"Hey, a sharks jaw like this would be nice to return home with." "As soon as we get a holiday I think I'll go out and catch a couple of really big sharks." "But you're bleeding." "Have you hurt yourself?" "It's just a little scratch I got when I fought with the shark." "Gosh, I thought you were just kidding when you said you could kill a shark." "Look, what I found in the shark's head." "A bullet from Grandma's rifle." "Amazing!" "Then the shark managed to catch the bullet before I killed it." "Swedish Radio presents" "Villervalle in the South Pacific" "The Copra Island" "...nutriton is still very uncertain." "Well." "Err... read aloud the last thing you wrote." "Whether any higher correlation coefficient can really be demonstrated... that concerns the 3 above mentioned subjects, between general fitness and nutrition is still very uncertain." "Err, still very uncertain, yes." "Well, it seems rather doubtful to me... whether anyone at the Public Health Institute will really understand what you mean." "It couldn't be easier." "I mean only that it's somewhat uncertain whether Toukurangis and Mavus's indigestion... really depends on their eating habits." "But if that's what you mean, why don't you say it?" "Where was I, now?" "Okay." "The experiment was conditioned, however..." "What's happening?" "They're running, during siesta time." "Villervalle!" "Villervalle, you understand the local language, scurry down to the beach and see what's happening!" "Villervalle!" "Huh!" "He's sleeping." " Villervalle!" "Wake up!" " What is it?" "We need an experienced detective to help solve a mystery." "A detective?" "Where's the evidence." "Evidence." "They're collecting it right now on the beach." "So scurry down and see what they're up to." "Okay, Boss." "And hey, take no prisoners until you've consulted with me." "Ouch!" ""With the warmest greetings from the South Seas in chilly winter."" ""Yours sincerely", and then my name." "Now don't write, "yours severely" this time." "Well, have you solved the mystery?" "Sure, Boss." "The villagers have decided to travel over to the other side of the lagoon to make copra." "It was surprising, how suddenly it came on." "I asked chief Toukorangi last night when they would start making copra, and he said it was impossible to give any definite answer." "He probably told the truth." "Someone in the village suddenly gets the idea that it's the right time and dashes off." "Everyone drops what they're doing and immediately follow him." "But can't we go with them, Ernst?" "You've always said, that it would be so interesting to see how they make copra." "Well, it's also just a bit sudden." " Dad!" " Let's go too, all of us!" "Yes, I've said several times, that it would be interesting... to follow the natives' lives completely." "Well, what do you say about going to the school of life for a while, for a change?" "Yes, but we have to hurry, otherwise the canoe will leave without us!" "Yes, that's right, then we'll have to get moving." "After a couple hours of canoeing we arrived at the island across the lagoon, where the Raroians make copra." "We'll stay here at least a month to produce copra." "It looks as if they plan to live quite comfortably, but the only equipment they have with them are knives, spears and loincloths." "We haven't much stuff with us either." "So Mom and Dad are beginning to wonder, how this adventure will end." "Well, they apparently mean that we're going to stay here." "But we can't sleep under the open sky for several weeks." "If our Raroia friends can do it, then we can too." "Ouch, oh!" "Yes, luckily we have our rain gear with us." "And then we can always make little, comfortable grass beds to sleep on." "Ouch!" "Well, I for one,would probably prefer a slightly more well-furnished apartment." "To build a palm hut is demanding precision work." "It's important to have a good eye, like Tetohu." "Oh yes, Dad's foot survives by a millimeter." "All work is divided efficiently and rationally." "Weaving palm leaves is a job for women, of course." "Please watch out, Dad!" "There!" "Dad's eye for measurement is of course not as good as Tetohu's." "Yes." "It's good, eh!" " Isn't it meal time soon?" " Well, it probably is." "But have you already forgotten that we don't have any food with us?" "We get to eat with the natives, so we'll just have to wait until they get hungry." "So long!" "Finally food!" "Kaoko and Popino have harpooned fish on the reef." "The fish are placed uncleaned directly on the red-hot stones." "It almost feels like you've been transported to ancient times." "Yes, the natives had no canned goods or other things to use." "And no iron tools or other modern stuff either." "No, it probably wasn't always easy." "Cooking was apparently not a major problem for them." "I wonder how they made a fire in the past." "It was so very simple." "They just rubbed two sticks together." "Like this!" "That would be good exercise for you, when you light your pipe." "It's important to tap with just enough strength, so... the shavings that collect in the groove don't smother the embers." "The natives have nowadays gone over to using Swedish matches." "Jönköping is better known than Stockholm in the South Pacific." "Though they have a little trouble with pronunciation." "The fish!" "It's a shame." "They're completely charred." "Tetohu gave orders that all the fish were to be thrown into the sea." "But it wasn't because they were charred, but because they'd absorb some salt water and become more palatable." "Well, it's a common way to salt the food down here." "It... it's good, this." "Yes, it's really delicious to eat roast coral fish." "It would taste wonderful." "A coconut with fresh coconut water." "I dare not climb higher!" "Get your lovely fresh coconuts here!" "Only 25 cents each or five for a krona!" "Only 25 cents each." " Five from a krona." " Not "from", "for" a krona." "Lovely fresh coconuts." "Only 25 cents each or..." "Five for a krona!" "Lovely fresh South Sea nuts." "Only 25 cents each." " Five for...!" " Shh!" "Will you come down right now." "Should I jump down, then?" "Climbing up was easy, but coming down again..." "Ouch!" "Ow..." "Careful, Villervalle." "But just look at yourself!" "Look, Ernst!" "Well, what were you doing up in the palm tree?" "There." "Now you're coming home with me and rest." "If we have a home." "It's actually a really nifty home, I think." "Yes, and we didn't need to be on any waiting list, either." "The only drawback is that we have to crawl around on all fours." "Villervalle!" "That's all for today!" "What?" "Do I have go to bed before it's dark?" "Aah!" "Yes, you probably need to rest for a while." "As you can see, it's not so easy in the school of life either." "Don't worry, Dad." "I like this type of primary school." "Go on, march, inside and lie down!" "Ouch!" "I can't lie down with these sores you guys!" "Subtitles by Faxeholm and Squashy Hat"
