When Kiviuq's goose wife and two children flew away he tried following them over land.  He comes across a giant.  From behind.  He see the giants big behind and he can see through it all the way to the giants teeth!  He quietly walks ahead a bit more but startles the giant.  From which way are you coming from?  The giant asks again.  Kiviuq answers he has arrived from the side.  It turned out the giant was very self conscious.  The giant was walking on trees cutting them down and put them in water and they turned into sharks.  Kiviuq told the giant his search for his wife and children and asked for help.  The giant took a tree and told Kiviuq he can get a ride to help in his search.
