Kia ora.
Ko Felicity ahau.
Hello. I am Felicity.
Felicity lives in a small town in the
North Island of New Zealand. She turned four on January 2nd 1999 and what
a party that was in the summer's heat. The children, after eating
lots of unhealthy food and playing a few games of pass the parcel,
were more than happy to alternate bouncing on the trampoline with splashing
in the paddling pool. Felicity is half maori on her father's side
and half pakeha (caucasion) on her mother's side.

Winnie the Pooh story
by Felicity
aged three
Winnie the Pooh
climbed into the honey tree, and then what did he do? Piglet came
along, and Christopher Robin, and Tigger, and Eeyore. And Winnie the Pooh
was stuck (in the tree.) He was eating some honey in the tree. Eeyore
and Christopher Robin came and got Winnie the Pooh out. They were buying
something for Eeyore. Winnie the Pooh came up and Piglet was eating some
honey. They went to the shop to see Owl and Owl was hammering.
