My Dream
Moose
When I was four, and in Head Start,
my dad took me with him in the boat to check our net up at Willow
Creek, which is about six miles up the river from here. It was fall
time, just before freeze-up. I fell asleep on the way up, and I was
still asleep after my dad checked the net and slowly started back
down river. As we rounded the first bend, my dad spotted a moose
standing at the edge of the water. It was a cow moose, and it was
about 1/4 mile away. My dad stopped the motor and drifted toward the
moose until it finally waded out into the water and started to swim
across the slough. When it was about half-way across my dad floated
right up beside it. My dad then came over to me and woke me up,
saying, "Kim, look at that moose!" I got up and looked at it and
said, "huh, wow!" and went back to sleep. When we came home, my dad
asked me if I had seen that moose. I told him that I didn't remember
it. He said that I must have looked at it and thought it
was part of my dream.

My First Experience with a
Moose
On the 1st of September, 1998, some
friends, Bev, Everett, Kyle, Jackie and I went for a boat ride up to
Kwik to rod and reel for pike or whatever we could catch. We caught
nothing at all there, so we went farther up Kwik to fish. But we
still had no luck. While we were looking around in Kwik, Everett saw
a bull moose on the tundra. Jackie parked the boat, and he and
Everett ran up to the tundra to look for it. But they were too late.
It was gone.
Meanwhile, Bev and I were fishing,
but only catching grass. When Jackie and Everett came back down to
the boat, they told us to reel in our lines. Then they hurried and
pushed the boat out. When we drove around the bend we saw the moose
again swimming across the river. I started getting really excited
because that was the first time I had ever seen a moose. Since it was
in the water, we drove right next to it, and all of us almost got to
pet it. It was so cool. But the boys were circling it, and it was
getting really tired. Finally, they stopped going around it and we
let it go up the bank. When it reached the bank they shot it. I was
very excited because that was the first time I had ever encountered a
moose since I was four years old. I wished so much that I'd had my
camera. I was lucky that I was asked on that boat ride because it was
one of the most exciting experiences I've ever had.
