And Nanuk remembers a story or maybe a fairy tale Grandpa Green Sleeve and Grandma White Feather used to tell him.
Do you know the snow zebra, boy, Grandpa Green Sleeve asked.
Oh, husband, Grandma smiled, how is our little boy from the Polar Region supposed to know African animals? Your words not mine.
And Grandpa grumbled but not in an angry way. I am not talking about them zebras. I am talking about the snow zebra, one of the rarest animals in the Northern Polar Territories and the whole wide world.
I have never seen one, Grandpa, Nanuk used to say excited and curiously.
You can bet on that, Grandpa Green Sleeve always answered.
