And say, "Yes, please," and "Thank Hon," too,

Now when the ice crust forms over
the water it is sometimes very hard
for the seals to get out.
They hunt around till they find a
crack, then they punch and hammer
with their sharp teeth till the hole is
large enough to stick their heads
through.
Then the hardest work begins.
With turned back lips, the seal sets
his sharp teeth in the ice then moves
his head back and forth, back and

After some minutes of that hard work,
the seal hitches himself up in it a

hours of hard work to get tip on the
