The Bearded Seal and the Otter
Once there was this seal that dived into the water
and it bumped into something. He came up to the surface to look
around and while he was looking around he saw this otter grinning at
him.
Finally the otter said, "Why don't you watch out
for things when you dive? Maybe your eyebrows are too
long?"
The bearded seal answered, "Well you must've put
something there if they are, and anyway I say my eyebrows are
okay."
"I didn't put anything there; your eyebrows need
to be cut," the otter replied.
The bearded seal finally believed him and followed
him to shore to get his eyebrows cut. The otter got two stones, and
after putting one stone down, the bearded seal placed his eyebrows on
top of it. Then the otter said, "When I put this other stone on top
of it and sit on it you pull as hard as you can."
As he put the stone on top of the seal's eyebrows
and sat on it, the bearded seal pulled and pulled and pulled until
finally his eyebrows were cut off.
"It is so bright out!," the bearded seal
exclaimed. The otter just stared at him and when the bearded seal
noticed, he asked, "Why are you staring so much?"
The otter replied, "Your eyes are so small, I
thought you had large eyes. I hope your vision doesn't get
ruined."
So the otter started looking around for something
to make his eyes bigger and when he came back he showed him two round
see-through stones.
"Try putting these on," the otter said. And after
the bearded seal put them on, he said,"Everything is so easy to see
now. "Thank you!"
In repayment the bearded seal gave the otter some
clams. The otter thanked him and was about to leave when the bearded
seal told him to come to him if he ever needed food.
After the otter left the bearded seal looked
around again. He now had large round eyes. And from that time on
bearded seals have had big round eyes.
