped through a gap and was hiding under a fern! Isla stayed still while Wiremu fetched a soft carrier. Together, they gently guided the chick inside. Soon it was safe and warm. The helpers fixed the gap, and the chick settled beside its mother.
