WAIPIRO by Bernard Heremia (13) On the last few Saturdays a man called Ted went down to Kaeo to have parties. When he went down last Saturday he went to the hotel to get cartons of beer for a party. By the time he came out of the hotel he was a bit wobbly from side to side. He started his truck and put it in gear and started back home. On the way back when he was coming up Kahoe Hill his truck stalled and he reversed over the bank. So he walked down the hill to the bottom to Renets and asked him to pull him out. So Renet woke himself up and went on his Fordson to pull Ted's truck on to the road. Going top speed pulling the truck out of the water table, skidding from side to side like a drunken man. When he got out he went right away. He never paid Mr Renet because he was too drunk.
