Sample Mini-Stories

4. Kegluneq Maqaruaq-llu Wolf and Rabbit
(Hungry Wolf Movie)

One of the flannel board stories I tell is The Three Little Pigs. I was delighted to find the following similar story in Anderson & Marsh (1998) shortened version with the same idea of wolf threatening to blow the house down.

Una qanemciuguq: Kegluneq Maqaruaq-llu

This is a story: Wolf and Rabbit.

Ellami, maqaruartangqertuq.

Outside, there is a rabbit.

Ellami, keglunertangqertuq-llu.

Outside, there is also a wolf.

Keglunrem neryugaa maqaruaq.

The wolf wants to eat rabbit.

Maqaruaq itqertuq eneminun!

Rabbit escapes inside his house!

Kegluneq qanertuq, "Maqaruaq, itercessnga wall'u cupluku enen tengtevkarciqaqa!"

Wolf says, "Let me come in or I will blow your house away!"

Keglunrem-llu tengtevkaraa maqaruaq enii-llu!

Wolf blows both rabbit and his house away!

Kegluneq cali kaigtuq!

Wolf is still hungry!
Maqaruartangqertuq.
Tuntuvagtangqertuq.
There is a moose
Keglunertangertuq.
Keglunertangertuq.
There is a wolf.
Ellami

Ellami...

Outside...

 Maqaruartangqertuq.

Maqaruartangqertuq.

There is a rabbit.
Extend both arms slowly outward; bent wrists; open palms. Both hands palms outward above my head.
Keglunrem neryugaa maqaruaq.

Keglunrem neryugaa maqaruaq.

Wolf wants to eat rabbit.

 Maqaruaq iterqertuq eneminun.

Maqaruaq iterqertuq eneminun.

Rabbit escaped inside its house.
Using both hands make an eating motion. After making rabbit ears, use both arms as if swimming inside the house.
Kegluneq qanertuq...

Kegluneq qanertuq...

Wolf says...

 Itercessnga.

Itercessnga.

Let me come in!
After wolf expression, make an outward motion from your chin with one hand. Cup hands on the side of your face and say, Itercessnga! Let me come in!
Enen tengtevkarciqaqa!

Enen tengtevkarciqaqa!

I will blow our house away!

 Itercessnga.

Kegluneq cali kaigtuq.

Wolf is still hungry.
Make a roof over your head; inhale and exhale; make motion as if shooing away. With sad facial expression, make a circular motion on abdomen.
