Menehune are the 'little people' of Hawaii, similar to pixies or trolls. They are known for building many of the heiau (Hawaiian temples) and fishponds around the islands. They work only at night, and only on projects that will take one night to complete.
The little people work hard, but play hard, too. They spin tops, throw darts, box, race, slide down grassy hills on ti leaves, and play 'hide the pebble'. Their favorite game is to throw mountain rocks into the ocean, and dive in after them. Rolling down hills is fun, especially when the ocean is at the bottom and you can splash into the water.
