"Nevermore, old Väinämöinen, Nevermore in all thy life-time, While the golden moonlight glistens, Nevermore wilt fix thy vision On the meadows of Väinölä, On the plains of Kalevala; Full six years must swim the ocean, Tread the waves for seven summers, Eight years ride the foamy billows, In the broad expanse of water; Six long autumns as a fir-tree, Seven winters as a pebble; Eight long summers as an aspen!"

Lemminkäinen: Guys, I didn’t memorize my lines!  Väinämöinen: Just use your lack of common sense! Everyone knows the characters in plays are dumb!  *During the play*  Ilmarinen: Hey! You finally made it! Did you get the donuts?  Lemminkäinen: W-what’re donuts?

Kalevala kysymys: Vajosiko Joukahainen suohon talvella vai kesällä?
Runossa mainitaan reki. Eiks reki kulje vaan lumella?
"Säret länget länkäpuiset, vesapuiset vempelehet, korjani pilastehiksi, rämäksi re'en retukan!"
Mainitaan lumi:
"Siellä silma lauletahan, lauletahan, lausitahan
suin lumehen, päin vitihin, kourin ilmahan kovahan,”
Sit mainitaan myös kintaat, jotka muuttuu lumpeiksi. "Lakin lauloi miehen päästä pilven pystypää kokaksi; lauloi kintahat käestä umpilammin lumpehiksi"
Mainitaan suo ja niitty:
”Itsen lauloi Joukahaisen: lauloi suohon suonivöistä, niittyhyn nivuslihoista, kankahasen kainaloista.”
Runon alussa mainitaan suvi:
”Viestit vierähti suvehen, sai sanomat Pohjolahan.”
Niin että ööö voiko reki tarkoittaa myös vaunuja vai mitä häh?
Tarttis kuvitusprojektia varten päättää onko kesä vai talvi kuvassa.

The story goes (in Kalevala): Joukahainen promised Aino, his sister, as a wife to Väinämöinen after he lost a fight against old man. Aino didn't want that. She ran home crying, telling her mother she would rather become a bride to a fish than marry Väinämöinen. When Väinämöinen tired to get her later, Aino ran into a water, drowning herself.
Adding this story here even that I added it in tags as well.
