Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 8, sentence 2

Yet another tradition tells That after cutting the dam The Master sat and watched, And yet no Beaver came forth, For Kwâbît had escaped by a hole Which led back to the other side; Kulóskap then tore up A rock and he threw it Very far indeed, One hundred and fifty miles, To frighten the Beaver back; But over the Grand Falls Kwâbît had gone in haste And so for the time escaped; Yet the stone remaineth there As a wonder to this day.

Who acts: tradition, Master, Beaver, Kwâbît, hole, Kulóskap · What happens: tell, cut, sit, watch, come, escape · To what, where: That, dam, rock, Beaver, haste · Speech: someone speaks here
