How New Zealand got its name

How New Zealand got its name

Back in the days, when the earth was born there lived two selfish men named Kiko and Nockaree. They both always fought for the big island named Green Beauty.
The sun gleamed onto the pretty flowers and crystal clear water, it was a special place. Everyone felt so honored to be there until… Kiko chucked a big log at Nockaree. Nockaree hit his head so hard the water started turning brown and the grass looked like ash if a god was hurt so would green beauty. It was terrible the unforgettable island was being wasted by those selfish men. The impact of his head cracked Green Beauty in half! So they decided to have half each of Green Beauty. Kikos Dad was called North and Nockarees Dad was named South so kikos top half was named Northland and Nockaree's bottom half was named Southland. New meaning new start and Zealand meaning friendship.
That is how New Zealand got its name!!!
