Acquaintance with Pippi
The new girl was walking along the street with her back to the front. Annika and Tommy asked her why she did it. “So they go to Egypt,” a strange girl told.

She also “put in a puddle” the harmful freken Rosenblum, who distributed gifts, incidentally, boring, the best, as she thought, children. Then Pippi gathered all the offended children and presented each with a large bag of caramel. All but the spiteful freken were pleased. And then Pippi, Tommy and Anika went to the country of Veselia.

How Pippi goes shopping
Once on a clear spring day, when Tommy and Annika had no classes at school, Peppy decided to go shopping. Taking a handful of gold coins, the children went to the main street of the town. Peppi started by buying a hand from the dummy, deciding that a third hand would be very useful to her.
You sit at dinner at the table, in one hand a fork, in the other – a knife, but here you just want to pick your nose or scratch your ear. No, you can not say anything, it’s cleverly invented to have three hands.
Then Pippi devastated the pastry shop and distributed sweets to children who had fled from all over the city. Then came the turn of the toy store – each child received what he had always dreamed of.
A crowd of children flooded the street, loudly trumpeting into toy pipes. A policeman came to the noise and told the children to go home. Those were not against – everyone wanted to tinker with a new toy.

Finally, Pippi went to the pharmacy, where she bought medicines from all diseases, bringing the druggist to white heat. Going out, Peppy decided that it was not practical to keep such small portions of medication in such large bubbles. Without hesitation, she drained everything in one bottle, took a few sips from it and stated: if she does not die, then the mixture is not poisonous, and if it is still poisonous, it will be useful for polishing furniture.
I am sure that this is a very good medicine, because I feel much more cheerful than before. If I were a cat, I would have a high tail, “concluded Peppi.
As a result, Peppy had nothing left but a hand from the dummy and a few lollipops.
How Pippi writes a letter and goes to school
One day Tommy received a letter from his grandmother and told him about Peppy. She also wanted to receive a letter and wrote it herself. The letter was very much mistaken, and the children again began to persuade the girlfriend to go to school. They said that their class would go on a tour of the forest.
Peppy considered it unfair that the tour would pass without her, and the next morning she showed up at the school. She settled herself on a birch tree that grew in front of the school, stating that the classroom air “thickened with learning”, and her head was spinning. Of course, the children were no longer up to mathematics, so the teacher finished the lesson and led everyone into the forest.
How Peppy participates in a school excursion
The day was very fun. The children played in the “monster”, in whose role Pippi appeared. In the evening, everyone went to the house of a girl who lived near the forest, where they were offered a treat. On the way, Pippi stood up for the old horse that the evil farmer was beating with a whip – she threw the farmer several times in the air, and then forced him to carry the heavy bag to the house.
On a visit, Peppi began to shove buns on her cheeks. The teacher said that she must learn how to behave if she wants to become a real lady, and told the girl about the rules of behavior. Pippi wanted to become a real lady, but then her stomach growled. As the lady in the stomach can not rumble, Pippi decided to become a sea robber.
How Pippi Goes to the Fair
On the main square of the town opened an annual fair with a lot of stalls and attractions. Tommy and Annika went to the fair together with Pippi, who dressed up like a real lady – she let her eyebrows in charcoal, smeared red nails and lips and put on a dress up to the heels with a large neckline on her back.
I believe that when you go to the fair, you have to look like a real lady, “she said and went along the path, imitating the… gait of city women of fashion.
At first, Peppy hit her landlady with her meticulousness, then she rolled her friends to the carousel with the horses, and then went to the show booth to watch the performance. The drama liked the girl so much that she jumped on the stage and saved the heroine from the insidious killer.
At the zoo, Peppy decided to take part in the show and hung a huge boa constrictor around her neck, who tried to strangle her, and then rescued the little girl from the tiger who escaped from the cage.
On this adventure Pippi did not end. She had to re-educate a hefty idler who kept the whole town in awe. The idler came to the fair and began to offend the old man-sausage maker. Seeing this, Pippi picked up the big man and a little jocularized it, after which the loafer paid for the spoiled sausage. Residents of the town were delighted with the girl.
How Pippi is Shipwrecked
Tommy and Annika spent the whole day at Pippi’s and even taught her lessons in the kitchen, and the girl told them about her adventures. One day it was about shipwrecks. Tommy remembered that near the town, on the lake, there is an uninhabited island, and Pippi decided to suffer a shipwreck on him.
When Tommy and Annika were released for vacation, and their parents left for a few days, Peppy repaired the old boat, and the friends went to the island in the horse company and Mr. Nilsson.
Sparing Pippi took a tent and food with her. Children have lived on the island a few happy days. They cooked food at the stake, hunted tigers and cannibals, fought with pirates and swam in plenty in the lake.
When it was time to return home, it was found that the boat disappeared. This Peppi decided that they stayed on the island too little for the shipwrecked.
If a person was lucky enough to get on an uninhabited island, then there must be lived for at least seven years.
Pippi threw a bottle in the lake with a letter of help, but she was nailed to the shore of the island. Realizing that no one was going to save them, the girl took out a boat hidden in the bushes and drove her friends home.
How Peppy takes an expensive guest
Once, when Tommy and Annika were sitting on Pippi’s porch and eating strawberries, a man appeared at the gate, who turned out to be the father of Peppy, Captain Ephroim. He really became a Negro king on the island of Veselia, and now he came to take his daughter there.
After greeting Pippi, Efroim began to measure her strength. Although the captain was very strong, Pippi still defeated him. Then Papa changed into a Negro king’s suit and spent the whole evening entertaining children. Despite the reign of the house, Tommy and Annika were sad, because Peppy would soon leave them.
How Pippi suits a farewell feast
Pippi was happy: half a year she will be a Negro princess, and the other half a year – a sea wolf in the schooner of Pope Ephroim, who was already waiting for her in the port.
Seldom do girls suddenly become Negro princesses. Oh, how wonderful I will be, how elegant! In the ears of the ring, and in the nose is also a huge ring.
Before leaving, Pippi decided to arrange a farewell feast and invite him to “everyone who wants to say goodbye to her.” The girl was very fond of, so to say goodbye to her came a whole crowd of children. He came to the feast and the crew of the schooner “Jumping”. The sailors and Dad Efroim entertained the children all evening and played with them.
Pippi decided to spend this night at the Villa “Chicken”, although Dad Efroim called her to the schooner. The girl left Tommi and Annika keys to the house and allowed them to come here, play and take whatever they wanted.
How does Peppy go swimming?
In the morning Peppi mounted her horse, put Mr Nilson on her shoulder, and went to the port, accompanied by Tommy and Annika. On the dock all the inhabitants of the town gathered to say goodbye to Peppy. When the girl carried the horse to the ship, Annika began to cry. Tommy was fastened, but soon his face was also in tears.
Seeing the weeping friends, Peppy decided to stay. She considered it unfair that someone was suffering because of her. Pope Efroim decided that “it is better for a child to lead a settled life,” and promised to come to visit often. Peppy was with him.
For young children, it is absolutely necessary that life goes according to the established order, and most importantly, that they themselves have brought this order.
At parting, the captain handed Peppy another suitcase with gold coins.
Soon Tommy and Annika were returning to Villa “Chicken”, and Pippi told them another incredible story.
