That's expected.

You'd have to give me more clues about what it is that puzzles you

Do you possibbly mean something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (srfi srfi-1))
scheme@(guile-user)> (take '(list 1 2 3) 4)
$1 = (list 1 2 3)
scheme@(guile-user)> (drop '(list 1 2 3) 4)
$2 = ()
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Greetings,
