INSIDE THE MOOMINHOUSE

In the next room Moominpapa sat writing his memoirs. Nothing amusing had happened since he had built the landing-stage, so he went on with the story of his childhood, and this brought such memories that he nearly burst into tears. He had always been a bit out of the ordinary as a child, and nobody had ever understood him. When he got older it was the same, and he had had a frightful time in every way. Moominpapa wrote and wrote thinking how sorry everyone would be when they read his story, and this cheered him up again, and hi said to himself: ’ It will serve them jolly well right!’
