They both found where the taniwha sound was and captured it. Mr Blackadder showed Noah's whole class the taniwha in a jar, it was tiny. Complementary text is about 2 taniwhas who lived in a lake near Wellington harbour who wanted to go out into the ocean, so then they tried to make a huge wave that flooded the land separating the lake and the ocean and they did it, so they now live in the ocean. Challenge text is about a taniwha who lived in wellington harbour and when the taniwha was asleep he slipped over the land freely in the sea.
