ROBBIE AND THE MOOSE. 



The moose, which is now never seen except in Northern Maine, 

 IS a strange-looking animal. He is large, with great, spreading 

 horns, and is very ungraceful and clumsy. 



Most little boys and girls would be frightened to meet so queer 



an animal in the woods. And 

 Eobbie True, a little friend 

 of the writer, wa^ much 

 scared when he fii'st saw one. 

 Robbie was on a visit to 

 his uncle in Caribou, a town 

 near the border of Maine. One clear morning in March Robbie 

 and his dog Scott went out of doors to walk on the hard crust 

 that had formed on the snow.
