Story of the Week

April 26, 1999

Our story this week is a special event, because we are launching three learners stories on the Internet, and you can read their stories as well as hear them. This launch takes place during the 1999 Learners Conference, organised by Yukon Learn on April 23 and 24, 1999.

These stories were written by Clifford McLeod. Clifford is 39 years old and a student at Yukon Learn in Whitehorse. He has been coming to Yukon Learn for four years. Clifford likes fishing and hunting moose. His favourite actor is Bruce Lee and he enjoys telling jokes.

Moose Meal

by Clifford McLeod

shot a moose
skinned it to
chopped it with an axe
pack it on my truck
deep freeze it
fry it ; boil it ; bake it up
eat it
goes down fast!
