Karchevskaya AT. AT.

Scene 1

(An old overgrown garden with an old house, a fence, a sign which reads “Villa Villekula”)

(Pippi walks along the street with one foot on the sidewalk and the other in the gutter. Tommy and Annika watch

her. When she reaches Tommy's and Annika's gate she stops. The children look at each other in silence.)

Tommy: "Why are you walking backward?"

Pippi: "Why am I walking backward?" "Isn"t this a free country? Can "t a person walk any way she wants to? For that matter, let me tell you that in Egypt everybody walks that way, and nobody thinks it"s the least bit strange."

Tommy: "How do you know? You"ve never been in Egypt, have you?"

Pippi:"I"ve never been to Egypt? Indeed I have. That "s one thing you can be sure of. I have been all over the world and seen many things stranger than people walking backward. I wonder what you would have said if I had come along walking on my hands the way they do in Farthest India."

Tommy: "Now you must be lying

Pippi:(thought a moment) "You"re right, I am lying."

Annika: "It"s wicked to lie"(who had at the last gathered up enough courage to speak)

Pippi: "Yes, it"s very wicked to lie," (sadly) "But I forget it now and then. And how can you expect a little child whose mother is an angel and whose father is king of a cannibal island and who herself has sailed on the ocean all her life how can you expect her to tell the truth always? And for that matter let me tell you that in the Congo there is not a single person who tells the truth. They lie all day long. Begin at seven in the morning and keep on until sundown. So if I should happen to lie now and then, you must try to excuse me and to remember that it is only because I stayed in the Congo a little too long. We can be friends anyway, can "t we?"

Tommy: Oh sure

Annika: "Do you live here all alone?"

Pippi: "Of course not! Mr. Nilsson and the horse live here too."

Annika:"Yes, but I mean don"t you have any mother or father here?"

Pippi: "No, not the least little tiny bit of a one" (happily)

Annika: "But who tells you when to go to bed at night and things like that?"

Pippi: "I tell myself. First I tell myself in a nice friendly way; and then, if I don"t mind, I tell myself again more

sharply; and if I still don"t mind, then I"m in for a spanking see?"

Tommy: "I don't see at all!"

Pippi: "By the way, why couldn't you come and have breakfast with me?"

Tommy: "Why not? Come on, let's go."

Annika: "Oh, yes, let's"

(Tommy tries to lift the suitcase but he can't)

Pippi: Oh, don't even try. Nobody can lift this suitcase except me because Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmind Ephraim’s Daughter Longstockingis the strongest girl in the world.”

Tommy: “But what do you have in this suitcase?”

Pippi: “The biggest treasure in the world” (and they leave)

Scene 2

(One dark autumn evening two tramps came walking down the road past Villa Villekulla. They were two bad thieves

wandering about the country to see what they could steal. They saw that there was a light in the windows of Villa

Villekulla and decided to go in to ask for a sandwich. Pippi was counting all her gold pieces sitting on

the floor.)

Pipppi: ". . . sixty-five, sixty-six, sixty-seven, sixty-eight, sixty-nine, sixty-ten, sixty-eleven, sixty-twelve, sixty-thirteen, sixty-sixteen whew, it makes my throat feel like sixty! Goodness, there must be some more numbers in the arithmetic oh, yes, now I remember one hundred four, one thousand. That certainly is a lot of money."

(There was a loud knock on the door.)

Pippi: "Walk in or stay out, whichever you choose! I never force anyone against his will."

(The door opened and the two tramps came in.)

Tramp 1: "Are you all alone at home?"

Pippi: "Of course not. Mr. Nilsson is at home too."

Tram: "We can come back a little later. We just came in to ask what your clock is."(very excited)

Pippi: "Great, strong men who don't know what a clock is." Where in the world were you brought up? The clock

is a little round thing that says "tick tack, tick tack and that goes and goes but never gets to the door. Do you

know any more riddles?

(The tramps went out without another word and Pippi went back to her counting. No sooner were the tramps outside than they began to rub their hands with delight.)

Tramp 1: "Did you see all that money? Heavenly day!"

Tramp 2: "Yes, once in a while luck is with us. All we need to do is wait until the kid and that Nilsson are asleep."

(They sat down under an oak tree in the garden to wait.)

Don't worry, be happy

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we ​​have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Look at me I'm happy
Don't worry, be happy

(At last, however, the lights went out in the windows of Villa Villekulla too. They crept quietly up to the kitchen door and prepared to open it with their burglar tools. But they found out that the door was not locked!)

Tramp 1: "Well, some people are smart. The door is open!"

Tramp 2: "So much the better for us."

