Kaka and Kuku

Kaka and Kuku

Once long ago there were these two swans who were married. They lived near the Askinuk Mountains. They had two baby swans named Kuku and Kaka. The babies were always getting into trouble.

One time when they didn't listen to their parents their parents were so angry they left them all alone. The two babies started crying and Kuku asked, "Why did they leave us anyway?"

"I don't know," said Kaka.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Kaka. "Lets go look for them," said Kaka. "Okay." Replied Kuku. So they searched and searched and searched, but for a long time they couldn't find them.

Finally, after they walked for many hours Kaka and Kuku found their mom and dad. Kaka and Kuku were so happy that they started crying. Their mom said that they left them alone like that because they weren't listening to her and their dad. "I'm sorry," said Kaka. "me too," said Kuku. "We will never get into mischief or disobey you again," said Kaka. "We promise," said Kuku. "From now on we are going to obey and help you and dad," added Kaka.

The married couple were happy with what Kaka and Kuku had said and they started laughing and singing. In this way they lived happily ever after.
