Children play with balls, toys... the song Peppiloty plays, Riding a horse

Hello! I was riding past on my horse and heard children's laughter and cheerful music, and decided to stop by. Can I come to you?

Do you know what my name is? My name is Peppilotta-Victualina-Rogaldina Efroimovna Long Stocking!

Can you repeat it? Let's try! Does not work? Then just Pippi.
Why are you having so much fun? They are all so elegant and beautiful! That's how I ended up on D.R. Dashi!

How old are you?

Today is a special day
Today is our holiday -

Six years have passed since then
How Dasha was born!

Dashenka, I wish you to grow up to be an irresistible, cool, cheerful girl like me!

May you have many toys, good friends and may all your wishes come true!

Guys, let's congratulate Dasha and sing her the song Loaf!

Children line up in a circle and sing loaf! After the loaf, Kalinka’s song is played - Pippi the raspberry shows simple movements, and the guys repeat.

Happy birthday,
What do we wish for Dasha? (everyone takes turns saying wishes)
How old is Dasha now?

Everyone answers: 6
We stomp our feet 6 times, have fun!
And let’s clap our hands 6 times, friends!

Come on Dasha, turn around!
Come on Dasha, take a bow!
And once again we all stomp!
And let's clap our hands again!

Well done boys! And since you have D.R. That means there must be a cake with candles!

Mommy, bring me a delicious cake!

(mom leaves to get the cake but returns with a note)

“Ha-Ha-Ha!!! We took your cake to sell and get a tidy sum of money for it. I hope we didn't spoil your holiday too much?

HA-HA-HA!!! Robbers Bloom and Bruiser!

(Angrily) Oh, these robbers again, well, I’ll give them a hard time! Guys, I know them, They travel around the country and look for what to steal, one fine night they climbed into my house.

They, of course, did not know that Pippi is the strongest girl in the world. I dealt with the thieves in no time, and then made them dance the twist and play the harmonica. But it seems that this lesson did not benefit Bloom and the Brute: they took up the old ways again, they will have to be put in prison.

Guys, let's turn into detectives and get our cake back! What kind of detectives should there be?

Correctly cunning, smart, observant and strong!

Here I am very strong and dexterous. When I want to ride my horse, I carry it in my arms into the garden. And once at the circus I walked on a tightrope and even danced on it in my huge shoes. Can you do the same?

Let's divide into 2 teams: Detectives and Spies!

Walk along a rope (2 jump ropes laid out on the floor) in dad's shoes, holding a horse in your arms.

Fast competitive music plays.

Prize – something for dexterity: _____________________________________

The test is as follows: Throwing! Are real detectives and spies accurate?

And you? We need to throw the cones into the pan!

Next challenge! You will have to blindfoldedly taste the fruits that I will put in your mouth!

And real detectives must be able to catch not only criminals, but also fish!
You know what detectives do in their free time, they stand in a circle and dance!

The song "We'll go left now" is playing.

Peppilotta (Pippi for short) Longstocking proved to girls around the world that the weaker sex is in no way inferior to boys. The Swedish writer endowed her beloved heroine with heroic strength, taught her to shoot a revolver, and made her the main rich woman of the city, who is able to treat all the children with a bag of candy.

Pippi Longstocking

A girl with carrot-colored hair, in multi-colored stockings, boots to grow, and a dress made from scraps of fabric, has a rebellious character - she is not afraid of robbers and representatives of internal organs, spits on the laws of adults and teaches young readers about humanity. Pippi seems to be saying: being yourself is a great luxury and a unique pleasure.

History of creation

The red-haired girl Pippi brought her creator Astrid Lindgren world fame. Although the character appeared completely by accident - in the early 40s, the future literary star, who would later give the world a fat prankster, had a daughter Karin become seriously ill. Before going to bed, Astrid invented various wonderful stories for the child, and one day she received an assignment - to tell about the life of the girl Pippi Longstocking. The daughter herself came up with the heroine’s name, and initially it sounded “Pippi,” but in the Russian translation the dissonant word was changed.


Gradually, evening after evening, Pippi began to acquire individual characteristics, and her life began to be filled with adventures. The Swedish storyteller tried to put into her stories an innovative idea that appeared at that time in terms of raising children. According to the advice of newly minted psychologists, offspring need to be given more freedom and listen to their opinions and feelings. That's why Pippi turned out to be so headstrong, flouting the rules of the adult world.

For several years, Astrid Lindgren wrapped her fantasy in evening fairy tales, until she finally decided to write down the result on paper. The stories, where a couple of other characters settled - the boy Tommy and the girl Annika, turned into a book with illustrations by the author. The manuscript flew to a major publishing house in Stockholm, where, however, it did not find any fans - Pippi Longstocking was mercilessly rejected.


