One summer season

There once lived a young Eskimo hunter in a log cabin on a mountain beside the sea. Near his cabin were beautiful big spruce trees, flowers, and lots of wild animals.

This young Eskimo loved to hunt in the sea, and he would bring the sea animals that he caught to his cabin by kayak. He also believed that if he caught a black seal, he would get 3 wishes.

Later the young Eskimo was out in the sea paddling his kayak away, and just as he was peering at the ocean wave, he saw something that looked like a black shadow on the water. He searched hard trying to figure out what he saw. As he was peering at it, he somehow knew it was a black seal. He rushed towards it, but the black seal escaped by diving down to the deep sea. He waited patiently until the black seal popped up in front of the kayak,

then the young Eskimo threw his spear and harpooned the seal. He harpooned it somewhere in its neck. The young Eskimo brought the seal ashore, and he was happy. Then he remembered that he would get 3 wishes, so he wished for a brand new kayak, better cabin, and a whole lifetime of food. He waited for a long time but nothing hapened. His wishes did not come true. So he kept on hunting more black seals. But nothing happened, he thought. He didn't realize that by catching a whole bunch of black seals he had already almost caught a lifetime of food.
