"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." "Moominpappa Runs Away" "Today, once again, we have a peaceful Moominvalley." "However, there are also people who don't feel contentment in peace." "Come in." "Pappa, how about a short break?" "I was thinking of taking one myself." "How's work?" "Not well, I take it." "It's too peaceful." "With this much peace, there's just nothing to write about." "Oh dear." "I don't feel the need to write anything." "A need?" "Yes." "Because it's too peaceful?" "Indeed." "When I was younger, I've always yearned for - great adventures and I actually did go on one." "But right now, I am deeply submerged in a totally quiet and peaceful life." "So now you want to go on an adventure once again?" "Yes, that's it, Mamma." "Oh, won't anything exciting happen here soon?" "What was it you wanted to ask of us, Mamma?" "Pappa seems to find his current - surroundings too peaceful and uneventful, - and so, he hasn't made much progress with his writing." "I was wondering if you all would be so kind as to - look for anything that might be exciting for him?" "So any exciting event will do?" "Yes." "Please do look for an exciting event for him." "I guess this calls for my exciting event setup skills." "Looks good." "Now everyone will think this is a monster footprint." "It's really fun to make other people happy!" "But wow, it's amazing how much hard work I put into this." "Even I'm quite moved by my own efforts!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "It's an emergency!" "Everyone, wake up!" "Moomin, wake up!" "Moominpappa!" "It's an emergency!" "Moominmamma!" "It's a monster!" "A monster came here!" "Look!" "Everyone, wake up!" "Hurry up or we'll be eaten!" "I'm not kidding!" "Oh my, these are very large footprints." "Oh, it's starting!" "Trouble, oh, trouble!" "I see, I see." "So this one's a sea monster." "It's weird, though." "Did the monster need anything from the Moomins?" "What do you mean?" "The footprints lead straight to the Moominhouse, right?" "Somebody must have told the monster of my home's whereabouts." "I still think it's weird, though." "There are no footprints for when it went back to the sea." "Does that mean the monster evaporated here?" "Hm, hm." "There are creatures that take exactly - the same steps in going to and from places." "So I read in a book once." "This monster must have stepped on the same spots - on its way back to the sea." "Look closely." "You can't tell where the heel is or the toes are in these footprints, right?" "That's exactly because the monster took exactly - the same steps from and back to the sea." "Well, well, what a courteous monster we have then." "So, what could the monster have come here for?" "Surveillance." "Surveillance?" "What for?" "What else?" "It plans to attack our home and eat us up - from the most delicious-looking to the least." "Plump creatures taste better than thin ones, right?" "Right?" "Tonight, huh." "Tonight?" "What about tonight?" "That monster is probably cooking up plans - to attack our Moominhouse tonight." "How do you know that?" "Oh, I'm so excited!" "I'm sure of it." "The monster will come tonight!" "Mamma, Mamma!" "What's wrong, Moomin?" "Big news!" "A monster is going to attack us tonight!" "Pappa said he was excited!" "Is that so?" "That's good to hear, Pappa." "Hurry up, everyone!" "The monster is coming tonight." "Heave and ho!" "Alright." "Now hold still." "Pappa, this is one big cage." "Hardly." "This is still quite small." "What a bunch of fools." "So they plan to capture the monster alive, eh?" "Once we capture the monster, I shall head straight - to a zoo and get my fill of cash from it!" "Will the monster really head here, though?" "It will." "I'm certain." "There is no way I'm mistaken." "I'm the one working hardest here, so that monster's mine." "It's only natural that I get all the earnings from selling it off." "Do you think the monster can swim, Pappa?" "Of course it can." "It's a sea creature." "Since this water is from the well, it might be a - good idea to add some salt then, don't you think?" "Oh, that is indeed a great idea!" "That monster might just come to like it here and - get totally engrossed playing in the water!" "I wonder what time the monster will come." "I don't know." "But I believe it'll come tonight." "Will we be watching out for it the whole time before then?" "We don't have any choice." "It might come tomorrow instead of tonight, though." "Hmm." "I suppose that's possible too." "Or it might come the day after tomorrow." "Well, no matter." "My heart shall keep on fluttering in excitement until we catch it." "Wow, what an amazing thing they built for me." "I guess tricks carry their own worth too." "Huh?" "That's the monster bait, I take it." "It seems Moominpappa fell asleep from working too - hard earlier." "Guess I'll have myself a feast." "Strange, though." "I remember them taking digging out lots of earth - from here earlier." "What happened to that?" "Oh, I see!" "They dug out lots of earth so they can make a pitfall here!" "A pitfall...?" "Huh?" "What was that?" "It's here!" "The monster is here!" "Close the gate!" "No, no, no!" "There!" "We've captured a monster!" "Everyone, wake up!" "Stop it!" "I'm no monster!" "Outta my way!" "I'm going to let it have a taste of my bite!" "Where is it?" "Where's the monster?" "I'm not a monster!" "It's saying something..." "It's me, Stinky!" "I'm not a monster!" "Stinky?" "Its voice sounded like Stinky." "Be cautious, kids." "It must be the monster's offspring." "There's no monster!" "I made those footprints to trick you!" "What?" "Quit spouting nonsense!" "It wants us to let our guard down so it can call its father!" "No, that's not it!" "Moominpappa." "Snufkin." "I think that should be enough." "Why don't you let Stinky go now?" "What did you say?" "These monster footprints were Stinky's work." "How do you know that?" "I