The village elders were getting really concerned because the people finally started leaving their own villages. And they felt very ashamed, and very embarrassed. So they wrote a letter to all the people inviting them to a meeting. During this meeting someone said she had found some seeds that could bring the trees back to life. So they decided to plant the seeds. After they thought all the animals were gone from the area they threw the seeds all over the area and splashed water on it. And within ten days they had a forest of trees.
But something very wrong happened. A funny looking moose came out of the forest and ran up to the people. He was really surprised to see that he had little trees growing on his head. Somehow some of the seeds must have been planted on top of his head. The people were puzzled as to what to call them and they thought and thought about it for many days. Finally an old woman told the people to call them antlers. And so that moose got its antlers.
