Now Pippi didn't look particularly Swedish with her red hair and all, nor did she really act like a Swede (well, most Swedes), but she was, in every inch. She'd carefully spelled her way through Sweden's mercifully short application, and now she was grinning.
"Hej på dig du, din filur*," she said cheerfully. "Didn't know countries could just get up and walk off. I thought you'd just lay there on the ground being countries. Suppose that's why I'm in school. Just imagine, I didn't know countries had to go to school either!" She was really learning a lot today!
Pippi balanced on her heals and regarded him curiously. "Would you look at that. You're not the chatty type, are you?" That was alright. Neither was Little Old Man.
"You'll get used to it. Not as cold as back home, but it is rainier. Not as rainy as Tibet, though! Once when I was there, I saw fish getting out because they thought it was too wet. But the people were happy! They just poured lemon juice and sugar into the water and made lemonade. That's what I think you should do. When life gives you too much rain, make lemonade." Said Pippi. And added after a short pause. "I could knit you a scarf if you like? I'm really good at knitting."

"That sure works for me!" Pippi showed off her dimples in another wide grin. "You can tell me when I ought to stop knitting. Otherwise I'll just make a scarf that's miles long. Of course I could always give it to my horse if I did. Or possibly a giraffe, if I can find one."

So he sat on the ground so he'd be closer to eye level, gave Pippi a rare smile, and said. "Mmm," nodding in confirmation. "All us c'ntr's can w'lk."
