The first day of the return journey

Saturday, October 1

The boy sat on the back of a big white goose, flying like a cloud and a fog.

There were about thirty geese, lined up in neat formations, flying towards the south quickly.

The feathers flapped in the wind, and many wings flapped the air together, forming a noisy wave of sound, and even they themselves couldn't hear the sound they made.

The wild geese from the Snow Mountain of Cabnekes were flying in the front, followed by Yaxi, Kaxi, Kohme and Nelia, Visie and Cusi, followed by the male goose Morten and the gray goose Dengfen.

Last winter, the six geese that followed the group of geese had left the team and embarked on their journey of life alone.

The old geese bring twenty-two geese that grew up in the valley this summer.

Eleven geese fly on the left, and eleven geese fly on the right.

These geese try to maintain the same distance, just like their elders.

These poor geese have never had such long-distance trips in the past, so at the beginning of the journey, it is difficult for them to catch up with such a fast-flying team.

"The geese from the Snow Mountain of Cabnekes! The geese from the Snow Mountain of Cabnekes!"

They called the leader in a sad tone.

"What's the matter?"

Aka asked anxiously.

"Our wings are so tired that we can't move, our wings are so tired that we're almost disbanding!"

The young geese lamented.

"The longer you fly, the better you will fly."

The leader replied, not reducing her flight speed at all.

She was really right. After more than two hours of flying, the geese stopped complaining that they were tired.

But in the canyon they developed the habit of eating all day long, so they felt hungry after flying.

"Aka, Aka, Aka from the Snow Mountain of Cabnekes!"

The geese wailed pitifully again.

"What's the problem now?"

The leader asked.

"We are so hungry that we can't fly!"

The geese complained in a low voice, "We are too hungry and can't fly anymore!"

“The geese must learn to eat air and drink strong winds.”

The leader said, continue to fly forward.

In fact, the young geese seem to have learned to live in the air and the wind, because after another journey, they no longer complain about being hungry.

The geese are still in the mountainous area. Whenever they fly over a high mountain, the leading geese will call out the name of the mountain, so that the young geese can remember the names of those peaks.

Every time they fly, they will shout like this: "This is Bosuqiaoji Mountain, this is Saarjeqiaokao Peak, this is Solitairema Mountain."

Such things, but soon after, the geese began to become impatient with it.

"Aka, Aka, Aka!"

They shouted in a pitiful voice.

"What's the matter?"

The leader said.

"We don't have a quick mind and can't remember so many strange names!"

The geese cried out.

"The more you use your brain, the more clever you will be."

The leader replied, continuing to call on the strange name of the mountain.

The boy sat on the back of the goose and thought that it was time for the geese to go south. Because the heavy snow fell on the ground, it looked white at first glance.

The last few days they spent in the canyon were obviously quite uncomfortable, and there was no need to deny it.

Heavy rain and thick fog launched violent attacks one after another. Even if the weather cleared up in one or two days, frost soon came again.

The boy saw strawberries and mushrooms that survived in summer, either frozen or rotted.

In the end, he had no choice but to eat raw fish, which was something he hated.

The day is getting shorter and shorter, and the long night and the delayed morning make people feel bored because the sun disappears after not long after sleeping.

Now, the wings of the geese have finally grown hard, and the geese can set off to the south.

The boy laughed and sang happily on the back of the goose, and was complacent.

The reason why he was so happy was not only because it was dark and cold there, but he was looking forward to leaving Lapland quickly, but there were other reasons.

During the first week of staying in Lapland, the boy had no idea of ​​homesickness.

He felt that this was a beautiful and brilliant area that he had never seen before.

The only thing he was worried about was the fear of being eaten by mosquitoes.

Besides that, he lives a carefree life.

The boy had very few opportunities to see the male goose, because the big white goose was all about his Deng Fen, and he was even unwilling to leave her for a moment.

However, the Thumb Little Man has been sticking with Aka and the Eagle Gorgo, and they have spent many happy times together.

Both birds took him on long distance trips.

The boy once stood on the snow-covered Cabnekes Snow Mountain overlooking the glaciers beneath him, and visited many off-the-scenes mountains and cliffs.

Aka also took him to see the deep mountain streams and canyons, and allowed him to peek into the cave where the female wolf raised the wolf cubs.

He also met reindeer grazing on the beautiful lake of Lake Tone, and he had also visited the waterfalls and conveyed greetings and blessings to the bears who lived there from his relatives and friends who lived in the Westmanland area.

Ever since he met Osa, the goose girl, he longed to go home with the goose Morten one day and become a human again.

He wanted to be himself again so that Osha would not be afraid to talk to herself and would not turn him out.

Yes, he was very happy that they finally embarked on the journey to return to the south.

He took off his hat, waved at the first pine forest he saw, and cheered loudly.

He also greeted the first gray wooden house he saw, the first goat, the first cat and the first chicken.

"Where are you going, wild goose?"

The migratory birds passing by asked, “Where are you going?”

"We are going to a foreign land like you."

The geese replied.

"Your geese seem to be not ready for flight," shouted the birds, "their wings are too weak to be able to fly across the sea."

The Laplands and reindeer also left the mountain.

When the geese saw the reindeer, they circled over the reindeer and shouted, "Thank you for spending the summer with us!"

"I wish you a pleasant journey and welcome you to come again next summer!"

The reindeer responded politely.

But when the bear saw the figure of the geese, he pointed at the geese and shouted at the bear cub: "Look at these geese, I can't stand the slight coldness, and I actually have to leave my hometown to spend the winter."

Lao Yan disdains to talk back to him, but shouts to the young Yans: "Look at these bears. They would rather lie at home and sleep for a year or a half, than go to the southern world to see!"

In the pine forest beneath them, the young grouse squeezed together and shrank into a ball. They watched the geese fly happily south with longing.

"When will it be our turn?"

Little Grouse asked their mother.

"You must stay at home with your parents."
