The Trap

"It is not good to be alone in the wild when it is so cold, when even thoughts are sluggish and icy. . . ." Albert Least-Weasel has been hunting and trapping in the Alaskan wilderness for most of his eighty years. This time, however, an uncharacteristically careless mistake leaves him caught in his own trap. As temperatures plunge to forty degrees below zero, Albert's grandson Johnny waits at home, wondering whether to trust his grandfather's experience-or the feeling that something has gone terribly wrong.