(He turned on his pocket flashlight)

Tramp 1: "That the girl must be sleeping soundly. But where in the world is Nilsson, do you suppose?"

Pippi: "Mr. Nilsson, if you please is in the little green doll bed."

(The tramps were so startled that they almost rushed out at once but when they saw a monkey they couldn't help laughing.)

Tramp 1: "Bloom, Mr. Nilsson is a monkey. Can you beat that?" (laugh)

Tramp 2: "Aren"t your mother and father at home?"

Pippi: "No. "They"re gone. Completely gone."

Thunder-Karlsson and Bloom chuckled with delight.

Tramp 1: "Listen, little girl, come out so we can talk to you."

Pippi: No, I'm sleeping. Is it more riddles you want? If so, answer this one. What is it that goes and goes and

never gets to the door? Can you dance the schottische? I can."

Tramp 2: "You ask too many questions. Can we ask a few too? Where, for instance, is the money you had on the floor a little while ago?"

Pippi: "In the suitcase over there."

Tramp 1: "I hope you don"t have anything against our taking it, little friend."

Pippi: "Certainly not. Of course I don't."

Whereupon Bloom lifted down the suitcase.

Pippi: "I hope you don"t have anything against my taking it back, little friend”

(suddenly the suitcase was in Pippi's hand)

Tpamp 2: "Here, quit your fooling(angrily.) "Hand over the suitcase."

(He took Pippi firmly by the hand and tried to snatch back the booty.)

Pippi: "Fooling, fooling, too much fooling," (she lifted

Thunder-Karlsson up on the wardrobe. A moment later she had Bloom up there too. Then the tramps were frightened)

Pippi: I'm Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmind Ephraim's Daughter Longstockingand I'm the strongest girl in the world” (song)

(The tramps fled and Pippi shouted with disappointment “Where are you? Here is some gold for you!”)

Scene 3

(Of course Tommy and Annika went to school. Each morning at eight o "clock they trotted off, hand in hand, swinging their schoolbags. At that time Pippi was usually grooming her horse or watering the flowers)

ANNIKA: (to Tommy) If only Pippi would go too, how much fun we could have!

TOMMY: You can't imagine what a nice teacher we have.

ANNIKA: If you only knew what fun it is in school! I'd die if I couldn't go to school.

TOMMY: You don't have to stay so long. Just until two o'clock.

ANNIKA: Yes, and besides, we get Christmas vacation and Easter vacation and summer vacation.

PIPPI: It is absolutely unfair! I won't stand for it!

TOMMY: What's the matter?

PIPPI: In four months, it will be Christmas, and then you'll have Christmas vacation! But what'll I get? No Christmas vacation - not even the tiniest bit of one. Something will have to be done about that. Tomorrow morning, I'll begin school!

ANNIKA: Hurrah! (and the children set off for school)

TEACHER: Welcome to school, Pippi. I hope you will enjoy yourself here and learn a great deal.

PIPPI: Yes, and I hope I'll get some Christmas vacation. That is the reason I've come. It's

Only fair, you know.

TEACHER: If you would first tell me your whole name, I'll register you in school.

PIPPI: My name is Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Efraim’s Daughter Longstocking, daughter of Captain Efraim Longstocking, formerly the Terror of the Sea, now a cannibal king. Pippi is really only a nickname, because Papa thought Pippilotta was too long to say.

TEACHER: Well, then, we shall call you Pippi, too. But now suppose we test you a little and see what you know. Pippi, can you tell me what seven and five are?

PIPPI: (shocked) Well, if you don't know that yourself, I'm certainly not going to tell you!

OTHER CHILDREN: (gasp)

(All the children stared at Pippi in horror)

TEACHER: (gently) Pippi, we don't answer that way in school.

PIPPI: (sincerely) I beg your pardon. I didn't know that. I won't do it again.

TEACHER: No, let us hope not. And now I will tell you that seven and five are twelve.

PIPPI: See that! You knew it yourself! So why are you asking?

(The teacher decided to act as if nothing had happened)

TEACHER: Well, now, Pippi, how much do you think eight and four are?

PIPPI: Oh, about sixty-seven.

TEACHER: Of course not! Eight and four are twelve!

PIPPI: Well now, really, that is carrying things too far! You just said that seven and five are twelve. There should be some rhyme and reason to things, even in school!

TEACHER: Tommy, if Lisa has seven apples and Axel has nine apples, how many apples do they have

together?

PIPPI: Yes, you tell her, Tommy, and tell me too, if Lisa gets a stomach-ache and Axel gets more of a stomach-ache, whose fault is it, and where did they get those apples in the first place?

