It was in old times; in the beginning when everything started, men were
like animals and animals (were) men; how Winpe the great sorcerer steals
Kuloskap's family; how he jestingly cheated the whale; how the clams
sing; how Whale smoked a pipe. It is said that men were the first, then
as they became inflamed and desired one thing and another, they become
animals, but before this was so, they can change to one form and
another.
Kuloskap then lived on an island called Ajaligunmechk; with him are many
Indians who are like animals; these too have their customs; also as
birds (they are).
Nearly all of them and especially Partridge use magic power (and) are
jealous of Kuloskap. So they planned to kill him; when he goes away from
there, they take away his grandfather Woodchuck and Blackcat; they
suppose that Kuloskap, when he is abandoned on an island must die,
because they do not know how powerful he is.

When he returns, his grandfather Woodchuck and Blackcat had been stolen;
he follows them to shore; he sees pushing off in a canoe his great
enemy, the great sorcerer (Winpe) and his (Kuloskap's) family, his
(Winpe's) wife and little children. Kuloskap continually calls that his
grandfather should make a sending; that he should send back his dogs; so
he puts them on a wooden dish. Then the Indians throw dice; then they
float to the shore; Kuloskap picks them up.
Winpe and his family and his prisoners go on to Passamaquoddy and Grand
Manan; for a little while they stay there; they start;
