Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 11, sentence 96
And then the Lord Kulóskap, Whose pipe was many times greater, Also sent his tobacco Out in a puff as round-- Out in a mighty ball As hard as any flint, And, blowing it on the ground Which was of granite rock, Split it asunder, so That a valley yawned between them.
Who acts: pipe, Lord Kulóskap, ground · What happens: be, send out, blow, split, yawn · To what, where: tobacco, puff, pipe, ground, valley
