The Eskimo Family

The first Eskimo family in St. Olaf had difficulty making friends. They sawed a hole and went salmon fishing in the middle of the local ice skating rink, one Halloween they gave all the kids whale blubber, and one time they borrowed every ice tray in town to build an addition over their garage after they had a baby.

The family ended up one of the most popular in town because in the drought of 1949, their house melted and kept the town from dehydrating.
