"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." "Snufkin Doesn't Come Back" "Spring has come upon Moominvalley." "Its inhabitants have awakened from their long winter - sleep and are now enjoying this beautiful season." "However, Moomin is now down with a terrible cold." "That is quite a troubling cough." "My throat hurts." "Alright, drink this." "It's supposed to be very good for colds." "It's awfully sour." "Hm?" "That has lots of lemon, dear." "I want to go out and play..." "You must stay in bed." "You'll have a more difficult time if it worsens into pneumonia." "Mamma..." "Why do you think Snufkin hasn't come back yet?" "I don't know..." "But spring has only just come, has it not?" "Snufkin has always come back from his - journeys to the south as soon as spring came." "This year, however, there has yet to be any sight of him in Moominvalley." "Snufkin..." "Pappa, has Moomin's cold gotten better?" "Not at all, his cough is still terrible." "Would it be fine if I saw him?" "You'll catch his cold, so I suggest you refrain from seeing him for now." "Sniff, Moomin's cough is still truly terrible." "It would be best not to go near him, for - now." "I've told everyone so as well." "Oh, I feel bad for Moomin." "Waking up in mid-winter must have have been bad for him." "That is possible." "No, that probably has nothing to do with his cold." "I heard My woke up the same time Moomin did." "And look at her." "Visiting, visiting~" "My is just special, Pappa." "Ah!" "How boring!" "Moomin's sick." "And Snufkin isn't back." "I wonder what's keeping him." "I bet Moomin would get all better the moment Snufkin comes back." "He always came back as soon as spring came..." "Perhaps he doesn't want to come back anymore." "What?" "I'm sure that's not true at all." "Snufkin really likes Moomin a lot, you know?" "And I do too, of course." "Then could Snufkin be somewhere out there sick as well?" "Why don't we search for him?" "Search for who?" "Snufkin." "If only Snufkin would come back, Moomin would certainly get well." "But where would we search?" "The south!" "The south is a huge place..." "Anyhow, I will go south to find him." "Are you serious?" "Of course!" "Oh, then why don't we ask Snork for some advice?" "Are you out of your mind?" "Are you telling me I can't go and search for Snufkin, brother?" "Snufkin is no doctor." "Moominmamma told us." "She said that Moomin would keep on asking - whether Snufkin has come back yet." "He really misses him." "Well." "Those two are certainly the best of friends." "However, you don't understand the kind of person Snufkin is in the slightest." "I'm good friends with Snufkin too!" "Snufkin is a person who loves solitude the most." "Since he hasn't come back yet even now, it is likely - that Snufkin won't be coming back at all this year." "Even if we tell him that Moomin is sick?" "If he wants to come back, he'll come back." "Well, anyhow, I'm going to search for Snufkin." "I won't allow it!" "Sniff, My, what do you two intend to do?" "Well, I..." "Floren said that she wanted to search for Snufkin, so I thought I wouldn't mind coming along." "But if she isn't going..." "Snufkin will come back sooner or later." "There's no need to go and look for him." "Floren, it's just as My says." "How is Moomin?" "He's asleep." "Though he wasn't coughing." "And his fever?" "Still quite high." "Snufkin!" "Thank you, Moomin." "I came for you, Snufkin." "This cloud is from the Hobgoblin's hat, is it not?" "Yes!" "Of course you would remember!" "You came a long way." "We found the secret for making the clouds last much longer." "Hey!" "Oh!" "You fellows came too!" "Moomin!" "Snufkin!" "A dream..." "Snufkin?" "!" "I heard you were sick." "Yes." "It's contagious." "I'm nothing like Floren or Sniff." "There's no way I'd catch a cold from you." "Mamma won't let me see anyone." "You fell from the bed, didn't you?" "So you saw that..." "Just in time." "You were dreaming, right?" "So you know?" "Sure I do." "A dream about food, no doubt." "You were trying to reach for some snacks - way up high, and fell from a footstool." "So?" "Did I get it?" "Not even close." "Hey, Stinky..." "Have you heard any news about Snufkin?" "Oh, Snufkin." "You know something, don't you?" "!" "I only know that he left for his journey to the south last autumn." "That, and..." "And what?" "I also know that Floren tried to look for Snufkin - for you, but was stopped by her brother Snork." "Floren did?" "!" "Floren, wait!" "Floren!" "Are you serious?" "I'll be fine, my fever's gone down." "You haven't been eating much, have you?" "I can endure a little hunger." "Stinky, show me the path Snufkin usually takes, will you?" "Are you seriously going to look for him?" "Of course!" "I feel like spring won't truly have - come to Moominvalley until Snufkin appears." "In short, you miss him." "I do." "I want to see him as soon as I can." "Well, it's not on me if Mamma and Pappa finds you out, got it?" "I'm not going to let them find me." "Sorry, Stinky." "Are you alright?" "Sure am." "Moomin, it's time for a meal." "Pappa!" "Pappa!" "We have a problem!" "Moomin isn't in his room." "What?" "!" "Where did he go?" "I don't know." "But he is nowhere in his room." "This is bad." "Well then, I will search for him within the vicinity." "Hey!" "Moomin!" "Moomin!" "Pappa!" "Oh, My." "What happened with Moomin?" "He's disappeared." "In that case, he's likely have gone off to search for Snufkin." "Snufkin?" "You do know that Moomin's been waiting for Snufkin's return, don't you?" "But he's sick!" "Are you sure this is the right path?" "This path leads south, no mistake about that." "What do we do if we miss each other?" "Well, if you're worried about that, what about just staying home instead?" "But that's..." "Moomin!" "Oh, Floren!" "Where do you plan on taking him?" "He's sick, you know!" "This wasn't my