Be The Media – POV

Okay, time for the point of view stories. Our first version is in the past.

Nicola is a woman. Her best friends were Heva the dog and Chimmy the monkey. Together they were treasure seekers. They were on the Hawaiian island of Maui and they were hiding from a dangerous gangster who wanted to find them. For one month, Nicola, Chimmy and Heva stayed in the small town of Haiku with Heva’s friend, Lorraine. Her place was beautiful. On the green side of the island, covered in tropical plants. Lorraine’s yard had two large avocado trees and Heva loved avocados.

Every day he went into the yard to eat avocados. He gathered a big bowl of avocados and ate them all. When his belly was full he lied down under a tree and took a nap. Ah, this is wonderful said Heva. Nicola went to the beach each day to swim. She enjoyed the relaxed life on Maui. But Chimmy was bored. After a month of relaxing he was bored and restless. So, he opened his computer to search for things to do.

While surfing the web he found an article about kite surfing. The article said that Maui was the best place in the world for kite surfing. Chimmy read more about kite surfing. When you kite surf you wear a board on your feet and then you hold a giant kite. The kite catches the wind and pulls you through the water and over the waves. Chimmy said, ‘wow, I gotta try that.’ So, he immediately called a kite surfing school and he booked 20 lessons.

Every day he went to the beach to learn how to kite surf. In the beginning it was very difficult. He had to learn how to control the kite. With the strong wind it was very powerful. Then he had to learn how to stand on the board. When he was finally able to do that he had to control the kite and surf at the same time. Finally, after many lessons he managed to do it. It was fantastic! He zoomed over the water. He jumped over the waves. Then he turned around and surfed down the waves. Every day he went to Nash Beach to kite surf. He became a great kite surfer. He even learned how to do big jumps in the air.

He learned how to do all kinds of amazing tricks. The other kite surfers were very impressed with Chimmy. Eventually, a reporter came to the beach and took pictures of the amazing kite surfing monkey and Chimmy became a local kite surfing legend.
