The name of the twins' father was Kesshoo. If you say it fast it sounds just like a sneeze. Their mother's name was Koolee. Kesshoo and Koolee, and Menie and Monnie, and Nip and Tup, all live together in the cold Arctic winter in a little stone hut, called an "igloo." In the summer they live in a tent, which they call a "tupik." The winters are very long and cold, and what do you think!
Koolee brought out some walrus meat and blubber for supper, though it might just as well be called breakfast, for there was no night coming, and the twins ate theirs sitting on the roof of the igloo with their feet hanging down inside. Once Menie's feet kicked his father's head.
Nip and Tup were trying to get their noses into the circle with the other dogs, but the big dogs snapped at them and drove them away, so Menie got some scraps and fed them. Meanwhile Koolee stood by the sledge and divided the meat among her neighbors. First she gave one of the hind legs to the wives of the Angakok, because he always had to have the best of everything.
"We thought we were left," wailed Monnie! "As if I could leave you behind!" cried Koolee. She laughed at them. "Hand up the skins to me," she said. She reached her arm down the hole and pulled out all the skins from the bed as fast as the twins gave them to her. Then she put her head down into the opening and looked all around. "We haven't left a thing," she said; "come along."
Tooky was crouching in the snow in front of the tunnel, trying to fight off the other two dogs and guard the meat at the same time. She wasn't doing a thing with her tail, but she was very busy with all the rest of her. Her tail was pointed right toward the tunnel. The moment she saw it Koolee seized the tail with both hands and jerked it like everything! Tooky was so surprised she yelped.
