Snufkin is a philosophical vagabond who wanders the world fishing and playing the harmonica. He carries everything he needs in his backpack, as he believes that having too much stuff makes life overly complicated. My Favorite character in Moomin Valley

Kuinkas sitten kävikään - Moomin, Mymble and Little My

Cards from  Tove Jansson's book - Moomin, Mymble and Little My

 

On kello viis' kun varhaiseen

kaupasta maitokannuineen

käy kotiin Muumipeikko pien'

On pitkä taival metsätien.

Puut kolkon korven kohisee

ja tuuli ähkyy, huokailee.

Yö vaihtuu aamuun hämärään,

vaan kuinkas sitten kävikään?

 

Here’s little Moomintroll, none other,

Hurrying home with milk for mother.

Quick, Moomintroll, it’s nearly night.

Run home while there’s a bit of light.

Don’t hang around in woods like these.

 Strange creatures lurk between the trees.

 The wind begins to howl and hiss.

Now, guess what happens after this…

 

Translation by Sophie Hannah

 

In a delightful, curious game of what comes next, Moomintroll travels through the woods to get home with milk for Moominmamma. A simple trip turns into a colorful adventure as Moomintroll meets Mymble who has lost her sister Little My. Along the way, they endue the hijinks of all the charming characters of the Moomin world including the Fillijonks and Hattifatteners. Will Moomin ever make it home safe and sound?

 

Yes he did and there was Moominmamma picking up berries and waiting for the children to come home. Unfortunately during Moomintroll's and Mymble's exciting adventure through the woods the milk had turned into buttermilk. But Moominmamma comforts them saying: From now on we'll drink juice.
