1. My Predictions:Huhu grubs and pomegranates were Nanny’s favourite kai.but even though she walked kilometres through the bush chipping away

           At fallen logs, it was years since she’d found any huhu grubs.and the little                 pomegranate tree in her garden still hadn’t produced any fruit bigger than a walnut.So when hana’s big brother, Tom was chosen to go to Brisbane with the school football team, Nanny had a bright idea.

My tama, how about you bring me home some Witchetty grubs, eh?And some pomegranates-I hear they grow really big in Australia!’’Tom tried to explain to Nanny about the customs service and why travellers couldn't  carry fruit and vegetables (let alone grubs)between the two countries,but Nanny didn’t want to hear.’’You’ll work something out tama.you’re smart boy.’’.After winning all their games, Tom and the team had a day to go shopping.Tom found a purple and yellow surfers paradise T-shirt for Hana.Then in the two-dollar bargain bin, he spotted a pale wrinkled, glow-in-the-dark object in a plastic pack.’’Magic Grub’’ said the label.Place in water and watch me grow!''