Books about Pippi Longstocking

But the writer was warmly received at Raben and Schergen, publishing her first work in 1945. It was the story “Pippi settles in the Chicken Villa.” The heroine immediately became popular. Following this, two more books and several stories were born, which were bought like hot cakes.

Later, the Danish storyteller admitted that the girl had traits of her character: as a child, Astrid was the same restless inventor. In general, the character’s characterization is a horror story for adults: a 9-year-old child does what he wants, easily copes with formidable men, carries a heavy horse.

Biography and plot

Pippi Longstocking is an unusual lady, just like her biography. Once upon a time, in a small, unremarkable Swedish town, a freckled girl with red, raised braids settled in the old abandoned villa “Chicken”. She lives here without adult supervision in the company of a horse that stands on the veranda and a monkey, Mr. Nilsson. Her mother left the world when Pippi was still a baby, and her father, named Ephraim Longstocking, served as the captain of a ship that was wrecked. The man ended up on an island where the black aborigines called him their leader.


Pippi Longstocking and her monkey Mr. Nilsson

This is the legend the heroine of the Swedish fairy tale tells to her new friends, brother and sister Tommy and Annika Settergren, whom she met upon arriving in the city. Pippi inherited excellent genes from her father. The physical strength is so great that the girl drives out the policemen who came to send the orphan to an orphanage from the house. Leaves an angry bull without horns. A strongman from the circus wins at the fair. And the robbers who broke into her home are thrown onto the closet.

And Pippi Longstocking is incredibly rich, for which she also has to thank her dad. The daughter inherited a chest of gold, which the heroine happily spends. The girl does not go to school; she prefers dangerous and exciting adventures to tedious activities. Moreover, studying is no longer necessary, because Pippi is an expert in the customs of different countries of the world, which she visited with her father.


Pippi Longstocking lifts a Horse

While sleeping, the girl puts her feet on the pillow, rolls out the baking dough right on the floor, and on her birthday she not only accepts gifts, but also gives surprises to guests. Residents of the city watch in amazement as the child moves backwards when walking, because in Egypt that’s the only way they walk.

Tommy and Annika fell in love with their new friend with all their hearts, with whom it is impossible to get bored. Children constantly find themselves in funny troubles and unpleasant situations. In the evenings, together with Pippi, they make their favorite dishes - waffles, baked apples, pancakes. By the way, the red-haired girl makes great pancakes by flipping them right in the air.


Pippi Longstocking, Tommy and Annika

But one day the friends were almost separated by their father who came to pick up Pippi. The man really turned out to be the leader of the tribe of the distant island country of Veselia. And if earlier the neighbors considered the main character to be an inventor and a liar, now they immediately believed in all her fables.

In the last book from the original Lindgren trilogy, the parents sent Tommy and Annika on vacation to Veselia, where the children, in the company of the inimitable Pippi Longstocking, who became a black princess, received a scattering of unforgettable emotions.

Film adaptations

The Swedish-German serial film, which was released in 1969, is considered canonical. The name of the actress became famous throughout the world - Pippi was played believably by Inger Nilsson. The embodied image turned out to be closest to the book’s mischievous girl, and the plot differs little from the original. The film did not find love or recognition in Russia.


Inger Nilsson as Pippi Longstocking

But Soviet audiences fell in love with Pippi, who shone in a two-part musical film directed by Margarita Mikaelyan in 1984. Famous actors were involved in the production: they met on the set (Madam Rosenblum), (the swindler Blom), (Pippi’s father), and Peppilotta is played by Svetlana Stupak. The film was filled with catchy compositions (just look at “The Pirates’ Song”!) and circus tricks, which added to the film’s charm.


Svetlana Stupak as Pippi Longstocking

The role of Pippi for Svetlana Stupak was the first and last in the cinema. At first, the girl did not pass the casting: the director rejected her for her blonde hair and adult appearance - Sveta did not look like a 9-year-old child. But the young actress got a second chance. The girl was asked to imagine herself as the daughter of the leader of a black tribe, to show spontaneity and enthusiasm.


Tami Erin as Pippi Longstocking

Stupak coped with the task, demonstrating to the cinema bison a stunning trick that did not require the participation of doubles. The authors of the film decided to film her, which they later regretted: Sveta’s character turned out to be even worse than the main character of the fairy tale. The director either grabbed the validol or wanted to pick up the belt.

In 1988, the red-haired beast reappeared on television screens. This time, the USA and Sweden teamed up to create the film “The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking”. Tami Erin appeared in the cinema for the first time.

The Canadian series, released at the end of the last century, became a striking animated film. Pippi's voice was provided by Melissa Altro. The directors did not allow themselves any liberties and followed the literary template carefully created by the Swedish storyteller.

