Anipam came into the cabin, first brushing the snow from her shoulders and kicking the snow from her boots. She scratched Kayneeahtoh behind his ears, softly cursing him for the growl, "Where are you from? No manners for friends, eh?" Augusta looked at her kindly.
Anipam remembered the reason for her visit. She unbuttoned her parka and retireved a folded skin, which she handed to Augusta.
"He got them finished rather quickly," said Augusta.
"Yes," Anipam nodded, "He sees the wolves very well."
Augusta unfolded the skin to reveal page after page of drawings, illustrations of each wolf in the pack, the perfect compliment to her research. "Thank him for me?"
Anipam nodded again, and began buttoning her parka. Augusta implored her to stay for a minute, but Anipam was thinking only of her warm husband, good book, and walrus stew that were waiting for her at home. She politely declined.
She stepped out into the swirling snow, strapped on her snowshoes, and pointed herself towards home. She kept herself warm by singing the songs of Anipam the Snow Owl:

A snowy owl's eggs hatched, and she started to sing.
Aa-ya-guu-ma-rraa-ya-guu-ma
Aa-ya-guu-ma-rraa-ya-guu-ma
Flap your wings
Flap your wings
When your father comes Aa, you will eat
Aa-ya-quu-maa, five big voles
Aa-ya-guu-ma-rraa-yag-uu-mai
Flap your wings, flap your wings
The baby owls started flapping their wings
When their mother told them about their food
Aa-ya-guu-ma-rraa-ya-guu-ma
Aa-ya-guu-ma-rraa-yag-uu-mai
. The snowy owls usually eat voles.
