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. It was an accident,
but Kesshoo reached up and took hold of Menie's foot and pulled
him down on to the sleeping bench and rolled him over among the
skins.

"Crawl in there and go to sleep," he said.

Monnie let herself down through the roof by her hands and crept
in beside Menie. Then Kesshoo and Koolee wrapped themselves in
the warm skins and lay down, too.

It took Menie and Monnie some time to go to sleep, for they could
look straight up through the roof at the sky, and the sky was
bright and blue with little white clouds sailing over it.
Besides, they were thinking about the wonderful things that would
happen when they should wake up.
