Same arrangement as last year,

I presume?

Come on, Olai.

The boy from the mountain!

- Lexya, let the boy go.

- Is my bear cub here?

Why are you alone in the

middle of the night? You run away?

- He's with the other children.

- What about his parents?

They have to send their children

to rich people.

- We never send our children away!

- We also have little food.

Let the boy go. Hurry up, so you

catch up with the others. Good luck!

Come on.

We won't wait for you again.

He can speak.

Look at this. It's from America.

- It's from America!

- Can I try?

- It sure will get crowded today.

- You could say that again.

Thank you.

- Thanks a lot.

- But it was here!

The coin... I don't understand.

- I've lost my money.

- Run! Meet us on the other side.

That little one?

He can't run that far. He'll burst.

Come on board.

- Olai, don't go near the railing.

- Okay.

- Go!

- Keep an eye on him, Yohan.

What are you waiting for?

Rolf? Watch Olai and my stick.

I have to run.

Run fast! I won't wait.

What's going on?

I told you to watch Olai!

I told Rolf to watch him. I need the

money to buy a gift for my brother.

We can help each other.

- Are you okay?

- Yes, sure. I'm fine.

- Let me see. You can't keep going.

- Yes, I can!

Stop!

Show me.

You need to grow up.

That's why they send us away.

Is that why yourlittle brother

is wandering? To grow up?

Let me have a look.

- What did you have?

- Flatbread.

It was Aslak.

I saw him opening Nils' bag.

And you didn't say anything?

Coward.

They've moved on without us.

They probably took the track.

You again? What are you doing here?

- We are going to Kristiansand.

- We had to take the shortcut.

Oh, so you're in a hurry?

Then today is yourlucky day.

Get in, and you can teach me

a shepherd's song.

Peasants!

Olai! Where are the others?

I have something for you.

With these rocks you can make a fire,

and get some variety in your meals.

And I want you to have this flute.

Practice every day

and the summer will fly by.

Thank you so much!

Oranges!

- Are those oranges?

- Yes, they are.

Thanks.

- Can I taste it?

- Run along back to the barn!

There's a stream down there.

Hurry up. I'll wait for you,

if you need a drink.

- I'm too exhausted.

- He just keeps walking.

We have to rest now.

I will get him to stop.

Aslak! Aslak!

Olai needs water!

We are tired and thirsty.

Aslak, we need water.

- Are you thirsty?

- Yes.

All right, weaklings.

Yohan Aamot?

That way.

I wasn't supposed

to go to the first farm.

- You will go that way to Nome.

- But it wasn't...

Straight ahead, through the forest,

up the alley, to Nome.

Good luck.

- Here, you can have it this summer.
