5 " The star we're looking for isn't so very friendly," said Moomintroll. " Quite the contrary, in fact." " What did you say?" said Sniff.Moomintroll went a bit red. " I mean -- stars in general," he said, " big and small, friendly and unfriendly, and so on." " Can they be unfriendly?" asked Snufkin." Yes -- ones with tails," answered Moomintroll. " Comets." At last it dawned on Sniff. " You're hiding something from me!" he said accusingly. " That pattern we saw everywhere, and you said it didn't mean anything!" " You're too small to be told everything," answered Moomintroll." Too small!" screamed Sniff. " I must say it's a fine thing to take me on an expedition of discovery and not tell me what I'm supposed to be discovering! "