went fishing at the beach last night and saw him on my way home." "He was making these footprints." "You really should've come inside to eat." "Nah, I'm fine right here." "There's no need to be modest." "Everyone had a lot of fun, thanks to you." "That's great!" "My efforts were rewarded then." "Tricks demand hard work too, don't they?" "Yes, it's definitely hard work." "This is so good!" "Huh?" "What's wrong, Pappa?" "Oh." "It's nothing." "Mamma." "What is it?" "I want to secretly consult you about something." "No one else is around." "I've decided!" "I'm going to leave our home!" "Is that so?" "I shall go on a trip to seek out adventure!" "Are you going far away?" "It shall be a trip without destination, filled - with swirling uncertainty and suspense!" "Come, Mamma!" "Alright, Pappa." "Let's bring the kids as well." "I'm sure they'll be delighted." "No, no, we can't do that, Mamma." "If we do that, then we'll just be living - the same uneventful life we have here." "Then what do you wish to do?" "I'm going back to my days as an adventurer when I was younger." "You shall be the adventurer's wife..." "no, the adventurer's lover!" "And the two of us shall go on a journey without destination!" "I'm a little worried about leaving the children behind." "Exactly." "That anxiety of yours will make our adventure - even more thrilling than it already is!" "Why, my heart has already begun beating faster in excitement." "Let's go, Mamma." "Ah, just a moment, Pappa." "What is it?" "Did you forget something again?" "Yes, I did." "I forgot to write down where the sugar is." "The children will be able to find that on their own." "But if they don't find it, they won't be able to drink - tea, nor will they be able to make delicious pancakes." "Let's see, where shall I put this?" "Maybe adventures are really meant to be taken alone." "I wonder why I even invited Mamma." "Oh, but going on an adventure all alone is too lonely for me." "I need to have someone beside me to share my joy with." "Is something the matter, Pappa?" "Oh!" "Are you ready to leave now?" "Well then, let's be on our way before the sun rises." "Alright." "Come, let's keep on walking." "Keep on walking towards where?" "To the sea?" "To the mountains?" "I don't know." "But let's keep on walking anyhow." "Good morning, Mamma!" "Is she still asleep?" "What's up, Moomin?" "I can't find Pappa and Mamma." "Why?" "Well, of course, I don't know." "That's not good." "I was planning to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at your house today." "Me too..." "There's no need to worry." "I don't know about Moominpappa, but I'm sure Mamma will come home soon." "Where could they have gone?" "Hm." "We'll know when we do." "That aside, have you eaten yet?" "Not yet." "I have yet to eat anything today." "Cheer up, Moomin." "Here, you can have these fish." "Or if you'd like, we can go to your place and I can cook something for you." "Thank you, Snufkin." "But there's no need for concern over food." "Mamma has two people taking over for her the kitchen." "What are these?" "Anyway, in you go!" "Even without Mamma, we'll manage just fine by ourselves here." "Yes, yes." "I wonder where we are." "I haven't the slightest idea." "Wherever we look, there's only darkness." "The sun should've risen already, but it's - not getting any bit brighter in here." "Mamma." "It seems we have come to a dreadful place." "What do you mean?" "We kept walking last night, - and in the darkness we ended up wandering into an unknown cave." "Hey My, I smell something burning from your pan." "Don't sweat over the details, Sniff." "How about you try making something more edible yourself?" "You did much worse, though." "My throat - still hurts from what you fed me earlier." "Where's Moomin?" "I'll have him taste my cooking." "No, he'll be eating my cooking." "Hey, Moomin!" "Moomin!" "Where are you?" "Moomin!" "Mamma!" "Pappa!" "What's that sound?" "Pappa, Pappa!" "Oh, this is saltwater." "I must be near the shore, then." "It's big." "Gotcha!" "Moomin!" "Is that you, Moomin?" "What are you doing?" "Mamma, look!" "I caught a fish!" "Hurry, Mamma!" "Come!" "Oh dear!" "Don't let go, Moomin!" "How wonderful, Moomin!" "Hurrah!" "We did it!" "Oh my." "I thought this place looked familiar." "This is the shore near Moominvalley, is it not?" "Yes it is." "Why would you ask that, Mamma?" "Oh." "No particular reason." "But Pappa will probably be disappointed." "Where's Pappa?" "Oh..." "Pappa went on an adventure." "An adventure?" "Where?" "I don't know." "To a place unknown to us, perhaps." "I would've loved to go with him." "When is he coming back?" "I don't know that either." "He might come home tonight..." "Or he might come home after a year." "I don't know where he went, after all." "Pappa probably is having the adventure of a lifetime, isn't he, Mamma?" "Mamma." "Where are you, Mamma?" "Mamma isn't here." "Mamma!" "Mam-Ah!" "Mamma, can you hear me?" "It's the sea." "Huh?" "This place..." "This place... seems..." "Oh!" "Pappa's back!" "Hey!" "Pappa's back!" "It's Pappa!" "Welcome back!" "Well." "I'm home, everyone." "Welcome home, Pappa." "Thanks, Mamma." "Pappa, how was your adventure?" "So-so I suppose." "Mamma, I'm hungry." "Will you cook something for me?" "You can eat my meat dish!" "I also made some vegetable soup!" "That sounds great!" "I shall have them, thank you." "Pappa, tell us about your adventure!" "I will later." "I bet it was a really thrilling adventure!" "Very much so." "Children, Pappa's already tired." "You can ask him to tell you stories some other time." "Yes." "Today, once again, we have a peaceful Moominvalley." "A hot summer such as never before has descended upon Moominvalley." "We went to the sea to play and found - ourselves some mysterious magical seeds." "Next time on Fun Family Moomin:" "Magical Seeds from the Sea" "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"
