21 " Sniff lay under his blanket and screamed."Now it's right over us!" said Moominpappa. And at that moment a giant flash of lighting lit up the island, followed by a rending crash."That struck something!" said the Snork.It was really a bit too much. The Hemulen sat holding his head. "Trouble! Always trouble!" he muttered. "

22 " Someone who eats pancakes and jam can’t be so awfully dangerous. You can talk to him. "
23 " Sniff looked at them and noticed that they were much smaller than he was, so he felt kinder and said, condescendingly. "Hullo. Nice to see you. "
24 " Listen," said the Hemulen. "I was born bald on top and really I get along very well. "
25 " Well, things can't get much worse -- that's one consolation," the Muskrat groaned. He had hidden himself in a forest of bracken in the bathroom, and had wrapped his head in a handkerchief so that nothing should grow into his ears. "
26 " I have every respect for your deductions, but you are wrong, completely and absolutely, and without any doubt. – The Muskrat "
27 " Mutta voi, miten ihanaa on hiljaisena hetkenä juuri ennen auringon nousua mennä kotiin nukkumaan kun syömiset on syöty, juomiset juotu, puhumiset puhuttu ja tanssittu jalat väsyksiin. "
28 " It's finished. There isn't a stamp, or an error that I haven't collected. Not one. What shall I do now?""I think I'm beginning to understand," said Moomintroll slowly. "You aren't a collector anymore, you're only an owner, and that isn't nearly so much fun. "
29 " It was the end of August — the time when owls hoot at night and flurries of bats swoop noiselessly over the garden. Moomin Wood was full of glow-worms, and the sea was disturbed. There was expectation and a certain sadness in the air, and the harvest moon came up huge and yellow. Moomintroll had always liked those last weeks of summer most, but he didn’t really know why. "
30 " Oh!" said Moominmamma with a start, "I believe those were mice disappearing into the cellar. Sniff, run down with a little milk for them." Then she caught sight of the suitcase which stood by the steps. "Luggage too," thought Moominmamma. "Dear me -- then they've come to stay." And she went off to look for Moominpappa to ask him to put up two more beds -- very, very small ones. "
31 " Toivokaamme hänelle hyvää teltanpaikkaa ja kevyttä sydäntä! "
32 " Antakaa minulle jotain vahvistavaa, Taikuri sanoi. - Tämä alkaa käydä hermoilleni.Muumimamma juoksutti hänelle heti pannukakkua ja hilloa ja antoi hänelle suuren lautasen. "
33 " Tro på mig bara. Jag är förskräckligt klok! "
34 " Clever of you, Hemul. But, on the other hand, think how lonely the Groke is because nobody likes her, and she hates everybody. The Contents is perhaps the only thing she has. Would you now take that away from her too -- lonely and rejected in the night?" Sniff became more and more affected and his voice trembled. "Cheated out of her only possession by Thingumy and Bob." He blew his nose and couldn't go on. "
35 " ¡Dios mío!, exclamó Mamá Mumin con un sobresalto. Estoy segura de que acabo de ver un par de ratas entrar en la cava. ¡Snif, llévales un platito de leche! "
36 " -Huh! sanoi Hemuli. -Hyi, miten minä pelästyin. Tiedättehän, ettei minua saa pelästyttää, minulta voi mennä sydän väärään kurkkuun. "
37 " We must go home!", said the Snork."Not yet!" begged the Snork Maiden. "We haven't had the time to explore the cliff on the other side properly! We haven't even bathed!""We can wait a little and see what happens, can't we?" said Moomintroll. "It would be such a pity to go home just when we've discovered this island!""But if there's a storm we shan't be able to go at all!" said the Snork, brightly."That would be wonderful!" burst out Sniff. "We could stay here for ever and ever.""Quiet children, I must think," said Moominpappa. He went down to the beach and sniffed the air, turned his head in all directions and wrinkled his forehead. "
38 " Moomintroll bent down to wake the Snork Maiden up, and then he noticed a terrible thing. Her beautiful fluffy fringe was burnt right off. It must have happened when the Hattifatteners brushed against her. What could he say? How could he comfort her? It was a catastrophe!The Snork Maiden opened her eyes and smiled."Do you know," said Moomintroll hastily, "it's most extraordinary, but as time goes on I'm beginning to prefer girls without hair?""Really?" she said with a look of surprise. "Why is that?""Hair looks so untidy!" replied Moomintroll. "
39 " Tarzan hungry, dijo el Mumintroll trepando una liana. Tarzan eat now!¿Qué dice?, preguntó SnifDice que ahora va a comer, dijo la señorita Snork. Verás, es lo único que sabe hacer. Habla en inglés como todos los que viven en la selva. "
40 " Muumipappa oli ruvennut kuvaamaan lapsuuttaan. Kirjoittaessaan hän oli aina niin liikuttunut että melkein itki. Hän oli ollut erikoinen ja lahjakas lapsi, jota kukaan ei ymmärtänyt. Vanhempana hän sai osakseen yhtä vähän ymmärtämystä, ja hänen elämänsä oli kaikin puolin kauheaa. Muumipappa luki kaiken kirjoittamansa ja ajatteli, miten kaikki katuisivat lukiessaan hänen muistelmiaan. Silloin hän ilostui jälleen ja sanoi itsekseen: -Se on heille oikein! "
