Kakoa woke up floating among a group of sea otters. He called greeting to each of them and then went in search of food. After he had eaten and frolicked for a bit with some whales, he found a smooth rock outcropping in the ocean and pulled himself up to sun. As he sat there he began the process of assembling his gift for the beautiful Alice. He spent the day tirelessly winding the plant materials he had laid out to dry the day before into a cord and twining that cord into a necklace. He laced the shells through the necklace as he twined and wound it. Finally by late afternoon he sat back and gazed at the gift that he had fashioned for Alice, desperately hoping that she would like his humble present.
