When Menie called the dogs, the dogs thought they were going to
be harnessed, so they hid behind the igloo arid pretended they
didn't hear. Koko and Menie followed them, but the moment they
got near, the dogs bounded away. They went round to the front of
the igloo and ran into the tunnel.

Koolee was just turning the meat in the pan with a pointed stick.
There was a piece of bear's meat lying on the bench.

The dogs smelled the meat. They stuck their heads into the room,
and when Koolee's back was turned, Tooky stole the meat!

Just then Koolee turned around. She saw Tooky. She shrieked, "Oh,
my meat, my meat!" and whacked Tooky across the nose with the
snow stick!

But Tooky was bound to have the meat. She ran out of the tunnel
with it in her mouth, just as Menie and Koko got round to the
front of the igloo once more.

"I-yi! I-yii" they screamed, "Tooky's got the meat!" Kesshoo
caught up his dog-whip and came running from the storehouse.

The other two dogs wanted the meat too. They flew at Tooky and
snarled and fought with her to get it.

Then Koolee's head appeared in the tunnel hole! 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.
