Enjoy this story, Rupert, Porohita Poroporo me te Pere, read in te reo Māori by Nikora Ngaropo (Te Rarawa, Tuhoe, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kahungungu).

This instructional reader, Rupert, Porohita Poroporo me te Pere (Rupert, Purple Circles and the Bell) by John Carr, tells the story of Rupert, Room Four’s goldfish. Rupert lived on his own in a small, glass bowl. He had no company, no friends to interact with, no plants to nibble, and nothing to explore or enrich his days. One student decides it’s time to stop thinking about Rupert’s problems and do something about them.
