Extract from Judith Knight’s Second Prizewinning Essay, “Weka Town”.
“ ‘You will be pleased to know there is one place where the Wekas are protected’, said my friend. The Weka population frequented the local hospital, and they had become quite tame. All scraps were given to them. The hospital authorities even discharged a patient who killed a Weka!” [Wekas are protected by law everywhere. Ed.].
