Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 7, sentence 89

The tale is told of Kulóskap That, once while travelling To visit Partridge Island And then Cape Blomidon, His friends were tired of rowing, Tired of travel by water, And wished to cross by land; And, while they all were resting, The Master, raising his magic Unto a mighty deed To be spoken of forever, Went away for a little time And cast up a giant ridge, A wide and beautiful level Over great bogs and streams, And across this they travelled Rejoicing, to await him.

Who acts: friends, Cape, roads, water · What happens: tell, travel, visit, be, wish, cross · To what, where: tale, Partridge Island, Master, magic, giant ridge, this · Speech: someone speaks here
