CHAPTER I.
How does the story of the wicked giant Wolf‑Wind begin?
Once upon a time, long before the white men came to Canada, there lived a wicked giant who caused great trouble and sorrow wherever he went. Men called him Wolf-Wind. Where he was born, no man knows, but his home was in the Cave of the Winds, far in the north country of the Night-Night Land. And there men knew he was hiding on calm days, when the sun was hot and the sea was still, and on quiet nights when not a leaf or a flower or a blade of grass were stirring, but whenever he appeared, the great trees cracked in fear, and the little trees trembled, and the flowers bent their heads close to the earth, trying to hide from his presence. Often he came upon them without warning, and with the little sign of his coming, and then the corn fell flat, never to rise again, and tall trees crashed in the forest, and the flowers dropped dead because of their terror, and often the great waters grew white.
and moaned or screamed loudly or dashed themselves against the rocks trying to escape from wolf wind but in the darkness of the night when wolf wind howled there was a great fear upon all the earth it happened once in those old times that wolf wind was in a great rage and he went forth to kill and devour all who dared to come in his path it chanced in that time that many indian families were living near the sea the men and the women were fishing far off the coast they were catching fish to make food for the winter they went very far away in small canoes for the sea had long been still and they thought there was no danger the little children were alone on shore suddenly as the sun went down without a sign of his coming out of the north
came wolf wind in his great rage looking for prey and roaring loudly as he came i am wolf wind the giant he howled cross not my path for i will kill all the people i meet and eat them all up his anger only grew as he stalked along and he splashed and tossed the waters aside in his fury as he came down upon the fishermen and the fisher-woman far out to sea the fishers had no time to get out of his reach or to paddle to the shore so quick was wolfwin's coming and the giant caught them in his path and broke up their boats and killed them all all night long he raged over the ocean looking for more fishes in the morning wolf wind's anger was not yet spent far away in front of him he saw the little children of the fishes playing on the shore he knew they were alone for he had killed their fathers and mothers he resolved to catch them and kill them too and after them he went still in a great rage
he went quickly towards the land roaring as he went and dashing the waters against the rock in his madness as he came near the beach he howled in his anger i will catch you and kill you all and eat you and bleach your bones upon the sand but the children heard him and they ran away as fast as they could and they hid in a cave among the great rocks and placed a big stone at the mouth of the cave and wolf wind could not get in he howled loudly at the door all day and all night long but the stone was strong and he could not break it down then he went on his way still very angry and still roaring and he howled i'll come back and catchier yet you cannot escape from me the children were very frightened and they stayed long in the cave after wolf wind had gone for far away they could still hear him howling and crashing in the forest then they came out they knew that wolf wind had killed their fathers and mothers on the sea they ran away into the forest for they thought here they would be safe they went to the willow willow land
where they found a pleasant place with grass and flowers and streams and between them and the north country where wolf wind lived were many great trees with thick leaves which they knew would protect them against the giant
