Putuguq and Kublu are at their grandparents' house for lunch—caribou stew, Putuguq's favorite! Putuguq's worn-out (and stinky!) kamiik remind his grandparents of the story of the amautalik and the orphan, a traditional story about a little orphan who outsmarts a child-stealing ogress. Grandmother's storytelling over lunch starts Putuguq's imagination running wild.

After lunch, Putuguq and Kublu decide to act out the story their grandmother has just told. But, for Putuguq, this is no ordinary play. He is determined to prove his fearlessness to an unsuspecting Kublu. With a little help from his stinky socks!

Putuguq and Kublu set out on their adventure. They travel through the harsh Arctic terrain, facing many challenges along the way. They encounter a group of angry polar bears, a treacherous ice floe, and a fierce storm.

Despite the dangers, Putuguq and Kublu remain determined to find the amautalik. They finally reach the village of the amautalik, where they meet the wise old woman who tells them the story of the amautalik and the orphan.

The wise old woman tells them that the amautalik was a young girl who was abandoned by her family. She was left alone in the wilderness, where she was attacked by a child-stealing ogress. The ogress tried to steal the amautalik's clothes, but the amautalik outsmarted her.

The amautalik used her cleverness to trick the ogress into giving her her clothes back. She then used her clothes to create a warm shelter and a fire to keep herself warm. The amautalik lived alone in the wilderness for many years, but she was never lonely. She had the wilderness to herself and the animals to keep her company.

Putuguq and Kublu are inspired by the story of the amautalik and the orphan. They realize that they too can be brave and clever in the face of danger. They use what they have learned from the story to get the best of each other.

Putuguq uses his fearlessness to scare off the polar bears, while Kublu uses her cleverness to outsmart the ogress. They work together to overcome the challenges they face and eventually find the amautalik.

When they reach the amautalik, they are greeted by a group of friendly Inuit people. The amautalik is overjoyed to see them and tells them that they have been chosen to be the new guardians of the amautalik.

Putuguq and Kublu are thrilled to be given this responsibility. They know that they will have to work hard to protect the amautalik and the wilderness from harm. They also know that they will have to use their bravery and cleverness to get the best of each other.

As they leave the village, Putuguq and Kublu are filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. They have proven that they are brave and clever, and they have been chosen to be the new guardians of the amautalik.

They return to their grandparents' house, where they share their adventure with their family. Everyone is amazed by their bravery and cleverness, and they are proud of them for being chosen to be the new guardians of the amautalik.

From that day on, Putuguq and Kublu are known as the brave and clever guardians of the amautalik. They continue to explore the wilderness and learn about the Inuit mythology from their elders. They use what they have learned to get the best of each other and to protect the amautalik and the wilderness from harm.
