"Moomin" "Even you, who always tries to keep strong, - will have moments when you need to shed tears." "In those moments, just cry your heart out, - and then you will find that the sadness quickly disappears." "Come, come here to where I am." "Come and hold out your little hand to me." "I shall take you to the world of dreams." "As long as you have an honest heart, all is well." "Moominvalley's Winter Inhabitants" "In the winter, most of the inhabitants of Moominvalley stay fast asleep." "However, for some reason, Moomin and My both woke up this one winter." "Ah, so good!" "Mamma's strawberry jam is simply the best!" "I thought Mamma made too much, - but with how things turned out, it's really reassuring to have all this jam." "Look." "I told you they'd be fast asleep." "I suppose we're the only ones off course." "Why don't you try sledding when it's so much fun?" "I won't fit in that tray." "Then go look for something else to sled with." "Later, later." "We're supposed to go to Too-ticky, remember?" "Come, I'll pull you all the way there." "Don't tell me you're afraid to slide down from high places?" "Don't be silly." "She's not here." "I wonder where Too-ticky went." "Isn't that her?" "It would seem so." "She must be sliding around there." "Sliding?" "She won't be able to move that fast otherwise." "Oh, here she comes." "What were you doing far out there?" "I went to see the sun." "You can't see the southern horizon without going that far, right?" "Did you see the sun?" "Today the sun shined just a bit above the horizon." "Hey, what are those shoes you're wearing?" "These are skates." "They're very useful for sliding on ice." "Oh won't you show me how you slide with them again?" "Why, sure." "So graceful!" "That's it!" "I shall make myself some skates." "That might prove difficult." "I'm sure I'll find a way." "As long as I can attach some blades underneath my shoes, " "I should be able to slide on ice." "I've been wondering about this since we went in here..." "There's somebody else here, isn't there?" "You can tell?" "Somebody's here?" "Where?" "Looking for them won't help." "You can't see them." "How can they be here when I can't see them?" "I don't buy that." "Let me show you." "The invisible shrews." "Someone's on top of my head!" "Do you understand now?" "Those were the invisible shrews." "You may come down now." "But there were no such shrews when we were here last summer." "I'm sure of it." "Yes, you're right." "There are creatures in this world who come out only in the winter." "They are all very timid and strange creatures." "When the surroundings become deserted and everything is covered in snow, - when the nights are longer - and most creatures are asleep, they then come out." "I hardly knew anything about winter, I suppose." "That's just how it is." "You have a long-held - practice of hibernating in the winter, after all." "Mamma and Pappa will certainly be surprised - once I tell them about this come springtime." "Say, Moomin." "Yes?" "We're going to wake up tomorrow too, right?" "Why would you ask that?" "I don't want to sleep until spring like Pappa and Mamma." "We woke up this morning, didn't we?" "But we don't know that we will tomorrow." "True." "Perhaps the winter fairy especially woke us up only for these two days." "Hey." "If I don't wake tomorrow morning, wake me up, alright?" "Alright." "Let's go to sleep, shall we?" "What if it's the other way around?" "What if I wake up and you don't?" "Oh, well, let's see..." "I don't mind sleeping all the way 'til spring." "I'm going to wake up even if I'm on my own." "My." "Where are you, My?" "Hello." "I must say, this slope is just perfect for skiing." "What're those attached to your feet?" "Is that supposed to be a joke?" "Huh?" "I see, you really don't know." "Why would I ask if I already knew?" "These are skis." "You watched me slide down earlier, didn't you?" "I certainly did." "Can you slide just as fast on ice with those?" "These are no match for skates on ice." "And what is that, if I may ask?" "It's a boat for sliding on snow." "That slides really well, but if I'm not mistaken, that is a tray, am I right?" "Yes, you got that right." "Shall I teach you how to ski?" "Oh, no need." "I can learn just fine by merely watching you." "Skiing is not that easy, you know." "I suppose not." "But there's really no need." "I can learn fine by myself." "So, Mr. Rocky, does that mean you live in the cold all year round?" "That's right." "I do so to train myself." "This jam is most delicious." "But can't you train your body in spring and summer as well?" "No, that won't work." "The cold is necessary to truly strengthen your body." "You can tell you've trained enough once you stop feeling the cold." "Have you stopped feeling the cold, Mr. Rocky?" "I'm sad to say that I have yet to reach that level." "However, I still soak in water once everyday." "It feels very good." "You bathe even when it's this cold?" "The sea isn't far from it, is it?" "Yes, but you cannot bathe in it." "It's frozen." "How about a river?" "Yes, very near." "Didn't you see it on your way here?" "Oh, that river, yes." "This jam is really delicious though." "Are perhaps you all out?" "Not at all, there's quite a lot left in the cellar." "Shall I get more?" "No." "I won't have any more right now." "I shall help myself to more later though." "Until then, I shall go and take my bath to help my stomach digest well." "I'm getting cold just by watching." "Mr. Rocky!" "Are you certain you're not cold?" "The water feels great!" "You should join me!" "I think I'll decline." "Excuse me, but what are you doing?" "Hello." "We are currently watching Mr. Rocky swim." "He's really swimming." "I see quite eccentric people inhabit Moominvalley." "Mr. Rocky isn't from here, though." "How about you?" "I came here to visit my brothers." "I