He ran to get it, and then the twins and the pups all four started for Koko's house. Koko's house was clear at the other end of the village. But that was not far away, for there were only five igloos in the whole town. First there was the igloo where the twins lived. Next was the home of Akla, the Angakok, and his two wives. Then there were two igloos where several families lived together.
They had listened to every word about the Old Woman of the Sea, and how the Angakok traveled to the moon. You know I told you before that Koko was six. He wanted to know all about things. So he spoke right out in the dark, when every one else was still. He said, "Mother, if the Angakok can go anywhere he wants to, why couldn't he get out of the tunnel?" Koko's mother tried to hush him up.
He looked upon Koko as a friend, but when a friend of Koko's a bird with an inquisitive mind and three red feathers in his tail dropped in one day to inspect the newcomer, he resented the intrusion, and screamed. He had a passion for flowers, or anything bright.
Then he said, "If Koko's father will go, too, you and Koko may both go with us. You are pretty small to go hunting, but boys cannot begin too early to learn." Menie was wild with joy. He rushed to Koko's house and told him and his father what Kesshoo had said. When he had finished, Koko's father said at once, "Tell Kesshoo we will go." It was not long before they were ready to start.
"Sh, sh," she said, and put her hand over his mouth. At least she thought she did, but she made a mistake in the dark and put her hand over Menie's mouth instead! Menie tried to say, "I never said a word," but he could only make queer sounds, because Koko's mother's hand was tight on his mouth.
