The story that is man vs. nature is to build a fire. In this story a man is trapped outside in -50 degree weather. He was so cold he could barely move so it was like his body was frozen. Can you imagine being outside when it is that cold? It would be scary and insanely cold. The man tried building fires to get warm, and he also would cut up animals and get inside of them for warmth. In the story the man was told by an older man not to go outside because it was so cold and you would not make it back alive. He did not listen and still went. Since it was so cold the man ended up dying. If its that cold outside there really isn't anything you can do. This stroy teaches you that you should almost always listen to your elders unless it does not make sense, or unless you know they are wrong.
