Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 8, sentence 80

So the men all went before, While the Turtle toiled slowly behind them; But when they saw him no more, He made a magic flight Far over their heads, and deep In the forest he slew a moose, He drew it upon the track Which he knew that they soon must take; And when his foes came up, There he sat on the moose Smoking, and waiting for them.

Who acts: men, Turtle, man, foes · What happens: go, toil, see, make, slay, draw · To what, where: Turtle, magic flight, moose, track, moose Smoking · Speech: someone speaks here
