A moose strolls on a winter night
A moose often strolls at night. Breathing in the fresh air. The air at night is especially fresh. A moose is big. Like a horse. With antlers. You'd imagine it. That's what some little animals say. When they see a moose for the first time. Especially at night. But all the little animals here are kind. And smart. The moose says hello to them all. And invites them in for tea.
For now, there's a field. And fir trees. No one yet. There was a squirrel. A crow. I saw a hare in the distance. It was also white as snow. You could barely see it. But it didn't see the moose. And ran off somewhere toward the forest. Lots of birds, they're cheerful friends. They sit on the branches above.
For now, today is a quiet winter night. It snowed heavily all day. A lot. It was even chilly. Even for a moose. But a moose can take refuge among the fir trees. It's warmer there. The fir trees are warm and kind.
And so the moose came out into the field. He walks and watches. Waits for the moon to rise. Soon the clouds will thin out a bit, and just like yesterday, the moon will be in the sky. To illuminate. To illuminate the winter field. Probably, there are kind and cheerful little animals living there too, on the moon. Maybe birds even fly there. But the moose probably doesn't know about this.
Winter is a time for walks. And you can think about all sorts of things. Summer is busy. And winter is more boring. You can walk and wander. Such a mood. And there's snow all around. So white. Like light or water. Or the moon.
The fur is large and warm, it protects well from the cold. It's so much fun to kick the snow around with your feet. Just walking and sinking into the snow. Your feet sink into the snow. As if it were water. Or something very soft. And slightly cool.
Snow falls on the fur too. And then it disappears. And the feet keep moving forward. And they pass through the snow. Sometimes there's a lot of snow. It's like walking through a swamp. At night, under the moon. Through a white swamp of snow. You sink almost halfway. And a moose is a big one.
What an adventure. A moose is an explorer. And he goes on these hikes for days. To map the snow. For other animals. So they don't fall through.
Usually there isn't that much snow. Less than half a foot. Or even less than that. For a moose, it's nothing. The snow just scatters in all directions, and it's fun. It's so wonderful to be such a furry creature.
And look for interesting passages between the fir trees. In different directions. Where does this path lead? And where does the other one lead? In the summer, everything here gets overgrown. And these paths are covered with tall grass. And now – these are paths. Now the moose will take one of these winter paths. For a walk. And then he'll go home. From such a hike. In the house for tea and sleep!
Walking at night is so interesting. Everything is so white and dark. And all around there's nothing but snow. And fir trees somewhere in the distance. As a landmark. The moose loves to stroll like this.
