moose would live and prosper perhaps for many a year to 

 come, as he would always in future be duly careful to 

 keep as far away from the range of a rifle as his haunts 

 and habits would permit, and he would never, never 

 again feed in a meadow in daylight during the open 

 season, for a moose only needs to be shot at once to 

 make him forever after the most careful animal that roams 

 the wild, wild woods.
