THE ESKIMO TWINS
This is the true story of Menie and Monnie and their two little
dogs, Nip and Tup.
Menie and Monnie are twins, and they live far away in the North,
near the very edge.
They are five years old.
Menie is the boy, and Monnie is the girl. But you cannot tell
which is Menie and which is Monnie, - not even if you look ever
so hard at their pictures!
That is because they dress alike.
When they are a little way off even their own mother can't always
tell. And if she can't, who can?
Sometimes the twins almost get mixed up about it themselves. And
then it is very hard to know which is Nip and which is Tup,
because the little dogs are twins too.
Nobody was surprised that the little dogs were twins, because
dogs often are.
But everybody in the whole village where Menie
and Monnie live was simply astonished to see twin
babies!
They had never known of any before in their whole lives.
Old Akla, the Angakok, or Medicine Man of the village, shook his
head when he heard about them. He said, "Such a thing never
happened here before.
