How Glooskap Found Summer

How Gloos Gap Found Summer, based on an Algonquin Folk Tale, illustrated by Maria Voris.

《格鲁斯·加普寻夏记》，改编自阿尔冈昆民间故事，玛丽亚·沃里斯绘。

Long ago, it grew very cold. Ice and snow covered the land. Corn could not grow. Glooscap, the leader of the people, had to do something.

很久很久以前，天气变得格外寒冷。 冰雪覆盖了整片大地。 玉米根本没法生长。 族人的首领格鲁斯卡普必须得想想办法。

Glooscap went far to the north. Everything was white with snow. He came to a house made of ice. A giant named Winter lived there.

格鲁斯卡普一路去往遥远的北方。 目之所及全是皑皑白雪。 他来到了一座用冰砌成的房子前。 一个名叫“冬天”的巨人住在这里。

Winter invited Glooscap inside. Winter began to tell stories. Glooscap fell asleep under Winter's spell, but Glooscap's bird woke him up.

冬天邀请格鲁斯卡普进屋坐坐。 冬天开始讲起了故事。 格鲁斯卡普中了冬天的魔法沉沉睡去， 不过他身边的小鸟把他叫醒了。

Go south, Glooscap, said the bird. You will find a woman who can help you. Glooscap went to the south. He came to a land where it was warm and sunny.

“往南方去吧，格鲁斯卡普。”小鸟说。 你会找到一位能帮你的女士。 格鲁斯卡普便动身去了南方。 他来到了一片温暖晴朗的土地。

Grass grew and flowers bloomed. Glooscap saw Summer dancing in the field. She had a crown of flowers in her hair.

青草生长，鲜花盛开。 格鲁斯卡普看见“夏天”正在田野里跳舞。 她的头上戴着一顶鲜花做的王冠。
