Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 19, sentence 9

Then in the early morn When he would wend his way, The Sagem of the Wolves Said to the Wolverine: “Oh Uncle--thou hast yet Before thee three long days All in a land where there Is neither house nor hearth, And thou wilt find it hard To camp without a fire; Now by good luck I have An admirable spell By which thou canst have fires, And only three--yet they Will serve thee to the end-- This is the way ’tis done: Build up a pile of sticks, And then jump over it, Even as children do, And thou wilt see it blaze.

Who acts: morn, early morn, thou, house, way, three · What happens: wend, say, have, be, find, camp · To what, where: way, Sagem, Wolverine, admirable spell, fires, thee · Speech: someone speaks here
