Pippi draws a horse

"Pippi had to stop to get her breath. And the teacher, who had now begun to

think that Pippi was an unruly and troublesome child, decided that the class

should have drawing for a while. Surely Pippi could sit still and be quiet and

draw, thought the teacher. She took out paper and pencils and passed them out

to the children.

'Now you may draw whatever you wish,' she said and sat down at her desk

and began to correct homework. In a little while she looked up to see how the

drawing was going. All the children sat looking at Pippi, who lay flat on the

floor, drawing to her heart's content.

'But, Pippi,' said the teacher impatiently, 'why in the world aren't you drawing

on your paper!'

'I filled that long ago. There isn't room enough for my whole horse on that little

snip of a paper,' said Pippi. 'Just now I'm working on his front legs, but when I

get to his tail I guess I'll have to go out in the hall.'"

I have to admit...this is one of the parts that made me want to giggle.
