He killed the noble Mudjokivis.
Of the skin he made him mittens,
Made them with the fur side inside,
Made them with the skin side outside.

Put the inside skin side outside;
He, to get the cold side outside,
Put the warm side fur side inside.
That's why he put the fur side inside,
Why he put the skin side outside,
Why he turned them inside outside.

There's a skin without and a skin within,
A covering skin and a lining skin,
But the read more

And dullest nonsense read more

Tan tools of sharp or subtle edges,
And dullest nonsense has been found
By some to be the most profound.
