The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking Page #2

Couple more minutes?

Five minutes. Nope, lights

out in half an hour.

How 'bout an hour? No. Sorry.

Time for bed.

Time for bed.

Now, you know where we are

if you need us, right?

Yes, good night.

You'll be all right? Yeah.

Love you. Love you.

Mom says the Villa

is over a hundred years old.

They can't tear it down just like that.

Just won't be the same anymore.

I don't wanna leave here...

ever.

You know, Annika, there's

something strange going on in there.

You mean somebody's in there?

Or maybe even... ghosts?

Yeah! Could be even a ghost.

Let's go check it out.

See anything? No.

Besides, you can't see ghosts.

Well, if you can't see ghosts,

then what are we looking for?

Shh!

What was that?

The step creaked.

Don't follow so close.

Look. It's up there.

If I say run, run!

Okay. Where?

Just run.

Look. Do ghosts have big shoes?

Give me the bat.

Can you hit a ghost? Shh. Stop

asking so many questions.

You see? It's nothing.

Probably just...

Hi. Who are you?

You're not a ghost? 'Course not.

The ghosts live up in the attic.

We know. We just saw one.

It was big and white

and had spots all over it.

That's my horse, Alfonso.

What's a horse doing

in the attic?

Beats me. I keep telling him not to

go up there, but he doesn't listen.

Alfonso, get down on the

porch, where you belong.

No way!

You see? He won't listen.

My name's Pippi.

Pippi Longstocking.

I'm Tommy, and this is my sister Annika.

What are you doing here?

I live here, of course. Are you

gonna stay here all by yourself?

I'm not all by myself. Mr. Neilson

and Alfonso live with me too.

Oh, is Mr. Neilson your father?

This is Mr. Neilson.

My father is a sea captain who

was washed overboard in a storm.

Did he drown? Of course not.

He lives on the Kurrekurre Island.

He's the king of the cannibals.

Cannibals? Real cannibals?

- There's no such thing today.

- How do you know?

You've never been there,

have you?

And do they really... eat you?

Yeah.

Which reminds me. I'm hungry.

You guys hungry?

- We're always hungry.

- Great.

What the heck's that ruckus

over there?

What could it be?

You don't suppose Tommy and

Annika... No, I'll go see.

Hey, Pippi!

Hey, Annika!

Pancakes, Alfonso?

Pancakes. Something new.

Tommy! Annika!

Just what in blazes

do you think you're doing?

We're just having

a midnight snack.

Care to join us? I have never seen

such a mess in my entire life!

You two are going to march

right home this very instant...

and go to bed!

And as for you, I don't know who you think

you are or what you think you're doing here,

but I'm going to get to the bottom

of this first thing in the morning.
