A tipi was erected in a clearing by the river. Children ran around in play with sticks yelling to each other in animal immitations. Slowly out of the trees on the other side of the waterway a male moose emerged from the trees. “Moo!!” It belled. The children all smiled and laughed and two adult heads peeped out of the tipi amused and surprised at the impromptu visit. It’s a great day.

Hihi!
