With no money or place to stay they looked for an empty house for temporary shelter. Finding one that was both remote and looked ‘vacant’ they broke in through an open window. Once inside they realised someone had recently been there, is it a bach they wondered. Suddenly a car approached so they ran for the beach to hide, The man saw them make their escape and called out to them that it was okay, and he wouldnt call the cops. The man sounded friendly and asked if they wanted a feed. Out they came from their hiding spots and met Parekura for the first time. He made them that feed and put them up for the night (and a few more after). To top all of that off he found them all a job working on the roads, which was the MOW at the time. Time has moved on and so have my cousin and his mates. But they still holiday at beautiful Tologa Bay with their families, and try to catch up with the man who called everyone “chief” RIP Parekura	Brian B (6530)
