	He fell asleep with a peacful heart, there in the cold
	darkness full of the whisper of water. At dawn waking he
	lifted his head; the rain had ceased; he saw, sheltered 
	in the folds of his cloak, a little animal curled up 
	asleep which had crept there for warmth. He wondered,
	seeing it, for it was a rare strange beast, an otak.
		
		These creatures are found only on four southern
	isles of the Archipelago, Roke, Ensmer, Pody and Wathort.
	They are small and sleek, with broad faces, and fur dark
	brown or brindle, and great bright eyes. Their teeth are
	cruel and their temper fierce, so they are not made pets
	of. They have no call or cry or any voice. Ged stroked 
	this one, and it woke and yawned, showing a small brown 
	tongue and white teeth, but it was not afraid.

		- Otak - he said, and then remembering the thousand 
	names of beasts he had learned in the Tower he called it by
	its true name in the Old Speech - Hoeg! Do you want to come
	with me?
		
		The otak sat itself down his open hand, and began
	wash its fur.
