Scenario
This is a spoof on Jack and the Beanstalk. Te Awarangi plants two seeds in the ground, while Mere looks on doubtfully. The camera zooms in on the two seeds, one of which is frightened because of the dark. The other seed reassures his seed friend that they don’t need to be scared because they are in the bosom of Mother Earth, Papatūānuku. We see the shoots sprout above the earth. Mere and Te Awarangi watch excitedly as the shoots get bigger and bigger – so big that Te Awarangi gets caught in the stalk as it rises into the air.
The seeds
Language focus
