The moose made a fire and they sat around the fire and ate the berries. After they ate they went to sleep because they had to walk up the rest of the mountain the next day. The next day they woke up and started to walk up the rest of the mountain. As they were walking up the moose's antler's got stuck in tree branches. The wolf tried to get them unstuck but he couldn’t. Then a squirrel came out of the tree and helped the wolf got the moose unstuck. After the moose was unstuck they kept walking. It was getting dark and they were almost there but they were very tired. The wolf spotted a cave not far away. They were walking to the cave and the wolf falls into a hole. The moose uses his antlers to get the wolf out. The wolf made the fire and they sat around it.
