Walking as"quiet as mice and rabbits and deer" they come upon fresh moose droppings andset out to find the moose itself. They discover the branches where the mooseate breakfast, greet a chipmunk and goose, and inspect rosehips and pussywillows, but the moose is nowhere to be found. Finally, after accepting thatthey will have to try again next time, the boy and his grandfather head home...only to be met with a big surprise.
