And knowing all that was in their hearts, he put on the shape of an old squaw and went into the council-house. And he sat down by two witches: one was the Porcupine, the other the Toad; as women they sat there. Of them the Master asked humbly how they expected to kill him. And the Toad answered savagely, "What is that to thee, and what hast thou to do with this thing?"
"Truly (в самом деле)," he replied (ответил он; to reply), "I meant no harm (я не имел в виду ничего плохого; to mean; harm — вред, ущерб)," and saying this he softly touched the tips of their noses (и, говоря так, он слегка дотронулся до кончиков их носов; soft — мягкий, приятный), and rising went his way (и, поднявшись, пошел по своим делам; to go one’s way; way — путь; сторона). But the two witches, looking one at the other (но две ведьмы, глядя друг на друга), saw presently that their noses were both gone (увидели теперь, что носы обеих исчезли; both — оба, обе и т. п.; presently — ныне, теперь; некоторое время спустя), and they screamed aloud in terror (и они завизжали громко от ужаса), but their faces were none the less flat (но их лица остались, тем не менее, плоскими).

Glooskap had two dogs (у Глускапа были две собаки). One was the Loon (одну звали Гагара), the other the Wolf (другую — Волк). Of old all animals were as men (в прежнее время все животные были как люди; of old — в прежние времена); the Master gave them the shapes which they now bear (Хозяин даровал им те тела, которые они имеют сейчас; shape — форма, образ; to bear — носить). But the Wolf and the Loon loved Glooskap so greatly (но Волк и Гагара любили Глускапа так сильно) that since he left them they howl and wail (что с тех пор, как он покинул их, они плачут и воют/вопят;
