So he arose, and said to the boy, "I will go and see your chief, and I think he will soon give me better water than this." And having come to the monster, he said, "Give me to drink, and that of the best, at once, thou Thing of Mud!" But the chief reviled him, and said, "Get thee hence, to find water where thou canst." Then Glooskap thrust a spear into his belly, and lo! there gushed forth a mighty river; even all the water which should have run on while in the rivulet, for he had made it into himself. And Glooskap, rising high as a giant pine, caught the chief in his hand and crumpled in his back with a mighty grip. And lo! it was the Bull-Frog.

And ever since that time (и всегда с того времени = и с тех пор) the Bull-Frog's back has crumpled wrinkles in the lower part (спина Лягушки-Быка имеет вмятые складки на нижней части), showing the prints of Glooskap's awful squeeze (показывающие следы/отпечатки ужасной хватки Глускапа; squeeze — сдавливание, сжатие).

For a marvelous thing had come to pass during his absence (ибо во время его отсутствия произошло чудо; marvelous — чудесный, волшебный; thing — вещь; случай; to come to pass — случаться, происходить), which shall be heard in every Indian's speech through all the ages (которое будет слышаться во всех индейских наречиях через все века = на протяжении всех веков). For the men, being, as I said, simple, honest folk (ибо те люди, будучи, как я сказал, простым, честным народом), did as boys do when they are hungry (поступили, как мальчишки делают, когда они голодны), and say unto one another (и сказали друг другу; unto = to), "What would you like to have, and what you (что бы тебе хотелось, а что — тебе)?" "Truly, I would be pleased with a slice of hot venison (поистине, я был бы доволен куском горячей оленины) dipped in maple-sugar and bear's oil (опущенной в кленовый сахар и медвежий жир = с подливой из кленового сахара и …;
