Return to Recap: The Smurfs.
The Smurfs are all set for winter when a fire breaks out in the storehouse, leaving them without food. So the Smurfs set out and find a castle in which its sole resident is finding his wealth disappearing.
Tropes associated with this story include
- Autocannibalism: One of the Smurfs wishes that he was still a sausage so that he could eat himself.
- Bindle Stick: The Smurfs each carry one as they travel through the snow.
- Diabolus ex Machina: The fire in the storehouse just happens without any in-story explanation.
- Exposed to the Elements: The Smurfs hardly wear anything heavier than a scarf while walking in the snow.
- Lots of Luggage: Papa Smurf tells his little Smurfs to "take only the bare essentials" with them on their journey. Apparently they interpreted the "essentials" to mean everything that they couldn't live without, as Papa Smurf sees that they're ready to take the whole village with them!
- No Name Given: The lord of the castle isn't given a name.
