Moose in the Road

"What kind of a story would you like me to tell you for a bed time story?" asked Grandma,

"One about a moose!" "Well let me see, yes I can tell you a story about a moose." I snuggled down in the bed while Grandma sat down next to me.

It was a cold snowy night when Bo was driving home from work very late. "Boy will I be glad to get home and out of this cold night." thought Bo.

SHRIEEKKKKKKKKK!!!! He put the brakes on very hard and came to a stop. "What have we here, there is something very large in the road." Bo rolled down his window to see better. "What?? Get out of the road", he yelled. "A moose doesn't belong in the middle of the road."

"Excuse me, I have as much right to be here as you do. Go around me." said the Moose.

Bo was getting mad at this moose and honked the horn hoping to scare him, this did no good. "Well maybe I can reason with it" thought Bo, so he got out of the car and walked up to him and said, "I'm very tired and cold and I want to go home. If you could move over to the right a little I could go around you."

"Well," said the Moose, "My name is Blue, and I could move over, but why should I? I'm also cold tired and wish I had a home to go to." Blue then sat down in the middle of the road and said He was never going to move. "You better think about how you are going to get around me."

Bo got back into his car and started going back and forth several times, if he was careful he just might get by this stubborn old moose. Well he made it and started down the road to his house when he looked in the mirror and saw Blue following him. Bo stopped the car, got out and walked back to Blue and asked what he was doing.

"WELL," said Blue, "if you have a nice warm house to go to maybe you will let me stay with you."

"What? No, you can't stay in my house, but I have a nice warm barn you can stay in, there is also a lot of hay you can eat, how does that sound?" said Bo.

"Just fine," said Blue, "thank you very much!" Bo got back into his car and with Blue following him he drove on home. They were both happy to have a nice warm place to go to.

And I fell asleep to dream about more adventures with Bo and the Moose in the Road!
