Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line.
- Hiawatha realizes that he needs a canoe, so he travels into the forest and takes the bark and sap from the trees to make himself one.
- Apparently, Hiawatha doesn't need paddles for his canoe because the thing will just go in whatever direction he wants it to.
- At one point, Hiawatha hits a sandbar and asks his buddy Kwasind to get rid of it. Kwasind wastes no time in clearing the waterway.
