From the lake flowed small
stream. which was covered or crossed
By rude bridge made OF poles. Tho
water ran over huge moss. covered
rocks that imagined had como down
from the mountains with great
glacier many, many years before.
But tho object which attracted and
held the eye was n small house or hut
nestled n, the foot Of tho mountains
by the side OF tho stream. The house
was made OF roughly hcwn logs and
had only one window, but out OF that