TEACHER: (getting frustrated) Pippi, maybe you would prefer to learn reading. Here is a picture

of a wild goat called an ibex. And the letter you see in front of the ibex is called "i".

PIPPI: That I'll never believe. I think it looks exactly like a straight line with a little fly speck over it. But what I'd really like to know is, what does the ibex have to do with the fly speck?

NARRATOR 2: The teacher took out another card.

TEACHER: (trying to stay calm) And here is a picture of a snake, with the letter "s".

PIPPI: Speaking of snakes, I'll never ever forget the time I had a fight with a huge snake in India. (acting out her story)

(The teacher's patience had come to an end)

TEACHER: Children, go outside so I can talk to Pippi alone.

OTHER CHILDREN: (go out)

PIPPI: You know what? It was lots of fun to come to school to find out what it's like. But I don't think I want to come anymore-Christmas vacation or no Christmas vacation. There are altogether too many apples and ibexes and snakes and things like that. It makes me dizzy in the head. I hope you won't be upset, Teacher.

TEACHER: I certainly am upset, Pippi, but I'm upset that you won't behave properly! Any child who acts as badly as you do wouldn't be allowed to come to school no matter how much she wanted to!

PIPPI: (astonished, almost starting to cry) Have I behaved badly? Goodness, I didn't know that. You understand, Teacher, don't you, that when you have a mother who's an angel in Heaven and a father who's a cannibal king, you don't know just how to behave in school, with all the apples and ibexes.

TEACHER: (calming down) I understand, Pippi. I'm not annoyed anymore. Maybe you can come back

to school when you're a little older.

PIPPI: (happily) I think you are awfully nice, Teacher. And here is something for you.

(Pippi took from her pocket a lovely gold watch)

TEACHER: Pippi, I can't possibly accept such a valuable gift!

PIPPI: But you have to take it! Otherwise, I'll come back tomorrow, and you wouldn't like that, would you?

PIPPI: (waving and riding off) So long, kids. I won't be back for a while. But always remember how many apples Axel had-or you'll be sorry!

P. What for? I've already learned everything.Why should I read boring books?

M.C. Never mind! Let's draw now, children. Simply draw!

M.C. Pippy, what are you doing? Why are you painting on the floor?

P. Don`t you see? I'm painting my horse. It`s too big to fit on this small piece of paper.

A. She's right, Miss. We've seen her horse. It's quite big!

T. Only face may be painted.

M.C. I've had enough! It's time for all of us to rest. Let's have a break, children.

A. Well, how do you like our school?

P. It seemed to me that the teacher knows very little, just asking too many questions.

T. Oh, no. She's very smart.

P. May be. But, as for me, I'm going to have holidays right now!

T. What a crazy girl!

A. But she`s the best friend we know!

Pippi, my dear, what a pity! I would love to play with you all day long! But me and my brother Tommy have to go to school every morning.

Oh, my dear sister Annika, don't worry! After all, our annual summer vacation is coming soon. And we'll play together!

But it's not fair! I also want to have holidays!

You can't have holidays, Peppy, because you don't go to school. Only schoolchildren can have holidays.

I know what to do! Peppy will go to school with us.

And that means there will be holidays!

Let's go!

Quicker!

Miss Carlson, this is Pippi. We told you about her.

She wants to study with us.

O! What is this scarecrow? Who raised you?

My father is the king of an island in Africa.

I'm sure you don't know anything!

Stop it Bengt! Let's start with math. What is 5 + 7?

No, 12. How much is 8 + 4? Well, Pippi?

25!

No, 12.

Ha! You just told me that 12 is 5 and 7. Do not deceive! It's not easy to fool me!

Okay, let's guys repeat the letters. Annika.

This is an orange. Letter "O".O- O- Orange

That's right, Annika.

You're right, Tommy.

This is a book. Letter "B».

Well, stupid! "Oh" andorange- similar, "S" andsnake- are also similar. BUT "B" andbookhave nothing in common!

Oh my God! She doesn't even know the alphabet!

What for? I already know everything! Why else read these boring books?

Are you a professor already? And where is your degree?

We don't pay attention! Let's draw guys, just draw.

Peppy, what are you doing?! Why are you painting on the floor?

Isn't it visible? I draw my horse. It's too big to fit on such a small piece of paper!

She's right, Miss. We saw her horse. She is quite large.

Only the muzzle will enter the leaf.

I'm over it! It's time for us all to relax! Let's go for a change guys.

Well, how do you like our school?

It seems to me that the teacher knows very little, she asks questions all the time!

What you! She is very smart!

Maybe so! But personally, I'm going on vacation right now!

What a crazy girl!

But she is our best friend!
