FACIAL WEAPON
A son and daughter were fishing with their mother in the Alaskan wilderness when a baby moose approached them. The children met the baby moose in a small meadow. Moments later the mother moose charged onto the scene, nostrils flaring and head lowered. The children were now in danger. The mother of the children noticed what had transpired and came to the rescue. She ran between her children and the mother moose, screaming and waving her arms. As she charged right up to the mother moose, the mother moose decided to make a hasty retreat. The children excitedly told their father all about their encounter: “You should have seen it Dad, Mom scared off that moose with nothing but her face!” Adapted from a submission by Joyce Howard to Readers Digest, October, 1984, pg. 198
