Explanation:
<em>The People Could Fly: American Black Folktales, Volume 1</em> by Virginia Hamilton and Leo Dillon is a collection of stories based on the folktales of the Blacks. This children storybook contains numerous chapters, one of which is Wiley, His Mama and The Hairy Man, which the given excerpt is based from.
The given excerpt tells of the scene after the Hairy Man left dejected after failing to procure the child, Wiley from his mama. Mama had fooled him into thinking that he would get the boy but it was the young pig in the bed under the covers. In his frustration, <em>"he knocked down trees and let loose rocks and boulders all the way"</em>, resulting in the <em>"big, wide path right through the swamp just like a cyclone cut along through it"</em>.
This excerpt is from the falling action of the story, for it brought an end to the story.
