Snake: A Passamaquoddy Legend
Of old times there was a very beautiful woman who turned the heads of all the men. She married, and her husband died very soon after, but she immediately took another and within a single year she had five husbands, and these were the cleverest and handsomest and bravest in the tribe - and then she married again.
This, the sixth, was such a silent man that he passed for a fool but he was wiser than people thought and he came to believe, by thinking it over, that this woman had some strange secret. He resolved to find it out, so he watched her all the time and he kept his eye on her by night and by day.
It was summer, and she proposed to go into the woods to pick berries, and to camp there, when they were in the forest she suggested that he should go on to the spot where they intended to remain and build a wigwam and he said that he would do so but he went a little way into the woods and watched her.
As soon as she believed that he was gone, she rose and walked rapidly onwards, yet he followed her, unseen until she came to a deep, wild place among the rocks, and then a pond. She sat down and sang a song, soon, great foam rose to the surface of the water, then in the foam appeared the tail of a serpent of immense size.
The woman, who had laid aside all her garments, embraced the serpent, which twined around her, enveloping all her limbs and body in his slick grasp and the husband watched it all - He now understood that, the venom of the serpent having entered the woman, she had saved her life by transferring it to others, who died.
He went on to the camping ground and built a wigwam and was intelligent enough to make up two beds; he built a fire and soon enough, his wife came. She was earnest that there should be only a single bed but he sternly made her lie by herself making the woman afraid of him, yet she lay down, and went to sleep and in the morning he shook her and She was dead - She had died by the poison of the serpent.