am called Sorry-oo." "Oh, may I ask who your brothers are?" "They're most likely hibernating though." "No." "My brothers do not sleep through the winter." "But the only ones who are awake in Mooominvalley - right now are me, Little My over here, " "Too-ticky, and the invisible shrews." "Oh, and also Mr. Rocky who only recently arrived here." "I believe my brothers reside in the Lonely Mountains." "The Lonely Mountains?" "That's strange." "There are wolves there but I don't think there are any dogs." "My brothers are those wolves." "Having jam after exercising makes it all the more delicious!" "We still have a lot of jam left so please have as much as you'd like." "That news brings joy to my soul." "Sorry-oo, are you going to eat that?" "Oh?" "Um, please help yourself." "Well, thank you." "Are you perhaps feeling worried about something?" "Yes, in fact, I am." "Oh, well, that won't do." "Worries are the worst poison to the body." "I am at a loss as to why you refer to the wolves as your brothers." "But it's been that way since the ancient times." "Dogs and wolves have always been brothers." "You certainly resemble each other physically, - but I think you're as different as different comes." "Whatever you say, I'm still going to worry myself over wolves." "This one's a coward, I'm sure of it." "That's why he's so bent on thinking that he's related to wolves." "Do you intend to go and live with wolves?" "Oh yes, if it's possible." "Sorry-oo, what do you think about traveling with me?" "I've always loved dogs." "But..." "I..." "Well, do think about it." "I plan to stay in Moominvalley for a while." "Excuse me, but do you plan on staying here?" "No, no, I don't intend on staying in this house." "Digging a hole in the snow should make for a comfortable home." "Is that how you've always camped out?" "Sure have." "However, Moomin, I would at least like to keep coming here - for this raspberry jam, if you don't mind." "Mr. Rocky, may I borrow your shovel for a bit?" "Certainly." "What for?" "I'd like to destroy this barrel." "Oh, why didn't you say so?" "Is this destroyed enough for you, My?" "It seems Mr. Rocky has taken quite a liking to this jam." "Well, the jam Mamma makes is very delicious." "Thank you, Moomin." "Too-ticky, do you know what skis are?" "I certainly do." "I've never tried skiing though." "Mr. Rocky is going to teach me how to ski." "Is that so?" "But I can't move my legs at all like this." "Once you get used to it, - you won't find a better way than this for moving around on snow." "Whoaaa, I'm moving." "Yes, yes." "That's the way to go." "First, you must practice how to fall." "I'd prefer to learn how not to fall though." "My has skis." "She made those out of some barrel planks." "Well, then." "These skis should be easier to use." "Alright." "Bend your elbows, and lean forward." "Um, this slope's quite difficult though." "Wouldn't it be better if I started out on some flat area?" "I suppose." "Let's go to a lower slope for your next try." "Off you go!" "How pathetic." "Um, Mr. Rocky, this slope is steeper than the last one..." "It's alright." "The way you fall is very safe." "Off you go!" "Someone stop me!" "It's easy!" "Just fall over!" "Dynamic!" "Unique!" "Truly an art!" "Somebody..." "Somebody stop me!" "Amazing, Moomin!" "One more time!" "What are you doing, Sorry-oo?" "My brothers are crying out." "The wolves aren't your brothers." "They must be calling me." "I'm going to try meeting my brothers, after all!" "Caught anything?" "A bit." "Bad news." "We're almost out of jam." "What of Mr. Rocky?" "He still keeps on eating." "I wonder if he'll be staying for good." "I wonder too." "It might be nice if he would just catch a cold and lose his appetite." "This violent snowstorm signals the end of winter and the beginning of spring." "Hello, Moomin." "Oh, Mr. Rocky." "I'm sorry, but we don't have any more jam." "Look, the jar's empty." "That was really delicious jam." "I am pained by that news, but the truth is I - have to tell you something which pains me more." "Are you leaving?" "Spring has come upon Moominvalley." "So, Farewell." "Farewell, Mr. Rocky." "I hope to see you again next year." "I... um..." "I'm your brother, Sorry-oo." "I've always dreamed of being able to live with you." "I've always, always dreamed of it." "I'm quite a coward, but I would be ever so glad if you would let me join your com..." "pany..." "I understand." "It can't be helped then, I will have to give up." "Please feel free to eat me." "Well, hello there, Sorry-oo." "Were you perhaps waiting for me here?" "Come, then." "Let us go on a fun trip together." "And slide!" "Slide, and slide!" "Slide..." "Slide!" "Ta Tarata Slide!" "Ta Tarata Slide!" "Slide" "And, slide!" "Slide!" "Ah." "My!" "Spring's cannons have been sounded, at last." "The ocean waves must be pushing from far beyond." "Can My make it back?" "Look out!" "My!" "Hold on to me, My!" "Why, thank you, Moomin." "Blast off!" "Now, now, we're still quite fine, Moomin." "No need to hurry." "Over there, Moomin." "Leap for it!" "Do you see it now?" "As long as you listen to me, - there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of, Moomin." "Oh, yes, I see very well." "I'm never going to rescue you ever again." "You can do it, Moomin!" "Just a bit more!" "Hurry!" "I'm back!" "So cold!" "You did really well, Moomin." "Come, let's warm you up by the stove." "Once again, spring has come upon Moominvalley." "I have yet to hear the sound of a harmonica from my room." "Spring is here, and yet Snufkin has not come back." "Snufkin..." "Will you never come back to Moominvalley?" "Next time on Fun Family Moomin:" "Snufkin Doesn't Come Back" "Look Forward to it!" "My dream, my love, when you're by my side even the color of the wind changes" "The water shines as it plays with light" "Melt time into that sky"