idea!" "Moomin really wanted to go and kept pestering me." "Is this true, Moomin?" "I really want to see Snufkin." "So I..." "I thought that's how you must be feeling, - so I set out to search for Snufkin even though I had to go alone." "But I heard Snork didn't allow you to go." "I set out without my brother knowing." "That's not good, Floren." "And?" "How about you?" "Did Mamma and Pappa give you permission to go out like this?" "Well, that's..." "Stinky, admit it." "You goaded him into this, didn't you?" "No way!" "He didn't, Floren!" "Moomin wouldn't think of going out with this - cough if you hadn't goaded him into it!" "No, I'm not lying!" "I'm really just accompanying him, I swear!" "It's true, Floren!" "I was the one who said I wanted to look for Snufkin." "Well, then." "Moomin, let's go home." "But Floren..." "No buts!" "You're still sick." "I'm sure Pappa and Mamma are awfully worried..." "Look!" "Moomin!" "Isn't that Snork behind Pappa?" "It's my brother...!" "I have a bad feeling about this..." "Thank goodness." "I was worried you'd already gone much further." "I'm sorry, Pappa." "Stinky, it's you again, isn't it?" "Taking Moomin out when he's sick!" "N-no!" "I didn't!" "I only came along 'cause I was worried about Moomin!" "He's telling the truth, Pappa!" "This was my idea..." "Are you alright, Moomin?" "Floren!" "Oh, joy." "Here comes another." "Thank goodness, Floren." "I thought you'd really gone to journey south." "I most certainly intended to go." "I knew it..." "I see." "So you were the one giving Floren strange ideas, weren't you?" "Just as I thought." "If you just rest and sleep, your cold shall get better in no time." "You'd like to get better by the time Snufkin gets back, don't you?" "If only Snufkin came back, this whole - troublesome incident wouldn't have occurred." "Hear, hear." "However, those words are certainly most unfair to Snufkin." "For at that time, Snufkin was doing his utmost, walking on his way back to Moominvalley." "Snufkin was very tired." "I know a lot about you." "Oh?" "You're Snufkin, am I right?" "Hey!" "The water's still cold, is it not?" "Come." "Hurry and warm yourself by the fire or you'll catch a cold." "Thank you." "You don't know how glad I am to have the chance to meet you." "It brings me even more joy to be able to warm myself by your fire." "Why do you know my name?" "That's because I've always been fascinated with you." "I've watched you walk this path every year." "I've also heard rumors about you from many different creatures." "Well, this is a surprise." "I've never thought I'd be so admired by anyone at all." "What is your name?" "No one has ever named me." "Perhaps it's because I'm too tiny and my presence is too meager." "No one has ever asked for my name before." "And now, you, whom I admire so much, has asked me for my name!" "Your whole story strikes me as quite exaggerated, though." "Um..." "This might be asking for a lot, but..." "Would you be kind enough to think up a name for me?" "A name that would be mine alone, a name that no - one else would use..." "That is the name I want!" "Would you think of one for me tonight?" "It would be quite difficult to come up with the kind of name you want..." "But you're a person who knows everything, aren't you?" "Little one, if you worship someone too - much, you'll end up losing your freedom." "See!" "You see!" "You know even such magnificent truths!" "I've always wished to be just as free as you are!" "Oh..." "I believe I've talked too much." "I'm sure you're tired from traveling." "You're on your way to Moominvalley to see your friends, aren't you?" "I've heard from the porcupine that Moomin woke up in midwinter this year and has been eagerly awaiting your return since then." "It must feel awfully nice to know that someone - cherishes you and yearns so much to see you." "I just might choose not to return to Moominvalley if I don't feel like it." "Oh." "He'll be very sad about that." "I love being alone the most." "Oh!" "I'm very sorry!" "I'll leave you alone now..." "I'm quite dry now." "Thank you..." "Goodbye..." "Good night." "About your name..." "My name?" "How about..." "How does "Teety-woo" sound?" "Teety-woo." "With a light beginning and a little sadness at the end of it." "Teety-woo..." "Yes." "Teety-woo." "Teety-woo." "Teety-woo!" "Teety-woo." "Teety-woo!" "Hurrah!" "What a wonderful name!" "Teety-woo!" "Now, come back, Teety-woo." "Let's talk some more." "I'm going to build myself a new house!" "And then I'll put up a name plate with "Teety-woo" on it!" "Sounds good." "About what I said earlier though..." "Huh?" "Remember?" "About not going back to Moominvalley if I don't feel like it..." "That wasn't true, was it?" "You just said that out of irritation since " "I kept going on and on, didn't you?" "I see." "So you actually noticed." "I'm a little late in going back this year, so I've been feeling quite impatient." "I would like to see Moomin as soon as I can." "Moomin is very lucky." "Please send my regards to him." "Alright, I will." "Well then, what shall we talk about?" "I would also love to hear your many stories, but, you have a harmonica in there, don't you?" "Yes." "Indeed, I do." "Would it be alright to ask you to play some music for me instead?" "What would you like to hear?" "Anything." "Well, let's see..." "How about the tune you usually play for Moomin?" "That's Snufkin!" "Ow." "Snufkin!" "At long last, spring had truly come for Moomin." "Pappa said he saw a dream." "He dreamt that on a small island in some - faraway ocean, there stands a lighthouse." "And that if he goes there, he will certainly - be able to write a wonderful novel." "Come, everyone!" "All aboard, and let's all go there!" "Next on Fun Family Moomin:" "On Pappa's Dream." "Look forward to it!" "On Pappa's Dream" "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"
