Finn Family Moomintroll–Tove Jansson
I have an idea. What about going to the top of the mountain and making a pile of stones to show that we were the first to get there? Some people look better without hats. As everyone knows, if the first butterfly you see is yellow the summer will be a happy one. If it …