  • Inger Nilsson's acting career didn't work out either - the woman worked as a secretary.
  • In Sweden, on the island of Djurgården, a museum of fairy-tale heroes by Astrid Lindgren was built. Here you can visit Pippi Longstocking's house, where you can run, jump, climb and ride a horse named Horse.

  • The theater stage cannot do without such a bright character. During the 2018 New Year holidays, at the capital’s Cherry Orchard theater center, children are invited to the play “Pippi Longstocking,” staged in the best Vakhtangov traditions. Director Vera Annenkova promises deep content and circus entertainment.

Quotes

“My mom is an angel, and my dad is a black king. Not every child has such noble parents.”
“Grown-ups never have fun. They always have a lot of boring work, stupid dresses and cuminal taxes. And they are also stuffed with prejudices and all sorts of nonsense. They think that a terrible misfortune will happen if you put a knife in your mouth while eating, and so on.”
“Who said you have to become an adult?”
“When the heart is hot and beating strongly, it is impossible to freeze.”
“A real well-mannered lady picks her nose when no one is looking!”

One day Tommy and Annika received a letter, they took it out of the mailbox on the door of their house.

On the envelope was:

"Tmmy and Anke"

And when they opened the envelope, they found in it a piece of cardboard on which uneven letters were carefully written:

"Tmmy and Anke"

Tmi and Anka should come to Pippi for a birthday feast tomorrow after lunch

Any clothes

Tommy and Annika were so happy that they started jumping and spinning around the room. They understood perfectly well what was written there, although the letter looked somewhat strange. It was very difficult for Pippi to write this invitation. For example, she didn’t know exactly how to spell the letter “I.” But one way or another, she was still able to write what she wanted. In those years when she was still sailing the seas, one of the sailors tried to teach Pippi to write in the evenings, but Pippi was never a particularly diligent student.

No, Fridolf (that was the name of that sailor), I’d rather climb up the mast and see what the weather will be like tomorrow,” she usually said, “or I’ll go and play with the ship’s cat.”

She sat up all night writing an invitation letter. And when it began to get light and the last stars went out, Pippi put the envelope in the box on the door.

As soon as Tommy and Annika returned from school, they began to prepare for the holiday. Annika asked her mother to comb her hair better. Mom curled her hair and tied a huge pink silk bow. Tommy carefully combed his hair into a parting and even moistened it with water so that it would not curl - unlike his sister, he could not stand any curls. Annika wanted to wear her most elegant dress, but her mother did not allow her, saying that they always come back from Pippi, so dirty. So Annika had to be content with her almost most elegant dress. As for Tommy, he didn't care what he wore, as long as his shirt was clean.

Of course, they bought Pippi a gift, emptying their piggy bank for this. Returning from school, they went into a toy store and bought... However, this is still a secret. While the gift lay wrapped in green paper and tied with a cord. When the children were ready, Tommy took the gift and they went to visit. And their mother shouted after them from the doorway to take care of their suits. Annika also wanted to bring a little gift. So they walked, passing the green bundle from hand to hand, until they both decided to carry it.

It was November and it got dark early. Before opening the gate of Peppa's garden, Tommy and Annika held hands, because it was already dark in the garden, and the old black trees rustled menacingly with their last, still unfallen leaves.

“Careful,” Tommy said at every step.

But it was all the more pleasant to see the bright light in the windows ahead and know that you were going to a birthday party.

Usually Tommy and Annika entered the house through the back door, but today they decided to enter from the front door. There was no horse on the terrace. Tommy knocked. A dull voice answered:

Did this ghost come to my feast?

No, Pippi, it’s us,” Tommy shouted, “open up!”

And Pippi opened the door.

Oh Pippi, why are you talking about ghosts? “I was so scared,” Annika said, and out of fear she even forgot to congratulate Pippi.

Pippi laughed and opened the doors. Oh, how good it was to get into a bright and warm kitchen! The feast was supposed to take place here. After all, in Peppa’s house there were only two rooms: a living room, but there was only one chest of drawers, and a bedroom. And the kitchen was large, spacious, and Pippi cleaned it so well and arranged everything there so funny. There was a carpet on the floor, and on the table there was a new tablecloth that Pippi had embroidered herself. True, the flowers she depicted looked very strange, but Pippi assured that these were the kind that grew in Indonesia. The curtains on the windows were drawn, and the stove was red hot. Mr. Nilsson was sitting on the cabinet and banging pan lids. And in the farthest corner stood a horse.

Then, finally, Tommy and Annika remembered that they needed to congratulate Pippi. Tommy shuffled his foot and Annika curtsied. They handed Pippi a green package and said:

Happy Birthday to You!

