Look, Arne! Mussels!

Yes!

Let there be one inside.

A big one.

And let Father come home.

Yes.

Look, Arne!

- Have you forgotten Elseros again?

- No, she has what she needs.

That bear cub!

That bear cub has to go.

Stop.

Stop... Young man.

That hay, you sell?

- My horse is very hungry.

- I'm afraid we need it ourselves.

You eat hay?

I didn't think so.

But our horse will die.

Not enough hay.

- You want my horse to die?

- I'll give you a little bit.

Young man,

you are a very good person.

Your kindness is very good.

It will come back to you some day.

Take this. If you get sick, eat them.

- Does it help against coughing?

- Yes. Also, oranges are very good.

You can buy them in Kristiansand.

Farewell.

Or-ang-es. Or-ang-es.

Oranges.

- Ready for a barn party?

- We didn't get much for the skis.

With that little amount of hay?

- Where are the skis?

- We've just taken responsibility.

- You sold the skis?

- You can use Father's sledge.

- Quiet, now.

- Did you sell the skis?

The gypsies were here.

Grassboy!

My harmonica! Knut!

You sold Grassboy and you sold

my harmonica! You sell everything!

Grow up, Yohan! We've got

bigger problems than that.

I know where they are.

Yohan, wait. Don't go!

Yohan, it will be dark soon.

Come back. Stop him!

- Mother, are you all right?

- The baby's coming!

You better watch out

so mother doesn't lose another baby.

Yohan, don't leave!

- Svein, prepare the horses!

- But the wolves?

You weren't born

on this mountain.

Hold on tight.

Will we get there in time?

They're hungry.

More are coming!

The snow is too deep!

Yes, like that.

- Hurry up, the baby is coming!

- Take the horse.

Get down.

- I'll take it from here.

- Get away. Go to the barn.

He's going to the last farm.

Then it's settled.

Sign here.

I will get food there

and maybe something for you.

An orange.

When you eat the orange,

you will stop coughing.

Yes.

For the ferry.

Go in peace.

Get going. You have brought

Mother enough sorrow as it is.

- Goodbye.

- Farewell.

Yohan? Go in peace.

- I only got 50.

- Yeah, but you got boots.

- I got 60 and these.

- You will get back home soon.

They told me to ask for Aslak.

Are you Aslak?

- Is that Aslak?

- Don't worry. That's just how he is.

Do you have your shoes?

- May the angels watch over you.

- You're not the one wandering.

- Be careful.

- I will.

I didn't think he could get

any meaner than last year.

Maybe he hasn't learned how to speak?

Hurry, Olai.

- Hi.

- Hello.

I thought your father

wouldn't let you wander.

He had to leave to get work.

Why are you here?

This has almost become

a sign of spring.

My stomach aches.
