Moomins and the Comet Chase Page #5

You could say that.

They show up

once every hundred years.

They're red with a tail.

Ah! Extraordinary!

I must have one in my collection!

And tell me, what do they feed on,

these strange comet insects?

Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha. I'm not sure,

but I think they eat Hemulens.

Oh!

Oh, listen, here young man,

science is no joking matter.

You should be

ashamed of yourself!

I refuse to stand here

and be insulted.

I shall withdraw.

Good day to you!

Hah-ha-ha! He thought a comet

was some kind of bug!

Oh, we left the coffee pot

on the raft,

so we'll have

to make do with pancakes.

Mmm. Reminds me of home.

And Mamma's kitchen.

The second day

of the journey was over.

Moomintroll looked up

at the night sky.

Searching it for a rogue,

red star,

that could be heading

straight at them.

They continued on

towards the observatory

and soon reached

the Lonely Mountains.

Majestic peaks towered

over the valley floor,

where our three friends lay asleep,

snug in their tent,

until the cold grey

morning mists crept in,

nipping Moomintroll's nose.

A bit of morning exercise

will warm me up.

Huh!

Yeah!

Huh! Ahh!

Owa huh!

Huh!

Today we climb

the highest peak.

Up there?

Can we see the observatory from here?

Yes! There it is!

Yes, it's up on the very top.

An observatory needs to be

as close to the stars as it can be.

Ha-up, aah!

Hey, yeah! Huh up ha! Huh up ha!

Mmmh! Tea!

I was afraid we'd left it on the raft.

Heh, heh. Here's the kettle.

That's good teamwork.

Mountain climbing

is hard work.

We need a good, hard breakfast

in our tummies,

so we can make it

all the way to the top.

Aaagh! Remember, that we're

doing this at your risk.

Aw! Ugh!

Oh, my legs are too short!

They don't reach the ground.

And don't forget,

I get dizzy with heights.

Don't worry Sniff,

if you fall, the lifeline will catch you.

- Uhh!

- There!

Come on!

The higher up they climbed,

the steeper it got.

Everything around them

was ancient, enormous and lonely,

terribly lonely.

Huh!

Huh!

- - Wooooooo!

Well, be careful!

We're coming to a cliff ledge.

Oh, look!

Down there!

Something shiny.

You see it?

Far down the cliff face,

lay a tiny circle of gold.

Hey, that looks like...

could it be Snork Maiden's

ankle bracelet?

She must have been here,

picking mountain flowers.

Oha! Flowers.

Yes.

She must have lost her ankle bracelet

and not been able to find it again.

Such a shame!

Lucky she didn't fall off the cliff too!

Lower me down!

We gotta get that

bracelet back.

She must be missing it.

Leave it!

She'll be fine

without it.

I've got to get it for her.

She'll be lost without it.

Lower me down.
