Te Mata peak was a big giant. He came along  a moāri village and fell in love. The chief said to the giant  if you want her then you  must complete the task. You must bite a rock off the hill  over there.  Then you can have her.

But it is only if you  can do it. Ok said the chief  so the giant  went to do the task.  He completed all the other things  and he was on the final task. Then he had to bite off a rock off the hill  so he did it.  Then  he died  and  became  the  sleeping  giant.
