Katri, Girl of the Meadows - Season 1 Episode 13 A Wonderful Present

Another ordinary afternoon of minding the herd in which Aapeli learns the hidden expense behind partaking in free samples becomes the backdrop for the university student Aki Ranta to walk into Katri's life searching for artistic inspiration as he explains about the Kalevala -- a copy of which Helena possesses and Martii seeks to bail himself for Katri's sake; while Helena explains how he has arrived in the countryside only a few days ago with his spouse with whom her mother is good friends, Aki explains Katri his prologue as a university student as he draws one of the cows along with availing Katri herself as a model. Having successfully smuggled out Helena's copy of the Kalevala, Martii arrives on the scene just before Aki decides to search for fresh scenery not realizing that Helena knows where to search for insight about the deviant diagnostic she senses in her room; galvanized by the insight of where Aki's opening line is located, Katri finds that reading the Kalevala makes for quite a literary adventure that is not exactly for the faint of heart; as if to congratulate Katri for successfully reciting Aki's opening line, Helena arrives to retrieve her book in spite of Martii acknowledging culpability for his subterfuge as he entreats clemency of her on Katri's behalf!!! Martii's perseverance with his entreaties for Helena to bail Katri one of her books ultimately unearths that Helena herself shares Martii's very frustration with the Kalevala and cannot accept the fact that Katri has made greater headway with it than she herself has in such a short period of time; in a bid to restore homeostasis, Aki sets course for the pasture where Katri is minding the herd with his copy of the Kalevala.
