" so saying , she sped faster than any could follow her to the margin of the fairy wood , and in a moment was lost to sight . as she had often thus withdrawn herself from the lodge , the parents were not in fear , but confidently awaited her return . hour chased hour , as the clouds of evening rolled up in the west ; darkness came on , but no daughter returned . with torches they hastened to the wood , and although they lit up every dark recess and leafy gloom , their search was in vain . leelinau was nowhere to be seen . they called aloud , in lament , upon her name , but she answered not . suns rose and set , but nevermore in their light did the bereaved parents eyes behold the lost form of their beloved child . their daughter was lost indeed . whither she had vanished no mortal tongue could tell ; although it chanced that a company of fishermen , who were spearing fish near the spirit grove , descried something that seemed to resemble a female figure standing on the shore . as the evening was mild and the waters calm , they cautiously pulled their canoe toward land , but the slight ripple of their oars excited alarm . the figure fled in haste , but they could recognize in the shape and dress as she ascended the bank , the lost daughter , and they saw the green plumes of her fairy - lover waving over his forehead as he glided lightly through the forest of young pines . | worried . | how will leelinau's parents feel when leelinau did not return ? | GEM-FairytaleQA-train-1524 | how will leelinau's parents feel when leelinau did not return ? | [] | summary | prediction | implicit |
leelinau-the-lost-daughter | it had been her custom to pass many of her hours in her favorite place of retirement , under a broad - topped young pine , whose leaves whispered in every wind that blew ; but most of all in that gentle murmur of the air at the evening hour , dear to lovers , when the twilight steals on . thither she now repaired , and , while reclining pensively against the young pine - tree , she fancied that she heard a voice addressing her . at first it was scarcely more than a sigh ; presently it grew more clear , and she heard it distinctly whisper-- " maiden ! think me not a tree ; but thine own dear lover ; fond to be with thee in my tall and blooming strength , with the bright green nodding plume that waves above thee . thou art leaning on my breast , leelinau ; lean forever there and be at peace . fly from men who are false and cruel , and quit the tumult of their dusty strife , for this quiet , lonely shade . | spent a lot of time with it . | why will leelinau love the spirit as a lover ? | GEM-FairytaleQA-train-1525 | why will leelinau love the spirit as a lover ? | [] | local | action | implicit |
leelinau-the-lost-daughter | day by day , these strange communings with unseen beings drew away the heart of leelinau more and more from the simple duties of the lodge , and she walked among her people , melancholy and silent , like a spirit who had visited them from another land . the pastimes which engaged the frolic moments of her young companions , passed by her as little trivial pageants in which she had no concern . when the girls of the neighboring lodges assembled to play at the favorite female game of pappus - e - ko - waun , or the block and string , before the lodge - door , leelinau would sit vacantly by , or enter so feebly into the spirit of the play as to show that it was irksome to her . again , in the evening , when the young people formed a ring around the lodge , and the piepeend - jigun , or leather and bone , passed rapidly from one to the other , she either handed it along without attempting to play , or if she took a part , it was with no effort to succeed . the time of the corn - gathering had come , and the young people of the tribe were assembled in the field , busy in plucking the ripened maize . one of the girls , noted for her beauty , had found a red ear , and every one congratulated her that a brave admirer was on his way to her father 's lodge . she blushed , and hiding the trophy in her bosom , she thanked the good spirit that it was a red ear , and not a crooked , that she had found . presently it chanced that one who was there among the young men , espied in the hands of leelinau , who had plucked it indifferently , one of the crooked kind , and at once the word " wa - ge - min ! " was shouted aloud through the field , and the whole circle was set in a roar . " the thief is in the corn - field ! " exclaimed the young man , iagoo by name , and famous in the tribe for his mirthful powers of story - telling ; " see you not the old man stooping as he enters the field ? see you not signs that he crouched as he crept in the dark ? is it not plain by this mark on the stalk that he was heavily bent in his back ? old man ! be nimble , or some one will take thee while thou art taking the ear .
