AND learn more about qiviut!
Copyright
Once there was a little musk ox with an itch he couldn t scratch. It had been a long winter, and he felt like he d been in the same clothes for nine months. His sloping horns were too short and too low on his head to reach his itchy back.
Good-for-nothing horns! he grumbled. The itch had put him in a very bad mood.

The little musk ox tried not to think about the itch. He tried humming. He tried running in circles. The itch only spread. To his neck, to his belly, to a spot right above his nose.
The woolly-scratchy-itchiness was driving him wild!
