I Never Want to See Eyes Like That Again!

:

I Never Want to See Eyes Like That Again!

"When I was a child I'd never seen a moose up close before, only from a distance. The first time I saw a moose up close was when I went berry picking with my son Leo many years ago. Leo, Pal and I were on our way upriver to Kwik when we saw two moose on the beach. We slowed down and passed very close to them, and I could see they were a cow and a calf. But while we were passing them they got scared and ran into the trees. I was really excited to see them. The one thing I remember about them was that they both had really big eyes. Those eyes scared me so much that I never want to see eyes like that again! After that we went to pick berries. That was the only time I ever saw a moose up close in my whole life."