Pippi grabbed the package and frantically unwrapped it. There was a large music box there. Out of joy and happiness, Pippi hugged Tommy, then Annika, then the music box, then green wrapping paper. Then she began to turn the handle - with jingling and whistling, a melody poured out: “Ah, my dear Augustine, Augustine, Augustine...”

And Pippi, in ecstasy, kept turning and turning the handle of the music box and seemed to have forgotten about everything in the world...

Suddenly she realized:

Yes, dear friends, now you too should receive your gifts.

“Today is not our birthday,” the children said.

Pippi looked at them in surprise and said:

But today is my birthday. Can't I give myself the pleasure of giving you gifts? Maybe your textbooks say that this is prohibited? Maybe, according to this very table of respect, it turns out that this cannot be done?..

No, of course, you can, although this is not accepted... But as for me, I will be very glad to receive a gift.

And me too! - Annika exclaimed.

Then Pippi brought two packages from the living room, which she had prepared in advance and placed on the chest of drawers until the time came. Tommy unwrapped his package - there was an ivory pipe. And Annika received a beautiful brooch in the shape of a butterfly, the wings of which were strewn with red, blue and green shiny stones.

Now that everyone has received their birthday gifts, it is time to feast. The table was laden with dishes of buns and cookies of the most bizarre shapes. Pippi insisted that these are the cookies they bake in China. She brought chocolate with whipped cream, and everyone wanted to sit down at the table, but Tommy said:

When we have a dinner party at our house, the men lead the ladies to the table. Let it be like this for us too.

No sooner said than done! - Pippi exclaimed.

But we won’t be able to do this, because I’m the only man here,” Tommy said sadly.

Nonsense! - Pippi interrupted him. - What, Mr. Nilsson is a young lady, or what?

Oh, really! “And I forgot about Mr. Nilson,” Tommy was delighted and, sitting down on a stool, wrote on a piece of paper:

“Mr. Settergren has the pleasure of inviting Miss Longstocking to the table.”

Mr. Settergren - it's me! - Tommy explained importantly. And he conveyed his invitation to Pippi.

Then he took another quarter of paper and wrote:

“Mr. Nilsson has the pleasure of inviting Miss Settergren to the table.”

“Fine,” said Pippi, “but the horse also needs to write an invitation, although she will not sit at the table.”

And Tommy dictated an invitation for the horse to Peppin.

“The horse has the pleasure of standing quietly in the corner and chewing biscuits and sugar.”

Pippi put the piece of paper under the horse's muzzle and said:

Read it and tell me what you think about it.

Since the horse had no objections, Tommy offered Pippi his hand and led her to the table. But Mr. Nilsson clearly did not have the slightest desire to offer his hand to Annika. So Annika herself took him in her hand and carried him to the table. The monkey sat right on the table. She didn’t want chocolate with whipped cream, but when Pippi poured water into the mug, Mr. Nilsson grabbed it with both hands and began to drink.

Annika, Tommy and Pippi drank and ate as much as they wanted, and Annika said that when she grows up, she will definitely go to China, since they bake such delicious cookies there. When Mr. Nilsson drank all the water, he put the mug on his head. Pippi immediately followed his example, but since she did not have time to drink her chocolate from the bottom, a brown stream flowed down her forehead and nose. But Pippi stuck out her tongue in time and caught the droplets.

As you can see, everything can be fixed,” she said.

Taught by her example, Tommy and Annika carefully licked their cups before placing them on their heads.

When all the guests, including the horse, had drunk and eaten, Pippi, with a quick, deft movement, grabbed the tablecloth by the four ends and lifted it. Dishes and saucers, cups and spoons seemed to be in a bag. She put all this right in the closet.

“I don’t want to clean anything today,” she explained.

And now it's time to have fun. Pippi suggested a game called "Don't step on the floor." It's very simple to play: you have to run around the kitchen without ever touching the floor with your foot. Whoever runs first wins. Pippi completed this task in no time, but for Tommy and Annika it turned out to be much more difficult. You had to spread your legs very wide, move stools and build real bridges to get from the stove to the cabinet, from the cabinet to the sink and from there to the table, and then, stepping over two chairs, jump to the corner shelf. There was a distance of several meters between this shelf and the bench, but, fortunately, there was a horse standing there, and if you managed to climb onto it and crawl from tail to head, then you could, with skill, jump onto the bench.

So they played until Annika's almost the most elegant dress turned into far, far, far from the most elegant, and Tommy became black as a chimney sweep. The children decided it was time to change the game.

“Let’s go up to the attic and call a ghost,” Pippi suggested.

Annika even lost her breath with fear:

Ra-ra-is it there?

“Of course,” answered Pippi. - And more than one. It's simply teeming with all sorts of spirits and ghosts. You come across them at every step. Let's go there?

