The Wonderful Adventures of Nils One day, while still in Lapland, Akka took the boy to Malmberget, where they discovered little Mats lying unconscious at the mouth of the pit. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils But not long did the Akka let us splash about the shallow basin. The Moon Pool "Your wings grew too big when you were on the cliff," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Is Akka also captured?" asked Gorgo in the tone of one who is trying to collect his thoughts after a long sleep. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka had imposed upon herself a tedious task. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils As soon as Akka received word that the swans needed her help, she hastened down to Hjälsta Bay. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Thousands upon thousands of the Akka were crowding upon it, and far away other hordes filled like a glittering thicket both sides of the cavern ledge's crescent strand. The Moon Pool When Akka alighted on the bay, all the swans living there were gathered near the eastern shore, where they were protected from the wind. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The geese alighted on the west shore of the bay; but when Akka saw where the swans were, she swam toward them at once. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I'm sure, Gorgo, that you have done more than you care to admit," assured Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Have you been eating of these?" asked Akka, pointing to some roots that lay on the ground. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils And in the meantime we shall have disposed my Akka to meet Yolara's men. The Moon Pool "Your claws grew too hooked, and your toes too large while you were up there on the cliff," Akka replied. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "This is due to the fact that I had no other food to give you when you were on the cliff," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "You must have wondered, Thumbietot, why we turned out of our course to fly here to the West Sea," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka bade them be silent, but it was impossible to stop so many wagging tongues. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Against this force, it appeared, we could count, roughly, upon two hundred thousand of the Akka. The Moon Pool The eagle heard this, and turned toward Akka with flaming eyes, as though he would have liked to attack her. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I can see, Gorgo, that you have had a wise bird like Akka for a foster-mother," the boy remarked. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Perhaps I had better not," said the boy hesitatingly, but something in his voice betrayed that he was glad of Akka's proposal. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Finally, he saw on a little hillock something that resembled a small, gray moss tuft, and he knew that there was Akka from Kebnekaise. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils These afforded the Akka a fair protection behind which they could hurl their darts and spears—curiously enough they had never developed the bow as a weapon. The Moon Pool Thumbietot kissed old Mother Akka on both cheeks, then he told her how he had been carried off to Skansen and held captive there. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "That is just the word I was expecting from you, Mother Akka," returned the boy eagerly. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I wonder if your father has a gun," said Akka suddenly. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka had shown him deep-hidden mountain dales and had let him peep into caves where mother wolves brought up their young. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Behind the wall defending the mouth of the cavern, waited other thousands of the Akka. The Moon Pool Akka saw a hunter prowling about on the mountain and therefore dared not stay to wait for you, but has gone on ahead. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils This was not the first time that Akka had called on the aristocratic swans. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils He heard Akka's calls, but did not understand what she said. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils They refrained from making comments, which rather surprised Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Here it was plain the Akka were holding. The Moon Pool The big white gander remembered Akka's admonition to pay no attention, no matter what he might hear. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka had just come up to Daylight and was about to ask him what kind of help he wanted of her, when the swan-king noticed the uproar among the swans. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Old mother Akka had found it hard to fly away from Thumbietot, and turned back, and now that the boy sat quite still she ventured to fly nearer to him. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When Akka came marching with her company, Dunfin's parents went out to meet her and welcome her to the island. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Suddenly, while we looked, the rocky wall which the Akka had built at the cavern mouth—was not! The Moon Pool Then it was well they stuck in your throat," said Akka, "for they are poisonous. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "You must beware of those sisters of yours, Dunfin!" warned Akka, "for they wish you no good, depend upon it!" The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Evidently Akka and Gorgo had arranged the meeting, for neither of them was taken by surprise. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Hurry, Dunfin, and call Akka and the wild geese!" he cried. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Leaping upon the dwarfs, smiting them with spear and club, with teeth and spur, the Akka fought like devils. The Moon Pool "Tell Akka I never expected to run across her or any of her flock out here in the sea!" he said, and soared away in a rapid and graceful flight. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils After a moment they heard Akka give the signal to start, and called Dunfin. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils You have a good opinion of me," returned Akka, "but I almost fear you will lose it now, for it's very probable that we have made this journey in vain. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka and the others turned to her, but the gray goose did not fly away at once. