Missionary:
The Lord be with you.
Inuk:
No, just Asiak, Powtee and me. We do not know Lord.
Missionary:
A very short sleep ago, you both offended Him.
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.
Asiak:
[whispers to Inuk]
We do not want another with us.
Inuk:
Maybe he good hunter.
[to Missionary]
Inuk:
We will be pleased if your friend comes with us.
Asiak:
He must bring his own sled. Will this Lord bring everything He needs?
Missionary:
He will bring you faith.
Inuk:
[Puzzled look on face]
Faith?
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...
Missionary:
[Pushing bowl away]
I come to give, not to receive.
Asiak:
It is old marrow, it is much better, it is old and full of worms...
Missionary:
Maybe another time, not right now.
Inuk:
[whispers to Asiak]
Has this white man come to insult us?
Missionary:
Men don't live by bread alone.
Asiak:
[to Inuk]
Maybe he wants to laugh with a woman.
