NOOK Book. The Spring Tune One calm and cloudless evening, toward the end of April, Snufkin found himself far enough to the north to see still-unmelted Tales from Moominvalley of snow on the northern slopes. He had been walking all day through undisturbed landscapes, listening to the cries of the birds also on their way northward, home from the South. Walking had been easy, because his knapsack was nearly empty and he had no worries on his mind. He felt happy about the wood and the weather, and himself. Tomorrow and yesterday were both at a distance, and just at present the sun was shining brightly red between the birches, and the air was cool and soft. A new tune, one part expectation, two parts spring sadness, and for the rest just the great delight of walking alone and liking it. It had to grow into a kind of happy conviction. Then he would simply have to put his lips to the mouth-organ, and all the notes would jump instantly into their places. If he released them too soon, they might get stuck crossways and make only a half-good tune, or he might lose them altogether and never be in the right mood to get hold of them again. Tunes are serious things, especially if they have to be jolly and sad at the same time. But this Tales from Moominvalley Snufkin felt rather sure of his tune. It was there, waiting, nearly full-grown—and it was going to be the best he ever made. Really a good one. Yes, Moomintroll, always waiting and longing. Naturally you must go away. I do understand that you have to be alone at times. He was sniffing around for a good place to camp in, and when he heard a brook a bit farther on in the wood he went toward Tales from Moominvalley sound. The last red ray of sunlight had vanished between the birches. Now came the Tales from Moominvalley twilight, slow and blue. All the wood Tales from Moominvalley changed, and the white pillars of the birches went wandering farther and farther off in the blue dusk. The brook was a good one. In places it droned sharp as a Tales from Moominvalley, then it tried to sound great and menacing, stopped, gurgled with a mouthful of melted snow, and laughed at it all. Snufkin stood listening in the damp moss. A sudden change, just in passing. Then he went in under the firs to look for firewood. The ground was still wet from the spring thaw and the rains, and Snufkin had Tales from Moominvalley crawl far under a brambly windfall to find any dry sticks. When he reached out, someone gave a sudden shout and flashed past him and off among the firs, still crying and squeaking all the way. Funny how nervous they always seem to be. The smaller the jumpier. Snufkin was used to cooking his own dinner. So many people insisted on talking when they had a meal. Also they had a great liking for chairs and tables, and some of them used napkins. He even had heard of a Hemulen who changed his clothes everytime he was about to eat, but that was probably slander. A little distractedly, Snufkin ate his meager soup while he rested his eyes on the green moss by the birches. The tune was quite near at hand, easy to catch by the tail. Snufkin was washing his saucepan in the brook when he caught sight of the Creep. It was sitting on the far side below Tales from Moominvalley tree root, looking at him. Two shy eyes under a mop of hair. Just the look people have who are never noticed. He raked up his fire and cut himself some fir twigs to sit on. He took out his pipe and lit it. He puffed a few clouds of smoke toward the night sky and waited for the spring tune. They watched everything he did, admiringly, and he began to feel uneasy once more. Be off! I know who you are. The brook was rather too broad for it, and the water was ice-cold. Do you have it here? His tune was lost, loneliness was gone, all was different. He clenched his teeth around the pipe-stem and stared in among the birches without really seeing them. The evening was spoiled anyway, so he thought it easier to talk. Do you think … perhaps Tales from Moominvalley might … I mean, would it be a lot of trouble for you to think up a name for me, a name that would be only mine and no one else could have it? Now, tonight? Perhaps I will go somewhere else. Its fur was beginning to dry and becoming light brown and soft. That name you asked for. What about Teety-woo, for instance. It thought its name over, tasted it, listened to it, crawled inside it, and finally turned its nose to the sky and softly howled its new name, so sadly and ecstatically that Snufkin felt a shiver along his back. Then a brown tail disappeared in the brambles, and all was silent. He rapped out his pipe. Come back. And at least this Creep has got a name. He knew at once that Tales from Moominvalley had moved too far away to be caught. The only thing he seemed to hear was the eager and shy voice of the Creep, talking and talking and talking.
