Weather Story

:
Weather Story

A long time ago when Willie Fitka Jr. and Willie Paul were moose hunting the wind started to blow really hard. They couldn't see 20 feet in front of them. They spotted Alvin Owletuck looking for Alo Coffee. They helped look for Alo and only found his snowmachine tracks heading for Marshall. They started to head for home. At Lower Muddy Lakes they couldn't see 5 feet in front of them.They followed Alvin across the lake. Alvin had a compass which helped them cross the lake in the snow blizzard. The rest of the way to Marshall was not as windy as it was in Lower Muddy Lakes. They did not need the compass anymore and they all made it home safely.
