His wives looked frightened and didn't say a word. Nobody else
said anything. The Angakok glared at them all for a moment. Then
he poked the reindeer with his fingers to see if it was fat and
said to the men, "Which portion am I to have?"

"Would you like the liver?" asked Kesshoo. He remembered about
the bear's liver, you see.

But the Angakok looked offended. "Who will have the stomach?" he
said. "You know very well that the stomach is the best part of a
reindeer."

"Take the stomach, by all means, then," said Kesshoo, politely.

Koolee and Monnie looked very much disappointed. They wanted the
stomach dreadfully.

But the Angakok answered, "Since you urge me, I will take the
stomach. I had a dream last night, and in the dream I was told by
my Tornak that today I should feed upon a reindeer's stomach,
given me by one of my grateful children. When you think how I
suffered to bring food to you, I am sure you will wish to provide
me with whatever it seems best that I should have."

He stood by while Kesshoo and Koko's father skinned the reindeer
and cut it in pieces. Then he took the stomach and disappeared
into his igloo - with his face all wreathed in smiles.
