When Kuloskap went away, he had got rid of all the terrible monsters;
everything had gone then; the Kiwa‛kws no longer wandered wildly in the
forests; the Kulloo no longer frightened (man), spreading his wings like
a cloud between him and the sun; the evil Cheenoo in the north devours
him no longer, nor are evil beasts, demons or great serpents to be found
near where he is (lives).

This Kuloskap teaches mankind how to be more and more happy; yet they
are not grateful; when the Indians (and) animals became bad, they
irritated Kuloskap very much. So then, he can live no more with them; so
he makes a feast near Lake Minas; all the Indians and beasts go to it;
when it is over, he gets into a great canoe; the Indians look after him
until they see him no more. Then after they had lost sight of him, they
still hear him singing; it gets fainter as he departs; (until) at length
it is not heard at all any more. Then all are silent.
And a wonder comes upon them. The animals used to use one speech
together; but now whenever anyone calls (says anything), he uses first
one (language) and then another. No more they shall be together again
until Kuloskap returns; then again, he will make feasts for them; then
again, the Indians will dwell peacefully together. Everything mourns.
It is said, that, after he went away from Akadia, that great white owl
went away to the deep woods; he will return no more, until he can come
out to welcome Kuloskap. So still in the depths (of the forest) he
sounds (his) _kookohoo_, or the horned owl says in
