One Summer of Happiness Page #4

Not in Hellmo Parish. But...

If you want to know what

a reaI Hellmo pike looks like-

- just have a look at Kerstin's aunt.

But be carefuI because she bites.

- Johan...

- Don't start.

Grandma and Grandpa...

Don't tell anyone

that you saw us together.

Can't aunt Anna stand

that you've grown up and want a man?

- And why shouldn't she get one?

- I'm old enough to speak my mind.

Be nice to her. She deserves it.

Who's that boy?

Do you know what I'm thinking about?

If I should feeI

really blue sometime-

- I'd visit the old folks.

They'd know how to help me.

- What was that?

- Pay attention!

I'll twist your nose

if you don't tell me. Well?

Come to me when things are bad.

- Don't you want to play?

- No, we're having coffee.

It's after-church coffee

at the Fredriks.

I think we'll get something

more substantiaI than coffee.

Why did they invite us

when we didn't go to church?

- Don't you ever go there?

- I can get scolded elsewhere.

The minister will be there

and they're up to no good.

About the barn?

He won't be happy about that.

People can be so dense and petty.

It's not like the Fredriks

wanted any part of it.

- Sigrid won't like it, either.

- She can't face the minister now.

Sigrid? We'll walk with you.

- Hello.

- Hello, Reverend.

- No...

- I insist, Miss Persson.

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Amen.

I'll start here.

- Here you go, Mr. Persson.

- Thank you, Reverend.

Sugar?

- Watch it, girI.

- Oops.

Give me a splash, too.

I don't mind some on the saucer.

Just make sure it's a lot.

- Have a bun, Reverend.

- Thank you.

It looks good,

but I'll stick to the biscuits.

It looks to be

a good year for farming-

- with the right amounts

of rain and warmth.

You could help me

weed out turnips tomorrow.

It's hard work,

but a good lesson for the future.

Some people weed things out

and some should be weeded out.

What about the turnips, Reverend?

The ones you leave in the ground?

It's for their sake that

you weed things out.

Yes, but it takes care and knowledge.

I had a field-hand who weeded out

the turnips and left all the weeds.

You have to get to know the plants.

- How much do you want?

- Trade services with my uncle.

I've heard that Mr. Persson has

been unusually generous lately.

You gave away some property

and people work there on Sundays.

- For free? Can that pay off?

- Most youngsters around here...

...are busy during the weeks

and have to work on Sundays.

Sundays are for the church.

One shouldn't neglect the spirituaI.

Church attendance is poor

among the youngsters.

We only had about half

of the choir in church today.
