How the whales became an orca!

 One day these two friends named Segenam witch means "lazy" and his friend Otaktay and his name means "kills many",Segenam was a whale and Otaktay was a shark they where swimming around when to hunters from the Skagit tribe try to come kill them for lunch they swammed as fast as they can until one of them shot Otaktay with a arrow so Segenam went  to go get help but before he knew it the tribe ran away with grabbing Otaktay he grabbed Otaktay and swammed until he got back to the village where he took Otaktay  to the doctor where he got patched up.From that day on Segenam waited every day of the week to get back at the Skagit Tribe he started to turned black  and white spots cover him.So now every time he sees something to eat he kills them.