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils That last thin line of the Akka was going; yet they fought to the last, and none toppled over the lip without at least one of the armoured Murians in his arms. The Moon Pool It was most embarrassing to him that he could not learn to swim, and he went to Akka and complained of his inability. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The air was filled with birds who were on their way south, and there was great excitement among them when Akka appeared with an eagle in her train. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When the boy said this, Akka and the other wild geese stretched their long necks straight up and stood a moment, with bills half open, drinking in air. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Well, well, don't be in such haste," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils It swathed the Akka, and closer, ever closer it swept toward the approach upon which Yolara's men had now gained foothold. The Moon Pool "No; Akka, the white goosey-gander, and the whole flock are probably safe and sound up in Lapland at this season," said the boy. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Tickle him under the gorge and slap him on the back!" commanded Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka led the geese farther south to the great Skåne plain. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When Akka had spoken her mind she promptly retired, and did not show her face in the eagles' nest again for some time. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Through the clamour I heard a booming of the Akka, closer, closer; then through it the bellow of Lugur. The Moon Pool He soon forgot his parents, the eagles, and fancied that Akka was his real mother. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils That instant he heard Akka call to him from the air, and rose obediently. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "We must not forget entirely to eat breakfast today," said Akka, quickly spreading her wings. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I know who I am," he said to Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils And as we stood the Akka brought to us that other mighty fighter, Rador; but in him there was life, and we attended to him there as best we could. The Moon Pool It ended in Akka's forbidding the eagle to show his face in her neighbourhood, and her anger toward him was so intense that no one dared speak his name in her presence. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils After a fortnight Akka observed that the time was approaching for her to moult and put on a new feather dress so as to be ready to fly. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Perhaps it would be just as well not to tell Akka that you got the message from a fox. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils So far it had not occurred to him that he was of another species than the geese, but he could not help noting a number of things that surprised him, and he questioned Akka constantly. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Back, back were the Akka being swept, as though by brooms, tottering on the edge of the ledge, falling into the waters. The Moon Pool But Akka had set her heart on successfully training an eagle into a mild and harmless bird, and she could not tolerate his wanting to do as he chose. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils They used to say of him that he feared no one but his foster-mother, Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils As Akka approached the swans she paused to see if the geese who followed her swam in a straight line, and at even distances apart. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I have heard that you are in great favour with Akka, and it was my purpose to ask you to make peace between us." The Wonderful Adventures of Nils They clove the masses of the Akka, pressing them to the sides of the bridge and over. The Moon Pool Akka drew in her wings so suddenly that she almost stood still in the air. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Despite all attempts at resistance one after another fell asleep; and Akka herself came pretty near dozing off, when she suddenly saw something round and dark rise on the top of a wave. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Snow-White, the swan-queen, swam out to restore order among her subjects, and again Daylight turned to Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils If old Akka had not been so wakeful, not one of them would have escaped. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Then those of the Akka who were left turned their backs and ran. The Moon Pool The storm continued all day, and, at last, Akka began to wonder if she and her flock would perish. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Hardly had he wondered that Akka hadn't seen the danger in time, when they were over by the mountain. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka and the other wild geese tried to swim over to him, but were jostled hither and thither and could not get to him. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka shot toward the heights as fast as she could, and the flock followed with the greatest possible speed. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The cavern was paved with the dead-alive, the Akka carrying them out by the hundreds, casting them into the waters. The Moon Pool When the boy had eaten, Akka said that she thought he ran around in the park altogether too recklessly. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils While Akka flew her straight way with even wing-strokes, the stork amused himself by performing a lot of flying tricks. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils They directed their course toward the plain, and Akka breathed a sigh of relief. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Once again Akka and her flock had to take a night fly. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The boy was not a little terrified when he noticed that Akka began to descend right over that particular island! The Wonderful Adventures of Nils After a while Akka came to him, and asked if he had found anything to eat. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Then Akka began to enumerate them for him. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Oh, don't go yet, Mother Akka!" begged the boy, jumping from the hedge. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils No human being has ever been permitted to attend the Animal's Congress, at Kullaberg," said Akka, "and I shouldn't dare to take Thumbietot along. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The wild geese had flown high up in the air—evenly, and without haste—with Akka at the head maintaining strict discipline, and the rest in two oblique lines back of her. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "If we remain where we are, we may have to wait here until the next moon," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Well then, let it be as you wish," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The boy knew that Akka would not have proposed this move had there not been something important on foot, so he promptly seated himself on her back. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka understood now that the stork had become so enraged over the gray rats' mode of action, that he had sought her out as an excuse to complain about them. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When Akka said this, the stork raised his head and stared at her. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils But the raven was Akka's friend; and it was from him she had learned that Flammea owned a treasure like this. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils And that was not to be wondered at, for Akka had to fly over the whole of Skåne to get to Kullaberg. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The boy stood gazing admiringly at two beautiful shells, but when Akka spoke his name, he glanced up. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka, too, showed him that she felt very kindly toward him; she stroked her old head several times against his arms, and commended him because he had helped those who were in trouble. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils In the meantime Akka had flown southward in search of a new sleeping-place. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils He hadn't pulled a feather from a goose-wing, or given anyone a rude answer; and every morning when he called upon Akka he had always removed his cap and bowed. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The boy was absolutely certain that both Akka and the wild geese had heard all this. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "We think also," continued Akka, "that when a human being has attended us on a whole journey he shouldn't be allowed to leave us as poor as when he came." The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "What in all the world is this?" said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils To the great reunion held the year that Nils Holgersson travelled around with the wild geese, came Akka and her flock—later than all the others. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils No, mother Akka," he said, "you mustn't think that I lured the gray rats away to help the black ones. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils He had hardly said this before Akka turned to the stork and asked if he thought it was advisable to take Thumbietot along to Kullaberg. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "As long as we wild geese remain in Sweden, I trust that you will stay with us," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Only a single pause was made during the journey, and that was at Vomb Lake when Akka joined her travelling companions, and called to them that the gray rats had been vanquished. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils That they might find the boy as soon as possible, Akka had commanded the wild geese to start out—two and two—in different directions, to search for him. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils But no one had such a contempt for tame geese as Akka and her flock, and gladly would he have shown them that he was their equal. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Akka, Akka!" again cried those who flew last. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Nils gave a cry of joy and took old Akka in his arms. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Akka, Akka, Akka from Kebnekaise!" cried those who flew last and saw what a hard time he was having. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When Akka, the leader-goose, talked in this way, the boy stepped briskly forward. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils I have suspected this ever since I first saw you here on these shores," said Akka; "and now you can clear out of here at once. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils I don't want to forbid you to come along with us as far as you like," said Akka, "but think first if you wouldn't rather go home again. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Then the boy rose and went over to Akka; he stroked her and patted her. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The next morning it was clear and free from mist, and Akka said that now they should continue their travels. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When Akka observed that they were unable to turn back she thought that it was needless to let the storm drive them over the entire East sea. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "But if they are allowed to keep this up, you'll become entirely exterminated," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka said no more, and after Smirre had sent up a few more yowls, all was still. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Then I don't dare to stand here and wait for you," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka did not listen to him, but started off. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "You needn't worry about anything of that sort," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Do you stay out here in the winter as well?" asked Akka, surprised. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils He came right up to Akka, and looked sympathetic and serious. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Well, we're standing here talking as if we were never to meet again," said Akka, "but we shall see each other to-morrow, of course. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "We shall travel to Öland; but we have never been there before," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Then Akka craned her neck, snapped hard with her wings, and rushed on at full speed. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Do you think that they will come here to-night?" asked Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils If you, Akka, will take that Thumbietot—who has so often opposed me—and throw him down to me, I'll promise to make peace with you. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When it drew on toward midnight, and the moon hung high in the heavens, old Akka shook the sleepiness out of her eyes. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Now it was Akka's words to the fox that prevented him from sleeping. