How Peppy goes shopping

One day on a clear spring day, when Tommy and Annika had no classes at school, Peppy decided to go shopping. Grabbing a handful of gold coins, the children went out onto the main street of the town. Peppy began by buying a hand from a mannequin, deciding that a third hand would be very useful to her.

You sit at the table during dinner, with a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, and then you just want to poke your nose or scratch your ear. No, you can’t say anything, it’s not stupidly thought of having three hands.

Peppy then emptied the pastry shop and distributed sweets to children who had fled from the whole city. Then came the turn of the toy store - each child received what he always dreamed about.

A crowd of children flooded the street, loudly blowing into toy horns. A policeman came to the noise and told the children to go home. Those were not against it - everyone wanted to tinker freely with a new toy.

In the end, Peppy went to the pharmacy, where she bought medicines for all diseases, while bringing the pharmacist to white heat. Having gone outside, Peppy decided that it was not practical to keep such small portions of medicine in such large vials. Without hesitation, she poured everything into one bottle, took a few sips from there and said: if she does not die, then the mixture is not poisonous, but if it is poisonous, then it will come in handy for polishing furniture.

I am sure that this is a very good craft, because I feel much more cheerful than before. If I were a cat, I would have lifted my tail high, ”Peppy concluded.

In the end, Peppy had nothing left but a hand from a mannequin and several candies.

How Peppy writes a letter and goes to school

One day, Tommy received a letter from his grandmother and told Peppy about him. She also wanted to receive a letter and wrote it herself. There were a lot of mistakes in the letter, and the children again began to persuade a girlfriend to go to school. They said that their class will go on an excursion into the forest.

Peppy considered it unfair that the tour would go without her, and the next morning she appeared at school. She settled on a birch tree, which grew up in front of the school, saying that in the classroom the air was "thickened by learning" and she was dizzy. Of course, the children were no longer interested in mathematics, so the teacher finished the lesson and led everyone to the forest.

How Peppy participates in a school trip

The day was a lot of fun. Children played in the "monster", in the role of Peppy. In the evening, everyone went to the house of a girl who lived near the forest, where they were waiting for refreshments. On the way, Peppy stood up for the old horse, which the evil farmer beat with a whip - she threw the farmer several times in the air, and then forced him to drag a heavy bag to the house.

At a party Peppy began to shove buns on her cheeks. The teacher said that she must learn to behave if she wants to become a real lady, and told the girl about the rules of behavior. Peppy wanted to become a real lady, but then her stomach rumbled. Since the lady in the stomach cannot growl, Peppy decided to become a sea robber.

How Peppy Goes to the Fair

On the main square of the town opened an annual fair with many stalls and attractions. Tommy and Annika went to the fair together with Peppy, who dressed up like a real lady - summed up her eyebrows with charcoal, smeared her nails and lips with red paint and put on a dress to the heels with a large neckline on the back.

“I think that when you go to the fair, you need to look like a real lady,” she said and went along the path, imitating ‹...› the gait of urban fashionistas.

First, Peppy struck the mistress of the shooting gallery with her accuracy, then drove her friends on a carousel with horses, and then went to the booth to watch the performance.The girl liked the drama so much that she jumped onto the stage and saved the heroine from the insidious killer.

In the menagerie, Peppy decided to take part in the performance and hung a huge boa constrictor around her neck, who tried to strangle her, and then rescued the little girl from a tiger bursting out of the cage.

On this adventure Peppy did not end. She had to re-educate a hefty idler who kept the whole town at bay. The loafer came to the fair and began to offend the old sausage-maker. Seeing this, Peppy grabbed a healthy man and a little jangled them, after which the loafer paid for the spoiled sausage. Residents of the town were delighted with the girl.

How Peppy Shipwrecks

Tommy and Annika spent all days with Peppy and even taught lessons in her kitchen, and the girl told them about her adventures. Once it came to shipwrecks. Tommy remembered that near the town, on the lake, there is an uninhabited island, and Peppy decided to shipwreck on it.

When Tommy and Anniku were released for the holidays, and their parents left for a few days, Peppy repaired the old boat, and friends went to the island in the company of the horse and Mr. Nilson.

Thirsty Peppy took a tent and food with her. Children lived on the island for several happy days. They cooked at the stake, hunted tigers and cannibals, fought with pirates and swam in the lake in plenty.

When it was time to return home, it was discovered that the boat had disappeared. It was Peppy who decided that they had been on the island too little for the shipwrecked.

If a person was lucky enough to get to a desert island, then he must live there for at least seven years.

Peppy threw a bottle in the lake with a letter of help, but she was washed 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 Receives a Dear Guest

Once, when Tommy and Annika were sitting on the porch of Peppy and feasting on strawberries, a man appeared at the gate, who turned out to be Peppy's father, captain Efroim. He really became a Negro king on the island of Veselia, and now has come to pick up his daughter there.

Having greeted Peppy, Ephroim began to measure his strength with her. Although the captain was very strong, Peppy still defeated him. Then dad changed into a Negro king's costume and entertained the children all evening. Despite the fun reigning in the house, Tommy and Annika were sad, because Peppy would soon leave them.

How Peppy has a farewell feast

Peppy was happy: for half a year she will be a Negro princess, and for another half a year she will be a sea wolf on Pope Ephroim’s schooner, who was already waiting for her at the port.

Infrequently, girls suddenly become Negro princesses. Oh, how amazing I will be, how smart! There are rings in the ears, and a huge ring in the nose too.

Before leaving, Peppy 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 a whole crowd of children came to say goodbye to her. Appeared at the feast and crew of the schooner "Jumper". Sailors and Papa Efroim entertained children and played with them all evening.

Peppy decided to spend this night in the Chicken Villa, although Papa Efroim called her to the schooner. The girl left Tommy and Annike the keys to the house and allowed her to come here, play and take whatever they want.

How Peppy sets sail

In the morning, Peppy mounted a horse, put Mr. Nilson on her shoulder and went to the port, accompanied by Tommy and Annika. All the inhabitants of the town gathered on the pier to say goodbye to Peppy. When the girl carried the horse onto the ship, Annika began to cry. Tommy was fastening, but soon his face was in tears.

Seeing tearful friends, Peppy decided to stay. She considered it unfair that someone was suffering because of her. Papa Efroim decided that “it’s better for the child to lead a settled life,” and promised to come often to visit. Peppy agreed with him.

For young children, it is absolutely essential that life goes according to the established order, and most importantly, that they themselves establish this order.

In parting, the captain handed Peppy another suitcase with gold coins.

Soon Tommy and Annika were already returning to the Chicken Villa, and Peppy was telling them another incredible story.
