Today is Friday.
The teacher began to think that Pippi was an unruly and troublesome child, and she 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. She told the students they could draw whatever they wished and sat down at her desk and began to correct copybooks. In a little while when she looked up to see how the drawing was going. All the children sat looking at Pippi, who was lay flat on the floor, drawing to her heart's content. The teacher asked Pippi impatiently why wasn't she drawing on the paper. Pippi told her that there wasn't room enough for her whole horse on that little slip of paper and if she had finished her drawing, she would go out in the hall. The teacher thought hard for a while and decided to teach the children to sing a song. All the students stood up by their seats except Pippi; she still stayed where she was on the floor. She told the teacher she would rest for a while and listen to them.