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils But he only had a glimpse of the towers and fortifications which barred the entrance to the harbour, and the many buildings, and the shipyard—before Akka came down on one of the flat church-towers. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "We had him with us all along until just lately," said Akka, "but now we no longer know where he's to be found." The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When the fox yowled in this manner, old Akka, the leader-goose, was awakened. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka looked at one of the smallest islands and alighted there. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Do you mean to say that it is you who have sent the marten and otter against us?" asked Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "You, Smirre, ought at least to think whether it is right for you, who are weaponed with both teeth and claws, to hound us in this way; we, who are without defence," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Those rogues succeeded in making Akka's head swim. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "It is perhaps not permissible that we have come in here?" said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "If the goosey-gander remains with us, no harm can come to him," Akka assured. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka knew, to be sure, that sheep are always shy and peculiar; but these seemed to have no idea of how they should conduct themselves. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When Akka said this, the old ewe raised herself. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils At last Akka began to comprehend that this was serious. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I think it sounds as if you might have it better than other sheep," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I think it strange, Mother Akka, that you turn me away from your service like this and pay me off before I have given you notice," he said. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Both Akka and the goosey-gander tried to convince Thumbietot that he had been the victim of a dream, or an hallucination, but the boy wouldn't listen to anything of that sort. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka said instantly that there was no time in which to hunt up any of the stopping places in Småland. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka at once straightened out the folds of her wings, and curtsied many times as she approached the stork. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils When Akka replied that she had seen the horrid creatures, he began to tell her about the brave black rats who, for years, had defended the castle. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils It looks exactly like this wherever there are forest-clad ridges," replied Akka, "only one doesn't see many of them. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Both Akka and the boy saw immediately that something was going on here which turned upside down the most regular order. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils But the most provoking thing of all was that he had fallen in with Akka from Kebnekaise. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Tame goose that he was, he had heard about a leader goose, named Akka, who was more than a hundred years old. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils But Akka had evidently made up her mind to help the black rats. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The wild geese had been feeding on the big meadow around Skerup church and were having their noonday rest when Akka came up to the boy. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka understood that he was making fun of her, but she didn't let it bother her. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils A couple of moments later Akka stood in the storks' nest. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Not one of them turned around to look at Akka, or to bid her welcome. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils With that Akka gave the signal to adjourn. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils We are quite near West Vemminghög now," said Akka, "and I thought that perhaps you might like to go home for awhile. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Toward evening when the boy finally raised his head, to speak to Akka, his glance happened to rest on this hedge. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "I can hardly believe that there is anything wrong with your house, Herr Ermenrich," said Akka. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Now you know, Mr. Fox, what happens to the one who dares to come near Akka of Kebnekaise!" they shouted in his ear; and with that they left him in peace. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils He was not particularly afraid to die, but he didn't like the idea of being eaten up, so he asked Akka what he should do to protect himself from the carnivorous animals. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The boy turned half round and cast a glance toward the sea, then faced about and looked straight into Akka's bright eyes. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils He had seen Akka, and all the wild geese, coming toward him in a long row. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Then Akka bade the gentleman owl that he should go and seek the black rats who had gone off, and counsel them to hurry home immediately. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils The lady owl she sent to Flammea, the steeple-owl, who lived in Lund cathedral, with a commission which was so secret that Akka only dared to confide it to her in a whisper. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Now, Akka thought that Smirre Fox was at large in the eastern part of the province; therefore she would not fly in that direction, but turned back, time and again, struggling westward with great difficulty. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "That is something I haven't thought about," said Akka, when she recovered herself. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Away they flew, and Akka and the other wild geese followed them. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils "Do you think I can eat such stuff?" he shrieked, pushing it aside, and trying to strike Akka with his bill. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka stretched her head forward, and gave the eaglet a sharp nip in the neck. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Akka, in turn, loved him as if he had been her own child. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils |
