"Episode No 8"
As soon as Helgi and Fly and Merry have escaped from the swans' clutches, they go on slowly for a while. It's midday now, and the weather has warmed up.
Helgi takes off his scarf and ties it round Fly's neck, and holds his cap in his hand. He starts thinking about everything that has happened to him on the way here.
It's as though he's always been getting in someone's way. Everywhere is full of like. And he can easily understand that the birds want to protect their eggs and their young.
What would his mother say if someone tried to take him away from her? So he decides to be careful and make sure he doesn't frighten the animals that live in the world.
All at once the rain 🌧️☔ comes pelting down. The water streams down from the sky like a waterfall. And there's no shelter from the rain 🌧️.
But Helgi finds an answer to that. He jumps off the mare and crouches down under Fly's belly. Merry joins him there right away.
'Well now, Fly', Helgi says. 'What a wonderful creature you are,old girl. We can even use you as a house 🏠🏡 when it rains.
Fly bends her big head down to Helgi and gives a quiet and friendly neigh, and allows him to stroke her cheek. Merry snuggles up alongside him. All three of them are such good friends.
