After a while,there was a strong pull on Maui's line. He tried to pull in the line, but whatever he had caught was too strong. Muai had to ask his brothers for help. They pulled and pulled. Finally,they pulled up a huge piece of land, which is now know as the North Island if new zealand.
Today, the symbal of Maui's magic-his fishhook-has became an important symbal to the Maori people,who believe wearing Hei Matau (fishhook necklaces) will keep them safe on their teavels and bring them wealth. And in the maori language, the piece of land that Maui caught is still called Te Ika a Maui, meaning Maui's fish.
