Hölmöläisille kasvaa kitkerää suolaa -- Akat uivat ja koukero peto syö ruislaihoa -- Uskottu mies varastaa myllynkiven -- Hölmöläiset löytävät sopimattomasti käyttäytyvän räätälimestarin -- Jauhattajat seikkailevat järvellä -- Hölmöläiset pyydystävät monenkaltaista riistaa -- Hölmölän akat touhuissaan -- Hölmölän miehet lähtevät kaupunkiin -- Hölmöläiset rakentavat käräjätuvan -- Hölmöläiset löytävät jalkansa ja puunoksalla-istuja luulee kuolleensa -- Hiirikoira saa aikaan suuren hämmingin. Tuula Temonen and Tapio Riikonen "Hölmöläiset: Suomen kansan tarinoita Hölmölän väen elämästä ja seikkailuista" compiled by Olli (Väinö Nuorteva) is a collection of folk tales and stories written in the early 20th century. This book presents a tapestry of narratives centered around the whimsical and humorous life of the Hölmölä people, who encounter a series of absurd situations stemming from their unique way of thinking and problem-solving. The stories depict the everyday lives and misadventures of Hölmölä villagers, showcasing their misguided attempts at agriculture, hunting, and community projects. As they grapple with issues such as food scarcity and the confusion of communication, their humorous, yet foolish decisions lead to comical outcomes. For instance, attempts to cultivate salt from their own "salt crops" yield nothing but weeds, and their determination to catch a bear results in a chaotic confrontation. The villagers' folly paints a vibrant and amusing portrait of Hölmölä society, which ultimately ends in a series of mishaps that cause their homes to burn down, leading to their dispersal across the land. Through these interconnected stories, the book offers insight into the quirks of human nature while evoking laughter and reflection.