ABOUT! - Annika exclaimed and looked at Pippi reproachfully.

Mom said that spirits and ghosts don’t exist at all,” Tommy said with feigned cheerfulness.

“Perhaps,” Pippi answered. - Perhaps they are not anywhere, because they all live in my attic... and asking them to get out of here is useless... But they are not dangerous, they only pinch so terribly that they leave bruises. And they also fight and play bowls with their heads.

And-i-g-ra-a-a-ly in their ho-o-va-a-mi? - Annika whispered.

Well, yes,” Pippi confirmed. - Well, let's hurry up, let's get up and talk to them... I'm good at bowling.

Tommy didn’t want to show that he was a coward, and how great it would be to see at least one ghost with his own eyes, and then tell the kids at school about it. He reassured himself that in the presence of Pippi the ghosts would not dare to attack, and agreed to go to the attic. Poor Annika didn’t even want to hear about going upstairs at first. But then it occurred to her that if she stayed in the kitchen, some seedy ghost might sneak towards her. And she made up her mind. It’s better to be with Pippi and Tommy surrounded by a thousand ghosts than face to face with one, even the most boring one.

Pippi walked ahead, she opened the door leading to the attic staircase. It was pitch dark there. Tommy frantically grabbed onto Pippi, and Annika even more frantically grabbed onto Tommy. Each step creaked and groaned under their feet, and Tommy was already wondering whether to turn back. As for Annika, she was sure of it.

But then the stairs ended, and they found themselves in the attic.

It was no longer so dark here; the moonlight, penetrating through the dormer window, lay in a strip on the floor. With every breath of wind, something sighed and hooted in all corners.

Hey ghosts, where are you! - Pippi shouted. Whether they were there or not is unknown, but, in any case, not one of them responded.

Apparently, they are not at home now,” Pippi explained. - They probably went to a meeting at the Union of Spirits and Ghosts.

Annika let out a sigh of relief. “Oh, if only this meeting could last longer!” - she thought.

But just at that moment some suspicious noise was heard in one of the corners of the attic:

Klu-yu-i-id!

And Tommy saw something fly towards him, how something touched his forehead and disappeared into the dormer window.

Ghost, ghost! - he shouted in horror.

Poor thing, it's late for the meeting. True, if it’s a ghost and not an owl,” said Pippi. “And in general, guys, know that there are no ghosts,” she added after a pause, “and I will punch anyone in the nose who says that they exist.”

Why, you said it yourself! - Annika exclaimed.

“I did,” Pippi agreed. - So, you'll have to punch yourself in the nose.

And she gave herself a huge punch on the nose. After this, Tommy and Annika felt somehow lighter in their souls. They became so bold that they decided to look into the garden. Large black clouds quickly ran across the sky, as if to prevent the moon from shining. And the trees creaked in the wind. Tommy and Annika moved away from the window and... oh horror! They saw some white figure moving towards them.

Annika was so scared that she simply lost her voice. And the white figure came closer and closer. The children hugged each other and closed their eyes, but then the ghost spoke:

Look what I found here in an old sailor's chest: my father's nightgown. If you hem it on all sides, I can wear it,” and Pippi came up to them with her shirt dragging on the ground.

“Oh, Pippi, I could have died of fright,” Annika said with a trembling voice.

No big deal, nightgowns are not dangerous! - Pippi reassured her. - They only bite when they are attacked.

And Pippi decided to rummage through the chest properly. She moved it to the window and opened the lattice shutter. Pale moonlight flooded the chest, which contained a whole bunch of old clothes. Pippi laid it on the floor. In addition, she found there a telescope, two pages of a book, three pistols, a sword and a bag of gold coins.

Ti-de-li-pom! P-de-li-day! - Pippi exclaimed joyfully.

How interesting! - Tommy whispered.

Pippi wrapped all her treasures in her father's nightgown, and the children went down to the kitchen again. Annika couldn't wait to get out of the attic.

“Never allow children to play with firearms,” said Pippi and took a pistol in each hand. “Otherwise an accident could happen,” she added and pulled the triggers.

Two shots rang out.

They hit great! - she exclaimed and looked up.

There were two holes in the ceiling.

“Who knows,” she said thoughtfully. “Perhaps these bullets pierced the ceiling and hit the heels of some spirit.” Perhaps this will teach him a lesson and make him sit still next time and not scare innocent little children. Since spirits don’t exist, why do they scare people?.. Would you like me to give you a pistol?

Tommy was delighted with the offer, and Annika didn't mind having a gun, as long as it wasn't loaded.

Now we can, if we want, organize a band of robbers,” said Pippi and raised a spyglass to her eyes. - Oh-ho-ho! - she screamed. - This is a pipe! I can see a flea in South America! If we have a gang, the pipe will be useful to us.

