# Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 7, sentence 1

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Then after a time they came To a long point of land Which ran into the lake, Where, having climbed a hill, They saw in the distance smoke; Guided by this they came To a large and beautiful hut; And entering it they found, Seated upon the right, A handsome stately man Like a chief of middle age, And on the left a woman, So old and so decrepit That it seemed as if a century Or more had made her life; And opposite the door Was a mat which seemed to show That some other had there a place.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** they, long point, it, door, mat, other · **What happens:** come, run, have, climb, see, guide · **To what, where:** left, lake, hill, distance smoke, large hut, century · **Speech:** someone speaks here
