Not within the memory of the oldest settlers had there been a winter so serve…….. storm piled upon the heels of bitter storm till landmarks were all but blotted out, and the little, lonely backwoods cabins were smothered to the eaves……. The little trees were submerged under the snow, forgotten. The taller spruce and fir towered in snowy domes and pinnacles, except where a rough wind had shaken their branches free of the intolerable burden, and left them standing sharply, dark against the wide white desolation. For the wild creatures of the forest, it was a prolonged tragedy, except for those which were so fortunate as to be hibernating, sleeping away the bitter time in their deep holes beneath the snow where the fiercest cold could not touch them. Among the chief sufferers were the moose. These heavy animals, accustomed to select a sheltered spot in the woodsfor their winter home, and tramps out a maze of narrow pathways all about it leading to the thickets of young birch, poplar and stripped maple. Whose twigs furnished them their food, early found it difficult to keep their open path. As the winter progressed, they browsed away all the edible twigs and even the coarse branches of the thickets in the immediate neighborhood. These consumed, they could only reach further supplies, and these all too scanty, by long and painful floundering through the smothering depths of the snow. Some of these imprisoned moose families succeeded in getting enough forage to keep them alive, if barely. Others, less fortunately situated, slowly starved to enough forage to keep them alive, if barely. Answers the following questions:- i) What kind of winter was it? ii) what happened to the little trees? iii) Why was the winter not a tragedy for the creatures who hibernating? iv) How did the moose survive in winter?
