While unconscious, Maka Maka continues to sink...
The shark waited with its mouth open wide
Watch out, Maka Maka! At that moment,
A huge animal scooped up Maka Maka on his back and surfaced at dazzling speed
"Are you all right?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Shiba, I'm a fur seal"
"Thank you for saving us"
"I'm glad you're safe"
"I'm now headed to St. Paul Island. Care to join me?"
As Shiba swam, he told a story he heard from his grandfather
"Until a little while ago,
we were in an extinction crisis." said Shiba "Extinction?" said MakaMaka
"Extinction means when one's comrades those like us
steadily disappears until the last one dies and cease to exist" replied Shiba
That was a story from long time ago
Humans were steadily killing fur seals for their fine fur,
because it was high quality and very popular. But humans finally noticed that the fur seal was on the verge of extinction
Now, there are no humans who come to the island to kill fur seals
Maka Maka and PuPu trembled with fear as they listened to the horrible story
At last,they arrived at St. Paul Island!
"We are in St. Paul Island! Yeah!"
Just then, they spotted a bird that looked like a fish swimming in the ocean
"Hello! I'm a horned puffin. Where do you come from?"
The horned puffin came from Hokkaido, Japan
It is a migratory bird
"By the way, do you know the story of the Hokkaido wolf?"
"Hokkaido wolf?" Maka Maka and PuPu listened with excitement about the story
of how only the brave can see the Hokkaido wolf
"They say that a wolf lives in Hokkaido
But I doubt it since I've never seen it....
Oh my! Is it really that time already! I've got to go home!" The horned puffin flew in a hurry.
They wanted to meet the Hokkaido wolf
"Let's go to Hokkaido!" dotoolootooloo...
Just then, they could see land on the other side of the ocean
"Ah, that must be Hokkaido"
Maka Maka dove into the ocean and swam vigorously
During the swim, PuPu suddenly yelled loudly!
"PiPiPiPiPi!"
A big animal approached behind Maka Maka!
"I'm Paula and this is Uri. Nice to meet you!" It was a Polar bear mother and her son
Paula,Uri, Maka Maka and PuPu became fast friends
However, they were not in Hokkaido
They were a little disappointed, but Paula invited them into their house
and had them rest awhile
They were all having an enjoyable time at Paula's house
However, Maka Maka and PuPu needed to go to Hokkaido before the cold winter came
Paula and Uri guided them through a shortcut to Hokkaido
"We'll come to see you again!" "Thank you! Good-bye!"
Paula and Uri saw them off until they couldn't be seen
At last, they arrived in Hokkaido "We'll be able to encounter the legendary Hokkaido wolf!!"
However, anybody they asked,
no one knew of the Hokkaido wolf. They were tired from walking and decided to rest
under the shade from the trees
"Hum......."
"Where did you come from?"
The sleepy Maka Maka woke up to take a look.He was snuggled by a soft and fluffy, warm body...
"Who are you?"
