🌲 Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, The Little People of the Mist., sentence 6

Just where the land went steeply up from the head of the bay to the shoulders of Te Ahu-Patiki, otherwise Mount Herbert, we could see the curious light grey rock wall of the Tarahaka, above the Pari-mataa, “Obsidian Cliff,” like a great chute down the mountain side, gleaming in the sun, the _tipua_ rock of the fire gods.

Who acts: land, we, light · What happens: go, see, wall, gleam · To what, where: head, Pari mataa, tipua, sun
