Answer the question in about 130 words

How did the boy in the story get lost in a snowstorm and did Maheegun come to his rescue?

When the boy was coming back home after spending the Easter holidays in his cousin’s home, he completely got lost in the wild in a snowstorm and didn’t know where he was. On the following days of being trapped, the boy was in a very dangerous situation. It was terribly cold, and he could hardly find any more wood to build a fire, What’s more, he cut his hand by accident while slashing off green branches, and a wolf followed the blood spots on the snow and found where he was. Soon another wolf came, and the two of them were only 50 feet away. Just them Maheggun appeared as if from nowhere. He drove off the other two. Though out the night, Maheggun stayed with the boy, watching for any attackers. The next day the search team arrived and took the boy home.

Ⅴ Translation

1. Behind each beautiful fur there is an ugly story. It is a brutal, bloody, and

barbaric story . The animal is not killed –it is tortured. I don’t think a fur coat is worth it.

2. We declare henceforth that all animals shall enjoy these inalienable

rights: The right to freedom from fear, pain and suffering – whether in the name of science or sport, fashion or food, exhibition or service. The right, if they are wild, to roam free, unharried by hunters, trappers or slaughterers. If they are domestic, not to be abandoned in the city streets, by a country road, or in a cruel and inhumane pound. And finally the right, at the end, to a decent death—not by a club, by a trap, by harpoon, cruel poison or mass extermination chamber. We have only one creed—to speak for those who can’t.
