Nova Zelandia est propinqua insulae Australiae, sed longinqua a Britannia et regina nostrarum insularum, Elisabetha. In aquis circum insulas balaenas et multas bestias maritimas saepe videmus. Ursas, leonas et alias bestias periculosas non habemus, sed aprae iratae et cervae amicae in densis et obscuris silvis errant. Interdiu in silvis cicadas semper audimus, et interdum noctu kivias audimus. Kivias servare desideramus, quod paucae sunt. Quod kivias curamus, mox in silvis erunt multae. Olim in silvis ambulabant magnae moae; nunc autem mortuae sunt, quod incolae terrae moas devorabant. Hodie incolae villas pulchras prope oram maritimam aedificant. Aestate in undis natare et naviculis navigare amant. Olim incolae terram bene non curabant; nunc autem non jam terram vastant et bestias necant. Mea familia in parva casa prope tabernas habitat. Cotidie ad scholam ambulo. Cum non laboro, novas et miras fabulas audire, et noctu stellas et lunam claram spectare amo. Olim alias terras videre desidero, sed nunc solam terram meam scio!