Then there was a knock on the door. It was Tommy and Annika's dad who came.

It’s long past bedtime,” he said.

Tommy and Annika thanked Pippi, said goodbye to her and left, taking away their treasures - a pipe, a brooch and pistols.

Pippi escorted her guests to the terrace and looked after them until they disappeared into the darkness of the garden. Tommy and Annika looked back every now and then and waved at her. Pippi stood, illuminated by the moonlight, a red-haired girl with tight pigtails sticking out in different directions, wearing her father’s huge nightgown, dragging on the floor. She held a pistol in one hand and a telescope in the other.

When Tommy, Annika and their dad reached the gate, they heard Pippi shouting something after them. They stopped and began to listen. The wind hummed in the tree branches, but they made out the words:

When I grow up big, I will be a sea robber... What about you?

One day Tommy and Annika received a letter, they took it out of the mailbox on the door of their house.

On the envelope was:

"TMMI and ANKE"

And when they opened the envelope, they found in it a piece of cardboard on which uneven letters were carefully written:

She sat up all night writing an invitation letter. And when it began to get light and the last stars went out, Pippi put the envelope in the box on the door.

As soon as Tommy and Annika returned from school, they began to prepare for the holiday. Annika asked her mother to comb her hair better. Mom curled her hair and tied a huge pink silk bow. Tommy carefully combed his hair into a parting and even moistened it with water so that it would not frizz - unlike his sister, he hated any curls. Annika wanted to wear her most elegant dress, but her mother did not allow her, saying that they always come back from Pippi, so dirty. So Annika had to be content with her almost most elegant dress. As for Tommy, he didn't care what he wore, as long as his shirt was clean.

Of course, they bought Pippi a gift, emptying their piggy bank for this. Returning from school, they went into a toy store and bought... However, this is still a secret. While the gift lay wrapped in green paper and tied with a cord. When the children were ready, Tommy took the gift and they went to visit. And their mother shouted after them from the doorway to take care of their suits. Annika also wanted to bring a little gift. So they walked, passing the green bundle from hand to hand, until they both decided to carry it.

It was November and it got dark early. Before opening the gate of Peppa's garden, Tommy and Annika held hands, because it was already dark in the garden and the old black trees rustled menacingly with their last, still unfallen leaves.

“Careful,” Tommy said at every step.

But it was all the more pleasant to see the bright light in the windows ahead and know that you were going to a birthday party.

Usually Tommy and Annika entered the house through the back door, but today they decided to enter from the front door. There was no horse on the terrace. Tommy knocked. A dull voice answered:

– Did this ghost come to my feast?

“No, Pippi, it’s us,” Tommy shouted, “open up!”

And Pippi opened the door.

- Oh Pippi, why are you talking about ghosts? “I was so scared,” Annika said, and out of fear she even forgot to congratulate Pippi.

Pippi laughed and opened the doors. Oh, how good it was to get into a bright and warm kitchen! The feast was supposed to take place here. After all, in Peppa’s house there were only two rooms: a living room, but there was only one chest of drawers, and a bedroom. And the kitchen was large, spacious, and Pippi cleaned it so well and arranged everything there so funny. There was a carpet on the floor, and on the table there was a new tablecloth that Pippi had embroidered herself. True, the flowers she depicted looked very strange, but Pippi assured that these were the kind that grew in Indonesia. The curtains on the windows were drawn, and the stove was red hot. Mr. Nilsson was sitting on the cabinet and banging pan lids. And in the farthest corner stood a horse.

Then, finally, Tommy and Annika remembered that they needed to congratulate Pippi. Tommy shuffled his foot and Annika curtsied. They handed Pippi a green package and said:

- Happy Birthday to You!

Pippi grabbed the package and frantically unwrapped it. There was a large music box there. Out of joy and happiness, Pippi hugged Tommy, then Annika, then the music box, then green wrapping paper. Then she began to turn the handle - with a jingling and whistling melody poured out: “Ah, my dear Augustine, Augustine, Augustine...”

And Pippi, in ecstasy, kept turning and turning the handle of the music box and seemed to have forgotten about everything in the world...

Suddenly she realized:

- Yes, dear friends, now you too should receive your gifts.

“It’s not our birthday today,” the children said.

Pippi looked at them in surprise and said:

- But today is my birthday. Can't I give myself the pleasure of giving you gifts? Maybe your textbooks say that this is prohibited? Maybe, according to this very table of respect, it turns out that this cannot be done?..

- No, of course, you can, although this is not accepted... But as for me, I will be very glad to receive a gift.

