Moomins and the Comet Chase Page #4

that I found her bracelet.

You are pathetic!

Is everyone ready?

We're heading home

quick as we can.

Hey! Don't pull so hard!

May I remind you that I have seen--

- Hurry up!

The comet's coming!

Awwwph!

Mmm. The clouds look like

raspberry and whipped cream.

Are you the same person who

said they don't care about dessert?

Listen, there will be no raspberries for

anyone if we don't watch where we're going.

You'd think that going down the mountain

would be easier than climbing it.

But, in fact,

the opposite is true.

Wa! Ha! Ohh!

Oh!!! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, I can't get up!

Help! Help!

Calm down!

Awrgh!

Slow down, Moomin!

You can't outrun yourself.

Oh! -Oh!

- Ahh!

Sorry!

- Ohohh!

Moomin, you're rushing along

like some crazy comet!

If we're not careful,

the next time we might fall off a cliff!

You're right!

Why don't we camp

here for the night?

The friends had

a hard day behind them

and a long way home

ahead of them.

Countless deep gorges

and unknown dangers

still lay between

them and the Moominvalley.

the next day,

the comet was even bigger

and the weird reddish color in the sky

even stranger.

In the eerie light,

the Lonely Mountains seemed

lonlier than ever.

If Mamma could see us now,

she would be so proud.

Aww! I don't ever want to see

another rock in all my life.

You said it!

Ha-ahh!

The mountains are too high,

the valleys too deep

and I'm always left

hanging in the middle.

Careful, now!

By the feather in my hat!

Look how far we still are from

the Moominvalley!

We have to pick up the pace!

We're in a hurry!

Oh, no!

This is too much!

Isn't it someone else's turn

to carry the tent?

I think it's time

to lighten our packs.

It is a good tent, but we should never

grow too fond of our belongings.

Toss it away, Sniff.

I promise you'll feel

lighter at heart at once.

Toss it away, Sniff!

Throw it over the cliff?

But it's a cozy place to sleep,

You could give it to me and then

I'll have my own tent.

But you have your cave.

That's much better than

an old tent!

That's right!

Goodbye yellow tent!

Ugh!

- Ha ha ha ha! -Ha ha ha!

- Ha ha ha ha ha!

Now, the only thing left

is the frying pan.

But since we have nothing left

to fy in it anyway...

Goodbye, fry pan!

Don't you feel

a whole lot better now, Sniff?

Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha!

No, I feel terrible.

I'm dizzy. I feel sick!

I have to lie down.

Oh, not again!

We don't have time

for dizzy spells.

Siff, come on!

We have to keep going!

Naw, let him lie there

and be sick for a bit.

Alright.

But get better quick!

Auuugh! Aahhh!

Have you ever rolled rocks

in the mountains?

No.

But it sounds like fun!

Here! I'll show you how.

One... two... and...

go!

Ha-ha!

Rock rolling was a great skill.

Hurrah!

The rocks bounce down the slope,

- Yippee!

smashing into other rocks

that started to roll too.

Then it all echoed

off the mountain walls like thunder.

This rock is perfect!

There, there, little one,

you'll be fine soon.

Now, now.

Careful, Moomintroll.

You're too close to the edge!

Moomintroll, come back!

-Whoaaah!

- No!

Hoaaaaahh!

No! No!

Come back!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ohhhh!

Sniff!

Help!

Grab the rope!

Snufkin!

Help!

Augh!

Sniff!

Grab the rope!

L-leave me alone!

I'm busy getting better.

Help!

Pull me up!

Mmmugh!

Augh!

- Sniff!

- I said leave me at-- Huh-ohh!

Hey! I'm better!

- Grab the rope, Sniff!

Now what's all the fuss?

Aaagh!

Sniff!

If you don' hold on

to the rope and pull,

you'll be feeling worse

than ever --Ahh!

- Help! Help!

- Moomintroll fell over the edge

and he'll drag us both down into the gorge.

- Help! Help! Help!

Ahh! Ahh!

Sniff! The rope!

Rope? What rope?

Oh, this rope!

Of course!

Oh!

Wretched wretch!

What can I do with it?

- Pull!

- Oh, here, yes!

- Pull!

- So one small, and...

- Pull the rope!

That's it!

Done!

Ugh-ahh!

Rrh agh!

Uugh!

Auugh!

Aww! Ughh! Aw!

Ughh!

Ohh, boy!

Hhh!

- Whoah!!

Oy, Ugh! Heh!

Aooooh!

Oh... boy!

Uh! Ugh! Uhhh!

Wha-oooah!

Mamma would have loved

to have seen that!

I don't think so.

Hurray for me!

I rescued Moomintroll!

I am a hero!

Small, yes!

But a hero none-the-less!

Thank you, Sniff.

Thank you both!

We've been very careless!

You certainly have!

We weren't thinking!

What if we rolled all those rocks

straight down on Snork Maiden?

Then, she's as flat

as a pancake,

and her flowers too!

Don't say that!

We have to hurry!

Look up there!

Look how much bigger the comet is!

Awwh!

When it hits, we'll all be flattened.

You're not kidding!

The whole Earth will be flattened.

We've got to keep going.

Come on!

Moomintroll, Sniff and Snufkin

set off once again.

The excitement of rock rolling had

made them forget the danger for a minute

But now they wished the way home

wasn't quite so long.

If you're going to be

struck by a comet,

it is nicer to be at home

when it comes.

The trio trudged on.

All they could think about

was getting home to the Moominhouse

and sitting on the veranda,

telling Moominmamma and Moominpappa

about their adventures.

But they couldn't help but notice

that the comet was glowing

brighter and redder

in the dull, red sky.

The Hemulen, however,

had too many troubles of his own,

to be bothered with comets

or anything else, for that matter.

He was soaking his sore feet

in the water

and had put a cold compress on

the aching bump on his foot.

Ohh! What a life!

Ahhhhhh!

Ah-ohhh!

Ohhh... help!

Ohhhhh!

Help!

It's starting again!

Oh!

- Hello.

- Oh, hello again.

How are you doin'?

- Oh, it's you!

I thought you were

a landslide.

This morning was terrible!

Rocks as big as houses

flying everywhere!

Ah, I'm afraid, we happened

to throw a few rocks

down the slope

as we were passing by.

Such a temptation when the rocks

are so big and round!

Do you mean to tell me

that you caused the rock slide?

I might have guessed!

You're either popping out of the ground

or bringing the mountain down around you!

It would be safer for everyone

if you just stayed at home!

Terribly sorry you got such a bump.

Oh, save your apologies!

Are you still here?

Haven't you done enough damage?

He didn't notice that

the sky is all red.

No!

The sky could have polka-dots

for all I care, goodbye!

And don't let me see you again!

We better go,

I think he wants to be alone. -Hmm?

Why is the water so low?

I don't understand.

Um, that's odd.

I wonder if it has something

to do with the comet.

C'mon!

Now they entered the

great, green darkness of the forest.

Oh!

What's wrong with this?

I'm trying to find

the shortest way to Moominvalley,

but the compass has gone haywire.

It's broke.

Oh!

- Look!

- Well, by the feather in my hat!

Maybe the compass

is afraid of the comet too.

We'll have to go on instinct.

I never put much faith in compasses,

they ruin your natural sense of direction.

Did you know that you can find your way

by looking at moss?

It always grows on
