Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 5, sentence 44

And when he reached the town Half dead with hunger, he Indeed was little worth To make the others laugh, Though for a time he did, Which somewhat cheered his heart, But, as the days went on, They wearied of the sound, And, when they saw him come, Turned off another way; Which vexed him to the heart, So that one day he went Alone into the woods And there he slew himself.

Who acts: Kulóskap, others, time, days, way · What happens: reach, be, make, laugh, do, cheer · To what, where: town, time, heart, Kulóskap, way, woods
