Arctic Adventure, Chapter Two

Aput went fox hunting, as it was turning winter and arctic foxes have the warmest fur and can survive -58 F, aka -50 C. He put a seal-skin glove on, put a seal-skin hood on his gyrfalcon, hitched the dogs to his sled, and went to a village, where he borrowed a yakut/yakutian horse (horse breed that lives in the arctic and has long fur), because to spot a fox he had to go up a mountain, which a sled can't do. Then he rode up a mountain with his gyrfalcon. He soon spotted a fox and took the hood of the falcon. It immediately dived at the fox, and soon overtook it. Then Aput rode up and was about to kill and skin it when twelve pups (pups can be baby sharks, seals, dogs, wolves, mice, rats and lemurs). Aput knew that if he killed the mother fox that the young foxes would die, so he let the fox go free.

No school!

My sisters and I are home schooled, and the last week we didn't have to do school, doing fun activities instead, such as volleyball, egg and spoon race, and a game in which there are two teams who take turns carrying as much water as they can from one bowl to another in cups on their heads, spilling as least water as they can. The team with the most water in the 2nd bowl at the end of the game wins!
