Inuk: Oh, we did not know. One must apologize.
Missionary: If you will listen to my words and believe in me,the Lord will come and stay with you and follow you in all your travels.

Missionary: That wonderful light that drives back the shadows of sin.
Inuk: [after a moment's thought] OH, light, LIGHT, ahhh...
Asiak: It is good, Inuk,if it is the kind at the trading post, we could save it up for the winter, and our eyes will not get tired anymore...
Inuk: [Offering missionary a bowl of food with live worms wriggling in it] Here is something you will like...
