However that may be, this old fellow bore his wants (so well), he being so good natured, that Kuloskap takes a liking to him. He decided that he would make him a powerful (or strong) man. This happens wonderfully, as we shall see.
When he comes to Pictou where there are more than a hundred wigwams, Kuloskap was a very handsome man, as if he were a chief; he was much loved; not a little was he liked by all the women. All want him in their wigwams; he refuses to see them; he stays along with his uncle, the strange one; he always takes great delight in him in old times.
There is to be a great feast and games, but Kuloskap does not care to go, either as a guest or as a performer in the sports. Still he asks Mikchich whether he will not take part; he says: "All the girls will be there." He asks him why he does not marry; it must be that he lives in a lonely fashion.
"I am so poor that I have not one garment which is suitable for a feast. Is it not better that I should smoke my pipe at home?"--"If this is all that is wanted," Kuloskap replies to his uncle "do not take thought for the exterior of your face; he who knows how can easily do it over, as a suit of clothes is made over."--"Yes my child," says Mikchich, "what do you say if you can make over the inside of a person?"--"By the great beaver," answers the chief, "that is hard to do, (yet) before I leave this village, I will do this. Do you, however, in this present sport (or: playground) put on my belt."
