TROLL KIDS |
|
There are lots of little Troll Children in Trolldom.
And just like their human counterparts, they can be cute and sweet, wild
and wonderful, impossible and interesting. Take a look at what it
might be like to be a Troll Kid. |
 |
Board
games are fun, and here you see some of the Troll kids playing one of
their favorites, Trolldomonopoly. It's pretty much like the regular
Monopoly. Troll kids also like card games, especially 'Donkey' and 'Go
Fish'. Rosie, Mushroom Joey, Sumppi boy Timmy and Poppa were having a
perfectly nice game here, but as you can see, that's about to change!
Mudhats are really mean and if you're not careful, things will get
messy. |
| Basketball
is a popular game in Trolldom, too. Papa Poppa is trying to teach the
kids, Poppa Boy and Noppa Girl about things like lay-ups and dunking and
so on, while Mama Noppa is busy making sure that the basketballs stay
clean. 'Daddy, can you make me taller right now? Please? Then I could get
this ball in the basket, I'm sure" said Poppa Boy. "Daddy, can I
ride on your shoulders, please Daddy, please", said Noppa Girl. |

Mushroom Harry was having a lot of fun with his
boat, sailing it down one of the little creeks near the Mushroom Fire
Station. Little Sneaky, the toughest of all the little Mudhats showed up.
"Gimme that boat!" he demanded.
"NO, it's MY boat"
said Harry.
"I'll take it! And you can't stop me!" said Little Sneaky.
"You can't
just take it, it's mine" said Harry. They continued like that for a
while, until the boat had sailed out of sight. Little Sneaky didn't want
to run after it. |
| In
the wintertime, Troll kids like to build snow forts and have snow fights.
Sometimes Little Busters come to help.
On this day things didn't go
smoothly. Three big Mudhats came and took over the fort!
"That is
nasty!" said Noppa girl.
"It's okay, we've got lots of
ammunition!" said Sumppi boy Timmy.
"Wow, now we'll have a REAL
snow fight!" said Mushroom Joey to Harry. It was a terrific snow
fight! Mudhats had no idea how accurately the Troll kids can throw their
snowballs!

Trolls
like to sing and the kids are no exception. They asked Peetu to be their
choir master, and they practice once a week.
For special occasions, they
prepare special songs. If you read the story about the disappearance of
Boxtroll's Spaceship, you'll find out how knowing a whole bunch of songs
can be an especially good thing...
|
| Did you ever have a tree house? Here is the one
the Sumppi children built, with a little bit of help (ok, quite a lot of
help) from Mom and Dad.
"Mommy, I'm going to stay here FOREVER!"
said Sumppi girl Linn.
"Me, too, if I never come down, then I don't
have to go to school, right?" said her brother Timmy.
"How can
we get them down?", wondered Papa Sumppi.
"Like this",
said Mama. "Children, we brought cookies and lemonade!" The kids
came down immediately.

Now, doesn't this
look like fun! This place is called the SPEED BUMP HILL - it's a pretty
steep hillside with a few interestingly placed bumps on it. In this case
you actually want to avoid the bumps, otherwise your little cart may take
off way too fast, flip over or crash. (Usually the boys go right over the
bumps and the girls try to go around them. Are you surprised?)
As you can see, the boys are
coming down the hill recklessly, each one trying to be the one to get
there first. And as always, it's the going up the hill that's going to
wear you out.
The girls here at the bottom
corner are planning a campaign to get Honeylips to build a kid-lift onto
the side of the hill. |
| Birthday parties are
a lot of fun, too. Everybody has a fancy party hat, and Noppa girl is
decorating the tree with some nice, long ribbon.
The cake - a chocolate cake
with pretty vanilla icing - is being carefully watched by Joey the
Mushroom. It's his sister Susie's birthday, but we're not sure how old she
is because there aren't any candles on the cake. (Why aren't there
candles? Well, the
party is outside and it's a windy day.)
The Muksu Trolls, Blueberry and
Rosie, are getting nervous, because Mustard Moe and Red Peppa are late.
They better not be late for the cake! |

Little Mushrooms
like to help out at the Fire Station, and one of their favorite things to
do is to play with the fire hoses.
But it's frustrating to be a
Little Mushroom and not be allowed to actually put out fires. So... what
happened here? Oh, they were so brilliant! First the Little
Mushrooms complained to Mr. and Mrs. Mushroom that they were REALLY
COLD, so Mr. Mushroom started a cozy fire in the fireplace. Then, when the
parents weren't looking, they quickly proceeded to put out the fire. |
| Rainy days are fun,
too.
On this day there was a lot
splishing and splashing going on.
Little Sumppi Girl Linn wanted to finish reading her book even though it
pouring rain. "This is what umbrellas are for, isn't it?" she
said when asked about it.
Muksu Trolls didn't want their
hair to get all wet, and there you see Blueberry bringing a nice big hat
for Mustard Moe. Hat or no, we can tell you that the hair got completely
soaked anyway.
After they all went home, there
was much splishing and splashing going on in bathtubs, and Hot Chocolate
never tasted better!

"Oh my!" exclaimed Mrs.
Noppa. She and Mr. Poppa had been out for a walk for maybe half an hour.
"Hey Mom, Dad, look at this!" shouted Poppa Boy. "Get
down this minute" said Mom. "Hi Mom and Dad, see the splash I
made with the orange!" giggled Noppa girl. "Children, you
better clean up this mess" said Papa Poppa. "Oh, come on,
cleaning isn't fun. THIS is fun!" the kids said . They were right,
cleaning wasn't fun, but they had to do it. |
