When the world was taking shape, a woman named Guk decided to make an animal out of her sealskin parka. It had whiskers, wrinkles and flippers, but also huge antlers. The antlers were a problem because they got in the way of the kayaks. Then she made a caribou from her sealskin pants. It was was big with tusks and everything. But the tusks also seemed wrong. How can Guk put the right things on the right animals?
