Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 10, sentence 34

And the other understood That by his magic power The Lord would bring a frost And make it cold indeed; So he made the Marten bring All the wood that lay without, With the fresh oil of a porpoise Which he multiplied ten times By sorcery; and then They sat them down and smoked, And sang old songs and told Tales of the early time.

Who acts: other, Lord, Said, Marten, wood, porpoise · What happens: understand, bring, make, lie, multiply, sit down · To what, where: That, frost, wood, whales, old songs, Tales · Speech: someone speaks here
