To build a fire
A man that is new to the north land goes out into the cold – the extreme cold – on his own to explore places for logging in the summer. Even he was told never to go into the extreme cold on his own, he walked along the frozen river alone and then it happened …..

In a far country
Many men went to the north, following the call of the gold. Not all the men did exactly know what to expect. Percy Cuthfert and Carter Weatherbee such two men’s but they joined a group to go to the gold fields at the Yukon. In the middle of nowhere the group cam across an abandoned longhouse and because the two men thought it is to hard to travel in the winter, they decided to stay in the house in and await spring while the rest of the group went on. Cuthfert and Weatherbee weren’t meant to see the spring.
