A seal Hunt
One day early in the morning the sun was out and it was very calm
with hardly any wind blowing. II had breakfast, then woke my brother
up. My brother told me to get ready. So I did. When we both were
ready we went down to the dock.
After we started up the kick-er in our boat we headed off towards
the ocean. lt sure was really calm and the sun was shining on the
water. But the reflection was bothering my eyes, so I had to put on
my sunglasses.
We decided to stop along the ocean shore a ways and look around
for seals. As we were
looking, I asked my brother if he wanted to have lunch?
He said "yes", so I went down to the boat and got the grub. I had a lot of
fun looking around while the sun kept me warm. Then my brother told
me to push the boat down.
Later on we went out into the ocean again. It was cold. He stopped
the motor. And we sat there for about half and hour. As we were
looking, my brother saw something. I had a hard time seeing because
the sun was too bright for my eyes. When he pointed out a seal
swimming in the water, then I saw it.
My brother told me to wait till it was close enough to get a
perfect shot. So I waited for about 5 minutes until at last it was
close enough. I shot it, and got it some where around the head. It
dived fast so my brother and I waited till it came up from under the
water. When it did it was far away from us. He started the motor and
we went over to where it dived again. It popped up and I shot it once
more. I hit it good this time and it stayed up for a while just
floating on the surface of the water. But even though we sped over to
it, before we got to the seal it drowned.
So we headed back home again. As we were traveling I watched
the
beautiful mountains and said to myself, "I wish the world could be
like this all the time." When we arrived back in the village we went
straight up to our house. It sure felt good to be home be-cause the
house was so warm. My dad asked us what we had seen. I replied that
we had shot one seal but it had drowned. My dad said only "Maybe next
time you'll catch one." I agreed.
