Just then I saw how I had made the mukluks. They were so sharp they somehow looked like a little mouse's nose. I used to make anything then, even out of seal intestines. I used to wash the intestines in water, then blow them up, and then dry them. One time after scraping them, I soaked the seal intestines in a hole in the ground that had water in it. I put them in and I filled it up with more water. While they were in the hole in the ground I used to go and check them every once in awhile. Then I took them out, washed them, and blew them up. After I blew them up, I hung them out to dry. When they were dry I started working on them the way I saw other people do it. I kept on doing it that way thinking I really wanted to make something special. So I made a gut window, and then I put the window in our house. It was our window for a long time, and when it was ruined I threw it away and made another one just like it."
