Piekäinen, Bear, undated
When the chesty, fierce-furred bear becomes sick he travels
the mountainsides and the fields, searching for certain grasses, flowers,
leaves and herbs, that hold within themselves the power of healing. He eats, he
grows stronger. Could you, oh clever one, do this? Do you know anything about
where you live, what if offers? Have you ever said, “Sir Bear, teach me. I am a
customer of death coming, and would give you a pot of honey and my house on the
western hills to know what you know?”
