"Snufkin was sitting before his tent, painting a cork fishing float. Moomintroll looked at him, and straight away he felt happy over his dragon again. 'Whew,' he said. 'Families are a nuisance sometimes.' Snufkin grunted in agreement without taking his pipe from his mouth. They sat silent for a while, in male and friendly solidarity. 'By the way,' Moomintroll suddenly said. 'Have you ever come across a dragon on your wanderings?'" #MoominMonday #Bookstodon #BeMoreMoomin

"'Don't disturb me,' said Sniff solemnly. 'This is the biggest moment of my life so far, and it's my first cave.' He smoothed the sand with his tail and sighed. 'I shall live here for ever,' he thought, 'I shall put up little shelves and dig a sleeping-hole in the sand, and have a lamp burning in the evenings. And perhaps I'll make a rope-ladder so that I can go up to the roof and look at the sea.'" from 'Comet in Moominland' #MoominMonday #Bookstodon #BeMoreMoomin
