Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 17, sentence 67

Taking the Leaf in her little bill, The Red Bird flew over rock and river, Till she came to the beautiful country; Again on a tree they built their wigwam, And Squʿtes sat and sang on the branches: The little Indian boy Monimques Never had heard such beautiful singing, Never beheld such wonderful feathers; Amazed he stood for a while and listened, Then bending his bow let fly an arrow.

Who acts: Red Bird, heart, birds, Squʿtes, Amazed, bow · What happens: take, fly, come, build, sit, sing · To what, where: Leaf, little bill, rock, tree, wigwam, branches