- And me too! – Annika exclaimed. Then Pippi brought two packages from the living room, which she had prepared in advance and placed on the chest of drawers until the time came. Tommy unwrapped his package - there was an ivory pipe. And Annika received a beautiful brooch in the shape of a butterfly, the wings of which were strewn with red, blue and green shiny stones.

Now that everyone has received their birthday gifts, it is time to feast. The table was laden with dishes of buns and cookies of the most bizarre shapes. Pippi insisted that these are the cookies they bake in China. She brought chocolate with whipped cream, and everyone wanted to sit down at the table, but Tommy said:

“When we have a dinner party at our house, the men lead the ladies to the table. Let it be like this for us too.

- No sooner said than done! - Pippi exclaimed.

“But we won’t be able to do this, because I’m the only man here,” Tommy said sadly.

- Nonsense! – Pippi interrupted him. - What, Mr. Nilsson is a young lady, or what?

- Oh, really! “And I forgot about Mr. Nilsson,” Tommy was delighted and, sitting down on a stool, wrote on a piece of paper:

“Mr. Settergren has the pleasure of inviting Miss Longstocking to the table.”

– Mr. Settergren – it’s me! – Tommy explained importantly. And he conveyed his invitation to Pippi.

Then he took another quarter of paper and wrote:

“Mr. Nilsson has the pleasure of inviting Miss Settergren to the table.”

“Fine,” said Pippi, “but the horse also needs to write an invitation, although she will not sit at the table.”

And Tommy dictated an invitation for the horse to Peppin.

“The horse has the pleasure of standing quietly in the corner and chewing biscuits and sugar.”

Pippi put the piece of paper under the horse's muzzle and said:

“Here, read it and tell me what you think about it.”

Since the horse had no objections, Tommy offered Pippi his hand and led her to the table. But Mr. Nilsson clearly did not have the slightest desire to offer his hand to Annika. So Annika herself took him in her hand and carried him to the table. The monkey sat right on the table. She didn’t want chocolate with whipped cream, but when Pippi poured water into the mug, Mr. Nilsson grabbed it with both hands and began to drink.

Annika, Tommy and Pippi drank and ate as much as they wanted, and Annika said that when she grows up, she will definitely go to China, since they bake such delicious cookies there. When Mr. Nilsson drank all the water, he put the mug on his head. Pippi immediately followed his example, but since she did not have time to drink her chocolate from the bottom, a brown stream flowed down her forehead and nose. But Pippi stuck out her tongue in time and caught the droplets.

“As you can see, everything can be fixed,” she said.

Taught by her example, Tommy and Annika carefully licked their cups before placing them on their heads.

When all the guests, including the horse, had drunk and eaten, Pippi, with a quick, deft movement, grabbed the tablecloth by the four ends and lifted it. Dishes and saucers, cups and spoons seemed to be in a bag. She put all this right in the closet.

“I don’t want to clean anything today,” she explained.

And now it's time to have fun. Pippi suggested a game called "Don't step on the floor." It's very simple to play: you have to run around the kitchen without ever touching the floor with your foot. Whoever runs first wins. Pippi completed this task in no time, but for Tommy and Annika it turned out to be much more difficult. You had to spread your legs very wide, move stools and build real bridges to get from the stove to the cabinet, from the cabinet to the sink and from there to the table, and then, stepping over two chairs, jump to the corner shelf. There was a distance of several meters between this shelf and the bench, but, fortunately, there was a horse standing there, and if you managed to climb onto it and crawl from tail to head, then you could, with skill, jump onto the bench.

So they played until Annika's almost the most elegant dress turned into far, far, far from the most elegant, and Tommy became black as a chimney sweep. The children decided it was time to change the game.

“Let's go up to the attic and call a ghost,” Pippi suggested.

Annika even lost her breath with fear:

- Ra-ra-is it there?

“Of course,” answered Pippi. - And more than one. It's simply teeming with different spirits and ghosts, you stumble upon them at every step. Let's go there?

- ABOUT! – Annika exclaimed and looked at Pippi reproachfully.

“Mom said that spirits and ghosts don’t exist at all,” Tommy said with feigned cheerfulness.

“Perhaps,” Pippi answered. - Perhaps they are not anywhere, because they all live in my attic... and asking them to get out of here is useless... But they are not dangerous, they only pinch so terribly that they leave bruises. And they also fight and play bowls with their heads.

“A-i-g-ra-a-a-ly in their ho-o-va-a-mi?” – Annika whispered.

“Well, yes,” Pippi confirmed. - Well, let's hurry up, let's get up and talk to them... I'm good at bowling.

Tommy didn’t want to show that he was a coward, and how great it would be to see at least one ghost with his own eyes, and then tell the kids at school about it. He reassured himself that in the presence of Pippi the ghosts would not dare to attack, and agreed to go to the attic. Poor Annika didn’t even want to hear about going upstairs at first. But then it occurred to her that if she stayed in the kitchen, some seedy ghost might sneak towards her. And she made up her mind. It’s better to be with Pippi and Tommy surrounded by a thousand ghosts than face to face with one, even the most boring one.

