Eskimos Hunting
Two Eskimos set out to hunt the fur bearing seals of the Arctic, They loaded their small, two man canoe with all the gear they'd need and sailed out into the cold ocean waters.
Their hunt was very successful, so successful, in fact, that the boat was overladen with seals and seal skins. They had to throw many of their supplies away in order to stash their rich cache of furs. On their way back to their village, they encountered a fierce storm. In order to survive, they knew that they'd have to build a fire to keep warm; but they had thrown all their fuel out of the boat. Nevertheless, they managed to build a small fire in the craft, but the fire blew out of control, sinking the boat and causing the loss of all the furs.
