This legend was about Glooskap, turtle, about the toad and porcupine, who lost their noses.
In the old time in the light before the sun.
Glooskap and his brother were as yet unborn.
They waited a day to appear.
Glooskap doesn’t want to wait and he broke through his mothers side, he rent the wall; his beginning of life was his mothers dead.
Nothing could hurt the Glooskap, he was the lord of men and beats, his tribe was all.
In it the Great Golden Eagle was a chief, he married a female Caribou.
The turtle was his uncle.
He married a doughter of the Golden Eagle and Caribou.
Of all these things there are many and long traditions.
When the turtle married, Glooskap talked to him to make a feast with grand banquet and he gives him great power.
He talked to him go to the sea and take a whale.
But only take a whale and he set a mark or an appointed space and bade him not go an inch beyond it.
But turtle went beyond the mark, because falsehood of disobedience was in him.
He posted his magic strengths and he fell, crushed flat beneath the weight of the great fish.The men saying Glooskap about turtle and glooskap make a miracle - he enlivened the turtle.
Everybody feared Glooskap , for they saw that he was a spirit.
It came to pass that the Turtle thought that he could take Glooskaps place and reign in this stead.
He gathered all the animals to discuss it.
Glooskap laughed at it and he put the shape of an old squaw.
He sat down by two witches (the Porcupine and Toad) And he asked humbly how they expected to kill him.
What is that to thee and what is that to thee and what hast thou to do with this thing - asked the witches.
Glooskap in the shape of the squaw answered that he don’t meant no harm and he touched the tips of they noses.
Witches was frightened, their noses were both gone and have none for this day.
Glooskap had two dogs.
But then the Glooskap left them, they howl and wail, because they love the master so greatly.
Nowadays they cry at nights over the lonely lake and in the forests.
