As the children were sitting there eating pears, a girl came walking along the road from town. When she saw the children she stopped and asked, 'Have you seen my papa go by?' 'M-m-m,' said Pippi. 'How did he look? Did he have blue eyes?' 'Yes,' said the girl. 'Medium large, not too tall and not too short?' 'Yes,' said the girl. 'Black hat and black shoes?' 'Yes, exactly,' said the girl eagerly. 'No, that one we haven't seen,' said Pippi decidedly.
