small adventures
’Not one adventure in the whole day,’ said Sniff. ‘Just grey banks and grey banks and grey banks and not even an adventure.’
‘I think it’s very adventurous to float down a winding river,’ said Moomintroll. ‘You never know what you’ll meet around the next corner. You always want adventures, Sniff, and when they come you’re so frightened you don’t know what to do.’
‘Well, I’m not a lion’, said Sniff reproachfully. ‘I like small adventures. Just the right size.’
