Moomintroll and Moominmamma are travelling through the great forest in search of a home to curl up in for winter. They are hoping to find missing Moominpappa along the way. They travel through the dark forest, taste everything in the enchanted garden, and set sail on the deep ocean. It begins to rain and there is a great flood--but luckily a friendly stork offers to help fly them to dry land, where they find Moominpappa and the Moominhouse, all ready for a lifetime of happiness!
