The moose grew and grew. He outgrew the leash so she had to fashion a type of noose for his daily walks. She kept her hourglass figure in shape that way. She enjoyed discussing the care and feeding of her moose with random strangers in the park who must have been wondering as they fled away. Onions, she shouted after them, and good leather shoes for his hooves!
There was paradise ahead. For soon he would be carved into scrumptious fragments and roasted on her fireplace spit just in time for the holidays.
That final paragraph was unexpected. And of course onions - to add more flavour to his flesh.

If the moose knew what his future had in store for him, he wouldn't have thought it paradise! He would have willingly passed up the onions and leather shoes and high-tailed it for the hills! :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure!

I was wondering why someone would be raising a moose like it was a family pet, then the twist at the end had my mouth drop open. LOVE it :)

Oh, such a sad ending!
ReplyDeletePoor Moosey. But out here I see them being hunted as they pose a huge danger on the highways. Many deaths and crippling of citizens each year. They are not native to the island so the original 2 in 1902 are now 100,000.
DeleteBut yes, of course, humans are to blame for this.
