Here Is A Riddle To Find The Arctic Fool

 

When venturing into the vast wilderness of Alaska's Far North, one must be well educated in order to survive. Only the fool would head off into this land without a deep understanding of nature's ways. So for this April Fools Day I thought it prudent to present this little puzzle to find out who is the "April fool" when it comes to arctic savvy.

 

Carefully consider the two images above; there is Choice A and Choice B and one is the Arctic Fool and the other is the Arctic Wiseman; you must determine who is who from the following information provided in conjunction with these images.


 

The following is a real life scenario from living in the arctic. The two men pictured above embark upon a grand and exciting adventure across the vast blinding frozen wilderness of the arctic.  After about 50 miles out across the mountains, the sled he is riding breaks and quits running across the snow. There they are, stuck in the middle of a remote barren wilderness with no way to proceed. One man is able to repair his sled with some wood branches cut from some local black spruce trees but it will take him a few days to get this accomplished. The other man takes out his knife and discovers after chipping away some ice, the belt beneath his runners has snapped in the extreme cold.

 

Now, after two days who will be alive, A or B?  Can you figure it out?

 

If you need more information, after two days only one man has fresh meat to keep him alive and the other must try and walk back home only to find that after a 100 feet, the depth of the snow stops his legs from moving and after about 18 hours in the subzero temperatures so does his heart. 

 

Among those well educated by Arctic Mother Nature, this could be a laughable yet lamentable truth about life here in the far north. Just last week, I was out skate skiing on the surface of the frozen Chena River here at 64.50 degrees north and noticed a couple of large openings on the outer edges of the river; one 5 foot by 3 foot openings was found at the end of a set of foot prints through the snow and the other was found at the end of a snow machine track.

 

I thank God I'm home again; I love it here in the land of the midnight sun and the shinning aurora borealis. I feel so sorry for the poor souls who claim that they "live" here when in reality they live in their houses, cars, work places or shopping centers but rarely if ever make an attempt to get outside and enjoy all the beauty of this land has to offer at every season and temperature of the year. As it was when I left for a visit to Korea some years ago, the town at the edge of the Last Frontier may have some people who are struggling to keep their minds and souls in one piece by making every effort to avoid the blessing this land longs to lavish upon all who love its life and light.

I will be glad, and rejoice in Thy mercy: for Thou hast considered my trouble; Thou hast known my soul in adversities.--PS. xxxi. 7.

 

 

 

Nay, all by Thee is ordered, chosen, planned;
Each drop that fills my daily cup Thy hand
Prescribes, for ills none else can understand:
All, all is known to Thee.

A. L. NEWTON.

 

 

 

God knows us through and through. Not the most secret thought, which we most hide from ourselves, is hidden from Him. As then we come to know ourselves through and through, we come to see ourselves more as God sees us, and then we catch some little glimpse of His designs with us, how each ordering of His Providence, each check to our desires, each failure of our
hopes, is just fitted for us, and for something in our own spiritual state, which others know not of, and which, till then, we knew not. Until we come to this knowledge, we must take all in faith, believing, though we know not, the goodness of God towards us. As we know ourselves, we, thus far, know God.

E. B. PUSEY.

A Word From Robert Service

 

We sleep in the sleep of ages, the bleak, barbarian pines;
The gray moss drapes us like sages, and closer we lock our lines,
And deeper we clutch through the gelid gloom
where never a sunbeam shines.
