 Maero
A man named Tukoio once came across a particularly hairy mohoao -- hair so long it trailed upon the ground -- who was spearing birds with his fingernails.
This mohoao at once attacked Tukoio and fought fiercely with him until Tukoio had cut off his arms and legs.
After Tukoio had severed the shaggy head and was returning home with his trophy, the head began to speak: "Children, I'm being carried off!" Tukoio instantly dropped the head and ran.
