Sven Nordqvist
The morning sun shone on Pettson’s little farm. The birds chirruped and sang. Bumblebees were already awake and buzzing among the apple blossoms, and from the hen house came a faint clucking.
But there was another noise. One you don’t normally hear in the countryside.
It went thump-squeak-thump-squeak-thump-squeak.
It came from Pettson’s house.
