But the holluschickie and Sea Catch , his father , and all the other seals laughed at him when he told them what he had discovered , and a young seal about his own age said , `` This is all very well , Kotick , but you ca n't come from no one knows where and order us off like this . Remember we 've been fighting for our nurseries , and that 's a thing you never did . You preferred prowling about in the sea . '' The other seals laughed at this , and the young seal began twisting his head from side to side . He had just married that year , and was making a great fuss about it . `` I 've no nursery to fight for , '' said Kotick . `` I only want to show you all a place where you will be safe . What 's the use of fighting ? '' `` Oh , if you 're trying to back out , of course I 've no more to say , '' said the young seal with an ugly chuckle . `` Will you come with me if I win ? '' said Kotick . And a green light came into his eye , for he was very angry at having to fight at all . `` Very good , '' said the young seal carelessly . `` If you win , I 'll come . '' He had no time to change his mind , for Kotick 's head was out and his teeth sunk in the blubber of the young seal 's neck . Then he threw himself back on his haunches and hauled his enemy down the beach , shook him , and knocked him over . Then Kotick roared to the seals : `` I 've done my best for you these five seasons past . I 've found you the island where you 'll be safe , but unless your heads are dragged off your silly necks you wo n't believe . I 'm going to teach you now . Look out for yourselves ! ''
Limmershin told me that never in his life -- and Limmershin sees ten thousand big XXXXX fighting every year -- never in all his little life did he see anything like Kotick 's charge into the nurseries .