Pippi walked ahead, she opened the door leading to the attic staircase. It was pitch dark there. Tommy frantically grabbed onto Pippi, and Annika even more frantically grabbed onto Tommy. Each step creaked and groaned under their feet, and Tommy was already wondering whether to turn back. As for Annika, she was sure of it.

But then the stairs ended, and they found themselves in the attic.

It was no longer so dark here; the moonlight, penetrating through the dormer window, lay in a strip on the floor. With every breath of wind, something sighed and hooted in all corners.

- Hey, ghosts, where are you! - Pippi shouted. Whether they were there or not is unknown, but, in any case, not one of them responded.

“Apparently they are not at home now,” Pippi explained. “They probably went to a meeting at the Union of Spirits and Ghosts.”

Annika let out a sigh of relief. “Oh, if only this meeting could last longer!” - she thought.

But just at that moment some suspicious noise was heard in one of the corners of the attic:

- Klu-yu-i-id!

And Tommy saw something fly towards him, how something touched his forehead and disappeared into the dormer window.

- Ghost, ghost! – he shouted in horror.

“Poor thing, it’s late for the meeting.” True, if it’s a ghost and not an owl,” said Pippi. “And in general, guys, know that there are no ghosts,” she added after a pause, “and I will punch anyone in the nose who says that they exist.”

- But you said it yourself! – Annika exclaimed.

“I told you,” Pippi agreed. “So you’ll have to punch yourself in the nose.”

And she gave herself a huge punch on the nose. After this, Tommy and Annika felt somehow lighter in their souls. They became so bold that they decided to look into the garden. Large black clouds quickly ran across the sky, as if to prevent the moon from shining. And the trees creaked in the wind. Tommy and Annika moved away from the window and... oh horror! They saw some white figure moving towards them.

Annika was so scared that she simply lost her voice. And the white figure came closer and closer. The children hugged each other and closed their eyes, but then the ghost spoke:

– Look what I found here in an old sailor’s chest: my father’s nightgown. If you hem it on all sides, I can wear it,” and Pippi came up to them with her shirt dragging on the ground.

“Oh, Pippi, I could have died of fright,” Annika said with a trembling voice.

- No big deal, nightgowns are not dangerous! – Pippi reassured her. “They only bite when they are attacked.”

And Pippi decided to rummage through the chest properly. She moved it to the window and opened the lattice shutter. Pale moonlight flooded the chest, which contained a whole bunch of old clothes. Pippi laid it on the floor. In addition, she found there a telescope, two pages of a book, three pistols, a sword and a bag of gold coins.

- Ti-de-li-pom! P-de-li-day! – Pippi exclaimed joyfully.

- How interesting! – Tommy whispered. Pippi wrapped all her treasures in her father's nightgown, and the children went down to the kitchen again. Annika couldn't wait to get out of the attic.

“Never allow children to play with firearms,” said Pippi and took a pistol in each hand. “Otherwise an accident could happen,” she added and pulled the triggers.

Two shots rang out.

- They hit hard! – she exclaimed and looked up.

There were two holes in the ceiling.

“Who knows,” she said thoughtfully. “Perhaps these bullets pierced the ceiling and hit the heels of some spirit.” Perhaps this will teach him a lesson and make him sit still next time and not scare innocent little children. Since spirits don’t exist, why do they scare people?.. Would you like me to give you a pistol?

Tommy was delighted with the offer, and Annika didn't mind having a gun, as long as it wasn't loaded.

“Now we can, if we want, organize a band of robbers,” said Pippi and raised a spyglass to her eyes. - Oh-ho-ho! - she screamed. - This is a pipe! I can see a flea in South America! If we have a gang, the pipe will be useful to us.

Then there was a knock on the door. It was Tommy and Annika's dad who came.

“It’s high time to go to bed,” he said.

Tommy and Annika thanked Pippi, said goodbye to her and left, taking away their treasures - a pipe, a brooch and pistols.

Pippi escorted her guests to the terrace and looked after them until they disappeared into the darkness of the garden. Tommy and Annika looked back every now and then and waved at her. Pippi stood, illuminated by the moonlight, a red-haired girl with tight pigtails sticking out in different directions, in her father’s huge nightgown, dragging on the floor. She held a pistol in one hand and a telescope in the other.

When Tommy, Annika and their dad reached the gate, they heard Pippi shouting something after them. They stopped and began to listen. The wind hummed in the tree branches, but they made out the words:

- When I grow up big, I will be a sea robber... And you?
