You see, her father is the pirate Captain Ephraim Longstocking - Terror of the Sea, and her mama is an angel in Heaven. Nevertheless, Pippi agrees to go to school, but that doesn't go quite so well. It's the same story as she attends a tea party at the home of her friends. Despite their best efforts, she just doesn't seem to fit anywhere, and it doesn't seem that she ever will.
