# Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 5, sentence 42

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Now the third went merrily on, Tramping along through the woods, When it flashed upon his mind In an instant, that Kulóskap Had bestowed on him a gift; And, without the slightest heed To what the Master had said Of waiting till he got home, He took out the magic root And ate it, then and there; When all at once he found He could utter the magic cry Which startles all who hear it, Inspiring them to joy And making them laugh aloud; Then, as it rang afar O’er many a forest dale Waking the ringing echo Of the far-distant hill, Until it was answered by A solemn snowy owl, He felt that he had won A wondrous power indeed; So he walked gayly on O’er many a hill and dale, Whistling or trumpeting As happy as a bird.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** third, love, Kulóskap, magic cry, ways, forest dale · **What happens:** go, tramp, flash, bestow, say, get · **To what, where:** woods, instant, gift, Master, magic root, love · **Speech:** someone speaks here
