KILJUSEN HERRASVÄKI
JALMARI FINNE
SISÄLLYS:
A boisterous country family sets out for Helsinki, intent on showing their nine‑year‑old twins the city before school begins. Father Kiljunen, a short, round‑bodied man, and his thin, long‑eyed wife bustle about, loading trunks and trying to corral their plump poodle, Pulla, while the boys—Mökö and Luru—dash about in a chaotic wake of shouts and mishaps. Their loud voices echo through the village, earning amused remarks from neighbors who wonder what the “Kiljusen crowd” is up to this time.
The journey quickly turns into a slapstick adventure: a runaway dog, a locked cart, and a frantic search for a missing child create a cascade of comic mishaps. As the family barrels toward the train station, the twins’ attempts to hide and help only add to the pandemonium, while the ever‑present clamor of the Kiljusens turns an ordinary trip into an unforgettable, uproarious outing.
