One time a man found two young wolf pups on the beach. He took them
home and raised them and one day after they were grown the man saw them go out into the
ocean and kill a whale. They brought the whale back to shore so the man could eat.
Every day it went like this. The wolves would go out and kill whales and bring back the
meat. Soon there was so much meat lying around on the beach it was going bad. When the
Great Above Person saw this he made a storm and brought down a fog and the wolves could
not find any whales to kill. The waves were so high the wolves could not even find their
way back. They had to stay out there. Those wolves became sea wolves. Whale hunters.
