Today is Sunday.

Tommy and Annika always looked longingly towards Villa Villekulla as they started off to school. They would much rather have gone to play with Pippi. If only Pippi had been going to school too; that would have been something else again. They thought it would  be fun to be with Pippi on the way from school to home and also from home to school. The more they thought the worse they felt to think that Pippi didn't go to school, and at last they decided to try to persuade her again. One afternoon when they had finished their homework and come to visit Pippi, Tommy told Pippi what a nice teacher they had in school. Annika added that what fun it was in school and she would die if she couldn't go to school. Pippi sat on a hassock, bathing her feet in a tub. She said nothing but just wiggled her toes so that the water splashed around everywhere. Tommy continued that she didn't have to stay so very long just until two o'clock. Annika told her they also had Christmas vacation, Easter vacation and summer vacation.
