The Father Moose Protects 
The moose family lived 
in the great north woods. 
They did not eat grass, but 
fed on fir balsam and 
alder twigs which grew all 
about them. 
When they ran through 
the woods the male held 
his head back, so that the 
branches would not catch 
on his great, wide, spread¬ 
ing antlers. 
They came to a muddy 
pond, and while the 
mother and baby moose 
lay down in the water to 
keep off the flies, the 
father moose stood guard.
